What to know:

  • BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has experienced over $2.7 billion in redemptions over the past five weeks, marking its heaviest outflow cycle since its launch.
  • The iShares Bitcoin Trust is on track for a sixth consecutive week of outflows, reflecting a broader shift in crypto market positioning since October's market downturn.
  • Despite Bitcoin's recovery to the low $92,000s, institutional flows remain negative, indicating a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.

BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin ETF is seeing its heaviest redemption cycle since launch, with more than $2.7 billion pulled over the past five weeks as institutional flows continue to unwind into year-end.

The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which ballooned into a $71 billion vehicle during Bitcoin’s run to record highs, has now logged five straight weeks of outflows through Nov. 28, Bloomberg data shows.

The withdrawals mirror the broader shift in crypto positioning since October’s liquidation shock, when leveraged wipeouts erased over a trillion dollars in digital-asset market value and pushed Bitcoin into a confirmed bear phase.

IBIT was the largest single conduit for institutional inflows earlier this year, but that bid has reversed as fund managers cut exposure ahead of bonus season and macro uncertainty picks up.

Bitcoin has recovered to the low $92,000s this week, yet flows remain negative. Analysts say that matters more for directionality than short-term price action. Glassnode noted that the outflow cycle marks a clear break from the steady accumulation regime that underpinned BTC’s climb into October, describing the current trend as a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.

Bitcoin remains down about 27% from its all-time high set in early October, and IBIT’s flow data is increasingly viewed as a proxy for broader U.S. demand.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online. ZachXBT, known for his diligent on-chain investigations, was quick to flag the development. He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
