Question #123 ·
What was the impact of spot Bitcoin ETF outflows on the market in October 2025?
- ETF outflows of $122 million caused a brief dip but major inflows followed soon after, quickly neutralizing any lasting impact on Bitcoin price.
- Spot ETF outflows had minimal effect on Bitcoin price. The market quickly absorbed redemptions without any notable impact on price or volatility overall.
- Outflows of $1.22 billion from spot Bitcoin ETFs caused selling pressure in mid-October and coincided with Bitcoin’s price decline and further increased volatility. Right answer
Why is this the correct answer?
This is correct because heavy ETF redemptions mean large holders sold shares for Bitcoin, increasing supply on the market. That selling pressure contributed to Bitcoin’s drop and amplified volatility as prices adjusted to the outflows.
