The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, ticker ARKB, recorded fresh pressure on investor appetite on January 22, 2026, as it saw outflows of $29.83 million. The withdrawal, while modest relative to the fund’s size, represents roughly 0.90% of its latest reported assets under management, which stand at about $3.31 billion. The move underscores a cautious turn among investors after Bitcoin’s recent slide.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $88,271.69, having shed more than 20% over the past three months. The short-term backdrop is also weak, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, suggesting momentum remains tilted to the downside despite Bitcoin’s long-term adoption narrative.
For ETF holders, the latest outflow may reflect tactical repositioning rather than a wholesale loss of confidence, as some investors lock in earlier gains or wait for clearer signs of a bottom in the crypto market. With ARKB still commanding multi-billion-dollar AUM, the fund remains a key barometer of institutional and retail sentiment toward spot Bitcoin exposure.
