In November, BlackRock’s Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT) posted a cumulative net outflow of $2.34 billion, with ~$463 million on November 14 and ~$523 million on November 18, each date marking a new intramonth outflow record. The reading underscores episodic demand shifts for a market-capitalization instrument that remains a cornerstone of crypto exposure for large funds.
Cristiano Castro, IBIT’s Director of Business Development, described the outflows as a normal feature of price cycles and liquidity dynamics, reaffirming BlackRock’s confidence in the fund’s long-term prospects. He noted that the Bitcoin Spot ETF has become a meaningful revenue stream; its rapid expansion reflects robust demand from a broad retail base while price pullbacks trigger temporary redemptions.
With Bitcoin trading back above $90,000, IBIT holders carry an estimated $3.2 billion in unrealized gains that help offset earlier losses, illustrating how the ETF’s liquidity and exposure can cushion volatility while enabling flexible capital allocation for investors.
