What to know:

  • BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has experienced over $2.7 billion in redemptions over the past five weeks, marking its heaviest outflow cycle since its launch.
  • The iShares Bitcoin Trust is on track for a sixth consecutive week of outflows, reflecting a broader shift in crypto market positioning since October's market downturn.
  • Despite Bitcoin's recovery to the low $92,000s, institutional flows remain negative, indicating a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.

BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin ETF is seeing its heaviest redemption cycle since launch, with more than $2.7 billion pulled over the past five weeks as institutional flows continue to unwind into year-end.

The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which ballooned into a $71 billion vehicle during Bitcoin’s run to record highs, has now logged five straight weeks of outflows through Nov. 28, Bloomberg data shows.

The withdrawals mirror the broader shift in crypto positioning since October’s liquidation shock, when leveraged wipeouts erased over a trillion dollars in digital-asset market value and pushed Bitcoin into a confirmed bear phase.

IBIT was the largest single conduit for institutional inflows earlier this year, but that bid has reversed as fund managers cut exposure ahead of bonus season and macro uncertainty picks up.

Bitcoin has recovered to the low $92,000s this week, yet flows remain negative. Analysts say that matters more for directionality than short-term price action. Glassnode noted that the outflow cycle marks a clear break from the steady accumulation regime that underpinned BTC’s climb into October, describing the current trend as a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.

Bitcoin remains down about 27% from its all-time high set in early October, and IBIT’s flow data is increasingly viewed as a proxy for broader U.S. demand.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions. The low user engagement has greatly affected the transaction count in recent days. In addition, the security breach over the weekend by malicious attackers on Shibarium has probably worsened issues. Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…

This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026

This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026

The post This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The SEC has approved a framework for the streamlined adoption of digital asset products in the United States on Wednesday, allowing exchanges to list and trade commodity-based trust shares without requiring a rule change to be filed first. This marks a significant milestone, opening the door for a surge in spot altcoin ETFs in the coming months. As a result, anticipation is building around institutional liquidity flows to the altcoin market – but which projects could perform the best?  Many analysts are betting on Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) as a potential 1000x opportunity. It has not yet launched on exchanges, so it’s not immediately eligible for a spot ETF like some of the larger altcoins. That said, its use case positions it at the forefront of blockchain innovation, which signals huge potential for price gains as institutional capital rotates through the altcoin market. The project is developing the world’s first ZK-rollup-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain, addressing Bitcoin’s key issues of slow speeds and limited functionality while maintaining its renowned characteristics of security and immutability. SEC Approves Generic ETF Listing Standards The SEC has approved a proposed 19b-4 rule change from Cboe’s BZX exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca to standardize listing requirements for crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) and streamline the process for public trading. According to Bloomberg ETF expert James Seyffart, this move paves the way for a “wave of spot crypto ETP launches in the coming weeks and months.” WOW. The SEC has approved Generic Listing Standards for “Commodity Based Trust Shares” aka includes crypto ETPs. This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for. Get ready for a wave of spot crypto ETP launches in coming weeks and months. pic.twitter.com/xDKCuj41mc — James Seyffart (@JSeyff) September 17, 2025 Under the new listing standards, commodities must meet one of three conditions…
