ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int’s ARKB recorded net outflows of $21.36 million on December 23, 2025, a move that trims risk exposure just as Bitcoin hovers near record territory. The redemption, while modest at roughly 0.65% of the fund’s latest $3.30 billion in assets under management, signals a pocket of profit-taking after a powerful year-long rally in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The latest flow data suggest some investors are locking in gains rather than abandoning the structure altogether. With AUM still firmly in multi‑billion‑dollar territory, ARKB remains one of the key listed vehicles for U.S. investors seeking direct Bitcoin price exposure through a regulated wrapper. The size of the withdrawal, relative to total assets, points more to active positioning around Bitcoin’s volatility than to a wholesale shift in sentiment toward the asset class.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,460.76. Over the past three months, the coin has delivered a strong advance, underscoring why some ETF holders may now be inclined to de‑risk after substantial price appreciation. On the technical side, the 1-day signal is flashing a bullish bias, indicating that momentum traders still see room for upside even as more valuation-conscious investors trim exposure via vehicles like ARKB.
