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.

Dogecoin, HBAR Rank High On Watchlists But One Crypto Is Stealing The Show

The post Dogecoin, HBAR Rank High On Watchlists But One Crypto Is Stealing The Show appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto traders searching for the best crypto to buy now are keeping a close eye on Dogecoin (DOGE) and Hedera (HBAR), two altcoins that remain top picks for September. DOGE continues to benefit from its loyal community and brand recognition, while HBAR’s enterprise partnerships keep it relevant as a layer-1 solution. But despite these strong contenders, analysts say one project is stealing the show — Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a fast-growing Ethereum Layer 2 that has taken the market by storm. Why Dogecoin and HBAR are still relevant Dogecoin remains a fan favorite, with its meme status and history of viral rallies making it a top speculative asset. Analysts believe DOGE could see another strong run in the next bull market, especially if Elon Musk tweets about it or if a DOGE payment integration is announced. In 2021, DOGE’s price rallied thousands of percent, proving that viral moments can still drive massive upside when the community is fully engaged. HBAR, meanwhile, is considered one of the most technically advanced layer 1 blockchains, its hashgraph consensus and enterprise partnerships gave it a unique edge. Projects in sectors like supply chain, tokenized assets, and enterprise data security continue to choose HBAR, which helps support steady price appreciation. Price predictions for HBAR suggest consistent growth into 2026 as adoption expands. Layer Brett: The real market disruptor While DOGE and HBAR are strong players, Layer Brett is where traders are seeing the most explosive potential. Built on Ethereum Layer 2, $LBRETT offers lightning-fast transactions, near-zero fees, and security backed by Ethereum. Its rapidly growing social presence, with thousands of new community members joining weekly, is driving massive buzz. Analysts say this mix of speed, low cost, and meme energy is creating a narrative that could dominate the next bull run. Key reasons analysts are calling…

Will Bitcoin Beat S&P 500 Index? ‘Forever,’ Says Michael Saylor

Will Bitcoin Beat S&P 500 Index? ‘Forever,’ Says Michael Saylor

The post Will Bitcoin Beat S&P 500 Index? ‘Forever,’ Says Michael Saylor appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent Bitcoin news, Strategy CEO Michael Saylor once again made a bold claim about the future of Bitcoin (BTC USD). He said that Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 “forever.” According to him, the index would lose nearly 29% in value each year when compared to the top cryptocurrency. In his statement, Saylor highlighted Bitcoin’s strength as a long-term investment. He believes its fixed supply and global adoption will continue to drive its value higher. On the other hand, he argued that a traditional index like the S&P 500 will struggle to keep pace. Bitcoin News: Why is it “Digital Capital,” Stronger Than S&P 500 In his interview with Coin Stories, MicroStrategy executive chairman, Michael Saylor, explained Bitcoin was a unique digital investment vehicle. According to him, it grows in value much faster than traditional assets. Saylor noted that the S&P 500’s average return is often treated as the standard measure of investment growth. However, he emphasized that Bitcoin (BTC USD) consistently outpaces this benchmark. This difference, he said, highlights a clear performance gap. Because of this, Saylor believes a major financial shift is taking place. He argued that Bitcoin is emerging as a superior choice for investors, an increasingly popular opinion as witnessed in recent news. In his view, it also serves as stronger collateral compared to traditional assets. In his view, Bitcoin’s steady appreciation gives investors a chance to create new forms of credit backed by the asset. He explained that Bitcoin-backed loans could last longer, deliver higher returns, and reshape global finance. Michael Saylor also highlighted that this perspective influenced his role in policy discussions. Recently, he joined other crypto executives in a meeting to advocate for the strategic Bitcoin reserve bill. In addition, he compared Bitcoin’s reliability with weakness in traditional currencies. He argued that…
