ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF, SBIT, recorded outflows of $5.54 million on February 27, 2026, trimming its assets under management to $166.47 million. The latest redemption wave represents roughly 3.33% of AUM, signaling that a meaningful slice of investors is pulling back from leveraged bearish Bitcoin exposure.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $66,234.33 after a bruising three months in which it has shed about 27.05%. Yet, despite the heavy drawdown and a 1-day technical signal still flashing Sell, the move out of SBIT suggests some traders may be locking in gains or unwinding hedges as volatility cools.
These flows underline the sensitivity of leveraged inverse products to short-term sentiment swings, with even modest shifts in conviction sparking outsized capital moves. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
