$200M Withdrawn from Bitcoin ETFs As Fed & CPI Uncertainty Looms
U.S.-listed bitcoin ETFs experienced $200 million in net outflows on Tuesday, marking a second consecutive day of withdrawals as traders de risked ahead of crucial economic reports.

Other ETFs like Ark Invest’s ARKB, Bitwise’s BITB, Fidelity’s FBTC, and VanEck’s HODL also saw significant outflows, with no inflows reported.
