The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust (BITB) logged net outflows of $5.9 million on January 12, 2026, a relatively small move against its $3.56 billion in assets under management. The latest redemption represents roughly 0.17% of AUM, suggesting some profit-taking or risk trimming rather than a wholesale exodus from the product.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $95,066, down about 15.4% over the past three months as the broader crypto market cools from prior highs. Despite the medium-term pullback, the coin’s 1-day technical signal leans bullish, with a short-term reading of Buy, hinting that traders see near-term upside even as longer-term momentum has softened.
The combination of modest ETF outflows and a short-term buy signal on Bitcoin underscores a market caught between caution and opportunism: some institutional investors are lightening exposure at the margins, while technical traders appear ready to lean into any rebound. How those forces balance out in the coming weeks will help determine whether BITB’s latest outflow proves a blip or the start of a more sustained cooling in spot Bitcoin ETF demand.
