The drawdown followed steady gains earlier in the week, with $149 million in inflows Monday and $202 million Tuesday. Bitcoin traded between $108,201 and $113,567 over 24 hours despite the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points.

Cumulative net inflows dropped to $61 billion, with total assets under management declining to $149 billion, representing 6.75% of bitcoin’s market capitalization. ETFs hold about 1.5 million BTC (≈ $169 billion).
