Extended crypto ETF outflows shows institutions disengaging: Glassnode

cointelegraphPublicado em 2025-12-24Última atualização em 2025-12-24

Resumo

Cryptocurrency ETFs, particularly for Bitcoin and Ether, are experiencing a prolonged period of outflows, signaling a significant pullback by institutional investors, according to analytics firm Glassnode. The 30-day simple moving average for net flows into US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs turned negative in early November, indicating muted institutional participation and a broader liquidity contraction in the crypto market. While aggregate Bitcoin ETF flows have been negative for four consecutive days, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw minor recent inflows. Despite the current trend, IBIT has attracted $62.5 billion since its launch, surpassing all competitors. Notably, it ranked sixth on Bloomberg’s 2025 Flow Leaderboard despite a negative return, even outperforming the SPDR Gold Shares fund in inflows, which analysts see as a positive long-term indicator.

Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds have seen a prolonged streak of outflows, indicating that institutional investors have disengaged with crypto, says the analytics platform Glassnode.

Since early November, the 30-day simple moving average of net flows into US spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETFs has turned negative, Glassnode said on Tuesday.

“This persistence suggests a phase of muted participation and partial disengagement from institutional allocators, reinforcing the broader liquidity contraction across the crypto market,” it added.

Flows into crypto ETFs usually lag the spot markets for the tokens, which have been trending down since mid-October.

The ETFs are also considered a bellwether for institutional sentiment, which has been a market driver for most of this year but seemingly turned bearish as the wider market has contracted.

Crypto ETF selling pressure is back

Coinglass said aggregate Bitcoin ETF flows have been in the red for the past four consecutive trading days. However, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has seen minor inflows over the past week.

“Crypto ETF selling pressure is back,” the Kobeissi Letter said on Tuesday. It reported that crypto funds recorded $952 million in outflows last week, and investors have now withdrawn capital in six out of the last ten weeks.

Despite the recent outflows, the industry-dominant BlackRock fund has seen $62.5 billion in inflows since inception, eclipsing all rival spot Bitcoin ETFs.

IBIT beat gold for flows

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on Saturday that IBIT is the only ETF on Bloomberg’s “2025 Flow Leaderboard” with a negative return for the year.

“The real takeaway is that it was sixth place despite the negative return,” he added.

Balchunas said that BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin fund even took in more than the SPDR Gold Shares fund (GLD), which was up 64%.

“That’s a really good sign long term IMO. If you can do $25 billion in a bad year, imagine the flow potential in a good year.”

Telegram Founder Claims French Officials Sold Crypto Data, Linked To 41 Kidnaps

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has accused French officials of selling crypto owners’ data to criminals, linking it to a sharp rise in kidnappings. France has seen 41 crypto-related kidnappings this year, part of a growing international trend known as “wrench attacks.” Durov criticized French policies requiring identity data and access to private messages, arguing that increased data flow leads to more leaks and victims. The incidents, which began in late 2024, have escalated significantly in 2026, now accounting for over half of all organized kidnappings tracked by French intelligence. In response, the government plans a broader crackdown, including a dedicated police unit, improved international coordination, and a new prevention platform for threat alerts and security guidance.

First Day Review of "Musk's WeChat" XChat: Even Worse Than Expected

Elon Musk's much-anticipated "WeChat-like" app, XChat, has officially launched after multiple delays. The initial review reveals a product that falls short of expectations, offering an experience largely similar to X Platform's (formerly Twitter) direct messages, despite being marketed as an encrypted communication tool. Key observations from the first-day test include: 1. The app's promoted "end-to-end encryption" and its claimed relation to Bitcoin's architecture were criticized by experts as a superficial attempt to capitalize on crypto buzz, with no real technical connection. 2. Musk's vision of an ad-free "secure communication system" is technically met, but only because the app is currently extremely basic, featuring only a single chat interface. 3. A promised anti-screenshot feature appears inconsistent; it works in X Platform group chats but fails within the XChat app itself, where screenshots still capture avatars. 4. The app supports 45 languages and has a 16+ age rating, indicating a broader tolerance for content compared to WeChat's 13+ rating. 5. A puzzling login process requires users to verify the email associated with their X account. 6. The touted encryption" feels minimal in practice, with its presence only indicated by a simple "Encrypted - Yes" label on messages. 7. Disappearing message timers for groups can be set from 5 minutes to 4 weeks, with the timer starting upon being read by a user. 8. Group invite links are shared with X Platform groups. 9. Group size limits are planned to be increased, aiming for 1000 members, a move that has drawn user criticism. 10. The app offers 8 different colored icons, and its chat bubbles are notably similar to WeChat's. Message deletion options mimic Telegram's. Crucially, many pre-announced features like importing X contacts, integrating Grok AI, X Money payments, and Cashtags are not yet available. The initial release is seen as a bare-bones and underwhelming first step.

a16z Founder: In the Agent Era, What Truly Matters Has Changed

Founder of a16z Marc Andreessen discusses the transformative shift into the Agent era in a recent podcast. He emphasizes that today’s AI is not an overnight breakthrough but the result of an 80-year evolution, now reaching practical utility. Key developments include the convergence of LLMs, reasoning models, coding capabilities, and agent-based recursive self-improvement. Andreessen describes agents as systems integrating LLMs with shells, file systems, markdown, and schedulers—combining new AI with established software components. This architecture enables introspection, state persistence, and cross-platform execution, moving beyond chatbots toward agent-first interaction. He predicts traditional UIs will fade as agents execute tasks on behalf of users or other bots. He compares the current AI investment cycle to the dot-com bubble but highlights stronger fundamentals, with major tech firms leading scalable, revenue-generating infrastructure expansion. Open source, edge inference, and local AI deployment are critical to global adoption and competition. Andreessen also addresses broader challenges: security risks, identity verification, financial infrastructure for agents, and organizational adoption. He cautions that societal and institutional barriers will shape the pace of AI integration, tempering both utopian and dystopian expectations.

After 4 Months, Polymarket Helped Trump Catch the Military Operation Leaker, But at a Cost...

A U.S. Marine Corps sergeant, Gannon Ken Van Dyke, was arrested by the Department of Justice for insider trading on Polymarket, a prediction market platform. Van Dyke allegedly placed bets totaling $33,933 on events related to a U.S. military operation in Venezuela, including the ousting of President Maduro, before the action occurred in January 2026. He profited over $409,000, a return of more than 1200%. This case marks the first U.S. crackdown on insider trading using confidential government information in prediction markets. Two other addresses also profited from insider knowledge, earning a combined $630,400. In response, Polymarket introduced stricter market integrity rules in March, explicitly banning insider trading, including the use of stolen confidential information or trades by individuals who can influence event outcomes. The platform has implemented monitoring systems and may ban addresses, pursue legal action, or refer cases to authorities. While these measures enhance regulatory compliance, they may reduce Polymarket's edge in forecasting events through early information and raise user concerns about account freezes and financial security. The balance between preventing abuse and maintaining platform freedom remains a challenge.
