The VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s HODL recorded net outflows of $6.52 million on January 30, 2026, a modest but notable pullback for a vehicle now managing approximately $1.32 billion in assets. The latest redemption wave represents roughly 0.49% of the fund’s assets under management, hinting at a touch of investor caution rather than a wholesale exit.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $78,975.06, having shed about 23.67% over the past three months. That slide comes after a powerful multi-quarter rally and appears to be testing the resolve of longer-term holders. The short-term picture looks shaky as well, with the coin flashing a 1-day technical signal of Sell, underscoring growing near-term bearish pressure.
While the latest outflow is small in percentage terms, it suggests some investors in HODL are trimming risk exposure as Bitcoin’s volatility reasserts itself and technicals weaken. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
