The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust saw fresh signs of investor caution this week as its flagship fund, BITB, recorded outflows of $10.97 million on January 27, 2026. The redemption represents roughly 0.32% of the ETF’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at about $3.45 billion, suggesting a notable but not yet destabilizing pullback from investors.
The outflow comes at a time when sentiment around the underlying asset has turned sharply negative. The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,739.53, down about 20.6% over the past three months. Technical gauges reflect that pressure: the one-day signal for the token is flashing a decisive Strong Sell, underscoring the near-term bearish tone that appears to be spilling into ETF positioning.
While the latest move represents only a sliver of BITB’s overall AUM, it fits into a broader narrative of waning risk appetite in crypto-linked products as traders respond to sustained price weakness and rising technical headwinds. If Bitcoin’s slump deepens or persists, more investors may reassess their exposure via vehicles like BITB, potentially turning modest outflows into a more durable trend.
