On January 15, 2025, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, as reported by Lookonchain. Specifically, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of 3,062 BTC, equivalent to approximately $302.76 million, with Blackrock's iShares ETF contributing a notable outflow of 2,274 BTC, valued at $224.9 million. At the time of the report, Blackrock's iShares ETF held a total of 553,993 BTC, amounting to $54.78 billion (Lookonchain, January 15, 2025). Concurrently, Ethereum ETFs recorded a net outflow of 16,114 ETH, totaling approximately $53.01 million. The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust was a significant contributor to these outflows, with 12,250 ETH withdrawn, equating to $40.3 million. At the time of the report, the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust held 458,626 ETH, valued at $1.51 billion (Lookonchain, January 15, 2025). These outflows represent a notable shift in investor sentiment and could signal broader market dynamics at play.

The implications of these ETF outflows are substantial for traders. The Bitcoin price, as recorded on CoinMarketCap, was $98,900 at 12:00 PM UTC on January 15, 2025, reflecting a 2.5% decrease from the previous day's closing price of $101,500 (CoinMarketCap, January 15, 2025). This drop in price could be attributed to the significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, as investors may be reallocating their assets in response to market conditions. Similarly, Ethereum's price was noted at $3,290 at 12:00 PM UTC on January 15, 2025, down 1.8% from the previous day's close of $3,350 (CoinMarketCap, January 15, 2025). The trading volumes for both Bitcoin and Ethereum on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase were also impacted. On Binance, Bitcoin's trading volume was recorded at 23,450 BTC with an average trade size of 1.2 BTC at 11:00 AM UTC, while Ethereum's trading volume was 150,000 ETH with an average trade size of 2.5 ETH at the same time (Binance, January 15, 2025). On Coinbase, Bitcoin's trading volume was 18,900 BTC with an average trade size of 1.5 BTC, and Ethereum's trading volume was 120,000 ETH with an average trade size of 2.0 ETH (Coinbase, January 15, 2025). These volumes indicate increased market activity, potentially driven by the ETF outflows.
