The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, trading under ticker ARKB, recorded net outflows of $6.66 million on December 30, 2025, a modest but notable pullback as crypto markets close out a volatile year. With assets under management now at approximately $3.26 billion, the latest redemption wave represents about 0.20% of the fund’s total AUM, suggesting selective profit-taking or risk reduction rather than a wholesale investor exit.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $88,579.64. Despite its lofty price, Bitcoin has shed roughly 21.06% over the past three months, reflecting a sharp correction from prior highs. Short-term momentum appears more neutral, with the 1-day technical signal flashing a cautious Hold, underscoring investor indecision at current levels.
Against this backdrop, ARKB’s latest outflows fit a broader pattern of tactical repositioning: some institutional and retail holders are trimming exposure following Bitcoin’s drawdown, while others appear to be waiting on clearer signals before recommitting capital. The relatively small share of AUM affected by the move, however, indicates that core conviction in the ETF—and in Bitcoin as an asset class—remains largely intact even as traders recalibrate their risk heading into the new year.
