Bitcoin ETFs Suffer Decline in Net Inflows Amid Bearish Market Trend

The recent decline in net inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has raised concerns about the future of the cryptocurrency. The cumulative total has dropped to $54 billion from an all-time high of $63 billion, with a significant portion of this decline occurring since July 2025. This trend is not unique to Bitcoin ETFs, as other asset classes have also seen a decrease in net inflows.

The flow data suggests that investors are not accumulating Bitcoin, but rather selling it, which is contributing to the bearish trend in the market. According to researcher Axel Adler Jr., three consecutive positive sessions are needed to confirm renewed accumulation in the ETFs. Until then, the flows continue to act as a source of supply for the market.
