Bitcoin (BTC) is down 3.6% over the past week, falling from around $119,800 to the $114,500 range at the time of writing. This weakening price action is also reflected in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), most notably in BlackRock\u2019s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, which saw over $2.6 billion in outflows on August 1.<\/p>\n

IBIT Bitcoin ETF Sees Massive Outflows<\/h2>\n

According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake by contributor Amr Taha, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT ETF recorded more than $2.6 billion in outflows on August 1 – the highest figure in the past two months across all listed Bitcoin ETFs.<\/p>\n

\"ETF\"<\/p>\n

Taha highlighted that the sharp reversal in institutional demand for Bitcoin ETFs comes after several weeks of positive inflows, and indicates a growing sense of caution among ETF investors. Data from SoSoValue confirms<\/a> the trend.<\/p>\n

For the week ending August 1, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $643 million. This marked the end of a seven-week streak of positive inflows, which had totaled more than $10 billion.<\/p>\n

Another important point is that the $2.6 billion outflow from BlackRock\u2019s IBIT ETF was not mirrored by other ETFs. Analyst Taha also identified a correlation between IBIT outflows and Binance-origin USDT transfers on the Tron network.<\/p>\n

In his analysis, the CryptoQuant contributor noted that alongside the IBIT outflows, USDT transfers on Tron from Binance fell from approximately $2 billion to $1.3 billion – a sharp 35% decline. Taha added:<\/p>\n

The timing strongly suggests a link between the ETF-driven selling pressure and the accelerated pace of stablecoin withdrawal via Tron, a blockchain renowned for fast and cost-efficient transactions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tron network’s low fees and speed make it a preferred blockchain for both retail and institutional stablecoin transfers. Therefore, a drop in USDT transfers from Binance – occurring in tandem with IBIT outflows – suggests that institutional interest in BTC may be temporarily cooling off.<\/p>\n

\"trx\"<\/p>\n

Recent on-chain data shows Binance continues to lead other exchanges such as OKX, HTX, and KuCoin in terms of Tron-based USDT transfers. As a result, Binance volume trends often serve as a reliable indicator of investor sentiment shifts.<\/p>\n

Fresh Data Presents Mixed Forecasts<\/h2>\n

Beyond weakening ETF demand, new exchange data signals potential headwinds for Bitcoin in the near term. For example, Binance\u2019s net taker volume dropped to -$160 million last week, indicating increased sell-side activity.<\/p>\n

From a technical standpoint, things appear less than optimistic. Crypto analyst Josh Olszewicz recently predicted that BTC could remain range-bound until October 2025.<\/p>\n

Still, not all signs are bearish. A recent report from CoinShares estimates that Bitcoin could rise to $189,000 if it captures just 2% of global M2 money supply or 5% of gold\u2019s market cap. At press time, BTC trades at $114,494, up 0.3% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
