US crypto ETFs recorded $1.53 billion in weekly net outflows, with Bitcoin funds accounting for most of the institutional pullback.
US crypto ETFs recorded $1.53 billion in weekly net outflows, with Bitcoin funds accounting for most of the institutional pullback. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $63,932.00, down 0.3% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief synthesising 2 outlets (Bitcoinist, Crypto.news), plus live market data, as of Sun, 15 Nov 2026 00:30:05 UTC.
A second consecutive week of Bitcoin ETF withdrawals shows sustained pressure on the largest listed crypto investment vehicle, while broader losses spread across several digital-asset funds. Avalanche’s contrasting ETF inflows did not prevent a sharp decline in its token price and network TVL.
- US crypto ETFs lost $1.53 billion during Nov. 9–13.
- Bitcoin funds generated most of the reported withdrawals.
- Bitcoinist reports more than $1 billion in weekly Bitcoin ETF exits.
- Avalanche ETFs were the only inflow category among 15 groups tracked.
Bitcoinist and Crypto.news agree that US crypto ETFs faced substantial net outflows during the reported trading week and that Bitcoin funds accounted for most of the withdrawals. Bitcoinist says US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost more than $1 billion for a second consecutive week, while Crypto.news puts combined outflows for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid and Zcash funds at $1.53 billion for Nov. 9–13. The outlets do not contradict each other, but they emphasize different details: Bitcoinist highlights the consecutive Bitcoin outflow streak and Avalanche’s status as the only inflow category among 15 tracked groups, whereas Crypto.news provides the combined five-asset figure and names the funds involved.
- Bitcoin ETF outflows reach $1.44 billion as BTC remains below $75,000
- Institutional Crypto Fund Withdrawals Reach $1.53 Billion in One Week — this brief
US-listed crypto ETFs saw a broad withdrawal cycle during the trading week of Nov. 9–13, with Crypto.news reporting combined net outflows of $1.53 billion from funds tracking 
Bitcoin, 
Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid and Zcash. According to that outlet, citing Farside Investors, Bitcoin funds were responsible for most of the institutional selling across the five asset categories covered in the data.
Bitcoinist’s coverage of the same trend focuses more closely on US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which registered withdrawals of more than $1 billion for the second consecutive week. That represents a narrower measure than the $1.53 billion reported across five digital-asset fund groups, but it shows that the weakness in Bitcoin-related products persisted beyond a single trading week.
The two outlets agree on the direction and scale of the outflows, with no numerical contradiction between their figures. Their difference is one of scope and emphasis: Crypto.news supplies the precise weekly total and identifies all five fund categories, while Bitcoinist highlights the second straight week of more than $1 billion in Bitcoin ETF withdrawals. Bitcoinist also reports that 
Avalanche ETFs were the only category among 15 tracked groups to attract net inflows, providing a notable exception to the broader outflow trend.
Network-level data from DeFiLlama show that the market weakness was not limited to investment products. Hyperliquid’s total value locked stood at $1.62 billion, down 10.3% over seven days, while Avalanche’s TVL was $122.7 million, down 9.4%. Avalanche’s comparatively positive ETF flow therefore coincided with declining network activity value and a 13.41% weekly fall in AVAX.
The wider market context was sharply negative at the time of the report. Bitcoin traded at $64,104, down 6.18% over 24 hours and 15.27% over seven days, with a $1.29 trillion market capitalization. AVAX was $7.09, down 13.99% over 24 hours, while the total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.23 trillion and the Fear & Greed index registered 10, or Extreme Fear. The combination of sustained ETF outflows, falling on-chain values and broad market declines makes continued institutional flows and Bitcoin’s $64,104 price level key areas to monitor.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₦90.45M (about $63,932.00), down 6.4% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
