Bitcoin Defies ETF Outflows: Soaring Past $90K on Resilient Demand – Buy the Dip to $100K?

BTCUSD trades above $90000 despite declining institutional demand. It hits an intraday high of $90325, and at the moment, it is around $90117.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $782 million in net outflows during the Christmas week (ending around December 26-27, 2025), extending a six-day withdrawal streak amid thin holiday liquidity and year-end positioning. Notable daily redemptions included approximately $276 million on December 26 (led by BlackRock's IBIT at ~$193 million and Fidelity's FBTC at $74 million) and $175-188 million on December 24 (with IBIT seeing significant exits). Total assets under management fell to around $113.5 billion, down from over $120 billion earlier in December, even as Bitcoin's price remained resilient near $87,000. Analysts largely attribute the outflows to seasonal factors like portfolio rebalancing and reduced trading activity rather than waning institutional interest, with expectations for potential inflow resumption in January.
