U.S. spot 
Bitcoin ETFs have seen a net outflow of $254.7 million over the 30 calendar days ending October 26, according to data from Farside Investors cited by Crypto.news. This outflow occurred despite BlackRock's IBIT fund attracting nearly $962 million in inflows during the same period.
The divergence in ETF performance may reflect varying strategies or risk appetites among institutional investors. While some funds are losing assets, others, particularly those managed by major financial institutions like BlackRock, are gaining significant investment.
The broader market context shows a decline in the total crypto market cap to $2.77 trillion, with Bitcoin's price falling below $80,000 after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady. This suggests that macroeconomic factors may be influencing investor sentiment.
Bitcoin's price is currently at $80,654, down 1.23% in the last 24 hours and 0.61% over the past week. The overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, remains neutral at 51.
The outflows from some ETFs and inflows into others indicate a potential shift in investor preferences. Market participants will likely watch for further developments in ETF flows and any impact on Bitcoin's price.
