Cryptocurrency Market Under Pressure as ETF Flows Reversal and Liquidations Mount

The cryptocurrency market has been under pressure in recent days, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the way down.

According to data from Farside Investors, Bitcoin ETF flows turned negative on March 18, with approximately $129.6 million in net outflows. This reversal is notable after several sessions of steady inflows earlier in the week, suggesting that institutional demand has become more sensitive to short-term price action.

Ethereum ETFs followed a similar pattern, posting roughly $55.5 million in net outflows. The losses were concentrated across multiple funds, with no meaningful offsetting inflows, reinforcing the idea that institutional capital is pulling back broadly rather than rotating within the asset class.
