US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Suffer Heavy Redemptions

Fidelity's FBTC product led the industry withdrawals by shedding $199.9M in a single session. BlackRock's IBIT followed closely with $105M in capital departures.
Grayscale's GBTC recorded an additional $49.9M in withdrawals. Franklin Templeton's EZBC lost $32.9M. The single-day losses drove November's cumulative Bitcoin ETF redemptions to $869.8M across four trading sessions. Total net withdrawals across the seven most recent finalized sessions hit $1.36B.
The sharp sell-off followed a brief recovery on November 4, when the products attracted $74.6M in fresh capital. Selling pressure intensified as Bitcoin struggled to hold price levels above key ranges. Trading desks monitored order books for sustained downward movement.
