Bitcoin ETFs see biggest outflows since June as sentiment weakens
Bitcoin is a type of digital money that people can buy and sell.
An ETF is a special fund that lets people invest in Bitcoin without actually owning it.
Recently, people pulled a lot of money out of these Bitcoin funds.
In one week, investors took out about $389.7 million, the most since June.
The week before, they had put in $853.5 million, so the mood changed quickly.
Bitcoin's price stayed around $63,000, which is about half of its highest price ever.
People are worried that interest rates might go up, which makes risky investments less attractive.
A new law called the Clarity Act, which would set rules for crypto, is moving slowly.
There was also a security problem with Coldcard wallets, which are used to store Bitcoin safely.
All of these things made investors more careful about crypto.
US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $389.7 million in net outflows in the week ended August 10, the biggest weekly withdrawals since June.
The outflows reversed the previous week's $853.5 million of inflows, which had been the strongest since April.
Bitcoin traded around $63,000, roughly 50% below its record high reached in October last year.
Investor caution was driven by concerns over higher interest rates and limited progress in Washington on the proposed Clarity Act.
A security vulnerability affecting Coldcard hardware wallets raised custody concerns and strengthened the case for ETF exposure over holding Bitcoin directly.
