This wave of outflows coincided with a steep drop in Bitcoin's price, which

— its lowest in seven months, according to CoinGecko. The decline occurred amid a broader market selloff, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $903 million in outflows on November 20 alone, since these products launched.

The historic outflows highlight fragile market confidence,

may be ahead. "Unless macroeconomic or geopolitical events spark a rebound, the path of least resistance remains downward," QCP Capital's report stated. For now, Bitcoin ETFs are in a vulnerable spot, with November's withdrawals reshaping expectations for year-end investment trends.
