The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust (BITB) recorded net outflows of $5.72 million on December 24, 2025, a modest pullback that nonetheless highlights growing investor caution after a powerful crypto rally. With assets under management now standing at roughly $3.39 billion, the latest redemption represents about 0.17% of the fund’s total AUM—hardly a stampede for the exits, but enough to signal profit-taking as the year draws to a close.
