The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, trading under ticker ARKB, saw investors pull $29.8 million on January 22, 2026, in one of its sharper single-day outflows this month. The redemption represents roughly 0.9% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at about $3.31 billion, signaling a meaningful—if not yet alarming—bout of profit-taking or risk reduction among holders.
The latest move comes against a backdrop of renewed pressure in spot bitcoin prices. The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $89,457.73, down roughly 19.3% over the past three months as the market digests tighter liquidity conditions and fading post-halving euphoria. Short-term sentiment is firmly negative, with the 1-day technical outlook flashing a decisive Strong Sell signal.
For ARKB, the outflow underscores how quickly institutional and tactical money can pivot in response to technical and macro headwinds, even after a strong multi-quarter run-up in bitcoin and related products. While the fund’s overall AUM remains robust, the latest redemption highlights investors’ growing sensitivity to downside volatility and the possibility that some are rotating into cash or less-correlated assets as risk appetite cools.
