Despite the withdrawals in Bitcoin ETFs, IBIT remained the leading fund globally, with more than 805,000 BTC in its balance sheet, worth about $87 billion at current spot prices. Fidelity’s FBTC follows with roughly 295,000 BTC in its holdings, while Grayscale’s GBTC currently manages approximately 270,000 BTC after months of redemptions.

At the time of publication, Bitcoin has dropped by more than 1.4% and is currently trading at $109,345. BTC is also down nearly 5.6% for the month.
Bitcoin’s price drop was fueled by anxiety around the Federal Reserve’s plan for future rate cuts. Fed chair Jerome Powell said yesterday that another rate cut in December is far from guaranteed.
COO at crypto exchange Bitget, Vugar Usi Zade, argued that Powell’s remarks prompted traders to scale back expectations. He noted that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs showed signs of investor caution as they collectively recorded outflows since yesterday.
Polymarket showed a 71% chance of a quarter-point rate cut at the Fed’s December meeting, down from around 90% before Powell’s remarks. The CME FedWatch tool showed a 67% chance of the Fed cutting rates before year-end.
Binance Whale Ratio surges, signaling potential selloffs
CryptoQuant’s latest weekly report revealed that U.S. investor demand for crypto has dropped sharply, with spot BTC ETFs recording their weakest seven-day average outflow of 281 BTC since April. The CME futures basis also dropped to multi-year lows, suggesting that profit-taking by institutional and retail traders was the primary driver, rather than additional exposure.
CryptoQuant analysts have noted a concerning trend emerging on the Binance crypto exchange following the October 10 market crash. The Exchange Whale Ratio showed a significant and steady surge in whale activity, from an exponential low of 0.33 on October 12, to a high level of 0.41 between October 22 and 25.
The analytics platform suggested that the change in activity indicates that large holders are consistently transferring substantial amounts of BTC to Binance. CryptoQuant warned that the divergence with the rise in Bitcoin’s price signals that the largest players are increasing their potential sell-side liquidity.Â
