According to CoinRepublic, Bitcoin ETF flows in 2025 reached a critical mass that significantly influenced BTC price movements. However, recent outflows have contributed to a bearish Q4, with BTC down 23% from its Q3 opening price. The quarter is on track to be the most bearish since before the FTX collapse. ETF activity has also shown a strong correlation with the S&P 500, as institutional investors applied similar strategies to those in the stock market. Bitcoin ETF AUM dropped from $163 billion in October to $116 billion at the time of observation. Analysts suggest that a liquidity rotation favoring crypto could occur in 2026 if market sentiment shifts.
