Key points
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows over multiple consecutive trading days.
- Leveraged long positions faced high liquidation exposure amid falling prices.
- Analysts noted potential capital competition from major public listings.
Why it matters
Shrinking stablecoin supply and ETF outflows reduce deployable liquidity in the market. Heavy leveraged long exposure increases downward pressure when prices decline.
What's unclear
Causation remains unproven regarding whether major stock market listings actively draw capital away from Bitcoin.
