The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, traded under ticker ARKB, recorded sizeable net outflows of $29.83 million on January 22, 2026, underscoring renewed investor caution toward spot bitcoin products. The withdrawal represents roughly 0.9% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at about $3.32 billion, a meaningful bite for a single session in an otherwise fast-growing ETF category.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $88,859.99, down nearly 19% over the past three months. Despite bitcoin’s elevated price level by historical standards, the short‑term picture looks fragile: the one‑day technical signal flashes a bearish Strong Sell, reflecting weak momentum and increasing downside pressure.
The combination of a sharp three‑month pullback and a strongly negative technical profile appears to be pushing some investors to trim their exposure via ARKB, even as institutional adoption of spot bitcoin ETFs continues. While the latest outflow is modest relative to total AUM, it may signal a shift from aggressive dip‑buying toward more risk‑managed positioning, especially among traders who piled into the product during bitcoin’s prior surge.
