ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int’s ARKB logged outflows of $21.36 million on December 23, 2025, a notable pullback that trimmed roughly 0.65% of the fund’s $3.31 billion in assets under management. While the withdrawal is modest relative to total AUM, it underscores mounting investor caution toward spot Bitcoin exposure after a strong run-up in prices.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $86,757.19. After a powerful three-month rally (data show a double‑digit percentage gain over the period), some investors appear to be locking in profits or rebalancing risk, contributing to the latest outflow from ARKB. Short-term sentiment, however, remains technically constructive, with the 1-day signal flashing bullish, suggesting momentum traders still see upside potential despite rising volatility.
Against this backdrop, ARKB’s flows highlight a familiar dynamic in crypto-linked products: even as long-term adoption themes remain intact, tactical positioning can shift quickly as Bitcoin approaches new price milestones.
