Bitcoin jitters ripple into ETFs as VanEck’s HODL fund sees fresh outflows. The VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest recorded net redemptions of $5.2 million on February 05, 2026, trimming its assets under management to about $1.02 billion. The latest move represents roughly 0.51% of AUM, a meaningful but not yet destabilizing pullback.

The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $69,535.30 after a bruising three-month slide of nearly 35%. Short-term momentum remains weak, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell. The outflow from HODL underscores how even modest sentiment shifts in spot bitcoin can quickly translate into directional ETF flows for institutional and retail holders alike.
While a single day’s redemption is unlikely to alter the fund’s longer-term trajectory, repeated outflows of this magnitude could pressure liquidity and spreads, especially if bitcoin’s downside extends. Investors will be watching whether HODL’s flows stabilize or accelerate alongside any further volatility in BTC-USD.
