VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s flagship spot Bitcoin ETF, HODL, recorded net outflows of $11.57 million on January 08, 2026, trimming risk exposure after a volatile stretch in the crypto market. The latest redemption represents roughly 0.81% of the fund’s $1.43 billion in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful but not destabilizing move that hints at growing investor caution rather than a full-scale exodus.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $90,234.03, having dropped about 25.49% over the past three months. Despite the sharp pullback, the 1-day technical signal remains a cautious Hold, suggesting traders are reluctant to either double down or capitulate at current levels.
The latest outflow from HODL fits a broader pattern of profit-taking and de-risking after Bitcoin’s powerful rally earlier in the cycle gave way to a deeper correction. With nearly 1% of the ETF’s capital moving to the sidelines in a single day, institutional and retail investors alike appear to be reassessing their exposure to Bitcoin-linked products, watching closely to see whether the digital asset can stabilize above key psychological thresholds.
