The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, trading under ticker ARKB, recorded significant outflows on January 30, 2026, with roughly $71.6 million exiting the fund. The move, set against a latest reported AUM of about $3.01 billion, means approximately 2.38% of the ETF’s assets under management walked out in a single session—an unusually sharp vote of caution from investors.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $78,975.06, having shed about 23.67% over the past three months. Despite bitcoin’s long-term adoption narrative, the near-term tone remains fragile: the 1-day technical signal stands at Sell, reinforcing the impression that traders are still bracing for further downside or, at best, a period of consolidation.
For ARKB, the sizeable one-day redemption underscores how quickly flows can turn in a market dominated by momentum and macro sentiment. As bitcoin struggles to reclaim its recent highs, ETF investors appear more inclined to de-risk rather than “buy the dip,” suggesting that any renewed inflows may depend on clearer signs of technical stabilization and a more supportive macro backdrop.
