Bitcoin ETF Investors Face Losses as Market Downturn Continues

  • Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. are collectively underwater as BTC falls below $89,600.
  • Over $254 million exited Bitcoin funds on Monday, led by BlackRock’s major outflows.

Investors in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States are now collectively underwater for the first time since these products were launched, according to market intelligence company Glassnode. Bitcoin plunged below $89,600 on Tuesday, causing the average entry price for all spot Bitcoin ETFs to move underwater. 

Some early adopters who purchased at prices from $40,000 to $70,000 continue to be profitable; however, the average investor finds themselves nursing unrealized losses. Long-term holders are also unlikely to panic sell at this moment, as most of these investors view this as a long-term strategic allocation and not a short-term trade.

Heavy Withdrawals Continue Across Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds

Monday saw a wave of capital leaving cryptocurrency ETF products, with Bitcoin products losing $254.6 million in a single day. BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin product had the largest outflow at $145.6 million, while some of Fidelity’s Bitcoin offerings had outflows of $12 million. This was the fifth consecutive day of outflows for Bitcoin ETFs, which began on November 12 with outflows of $278.1 million. 

Outflows continued to accelerate on November 13, when outflows reached $866.7 million, the second-worst inflow figures in the short 5-month history of Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum ETFs also had negative outflows, generating a combined $182.7 million in net outflows. Of this, outflows in BlackRock’s Ethereum product accounted for $193 million.

Market analysts have stated that the downturn was due to broader macroeconomic conditions, rather than anything unique to cryptocurrency, specifically, tight liquidity and risk-on sentiment. Investors have sought out safer assets. There will be a turnaround in digital assets whenever we see clearer signs of economic easing, softer inflation numbers, and a central bank with easier monetary policy.

Notably, Solana ETFs have gone against their trend altogether, maintaining their flawless inflow record since they came into existence in late October. The Bitwise Solana fund added $7.3 million on Monday, while Grayscale’s product added $0.9 million. Cumulative all Solana ETFs have seen around $390 million in total inflows, and both investors find interest even with a tough market of late.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.

The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational

The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational

The post The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS – SEPTEMBER 10: Flanked by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi (rear), and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary (R), Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks to the press outside Midwest Distribution after it was raided by federal agents on September 10, 2025 in Bensenville, Illinois. According to the company, various e-liquids were seized in the raid. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images) Getty Images While running for President in 2008, Barack Obama famously chanted “Yes we can.” Love or hate his political views, Obama’s politics were quite effective. He was asking voters to think big, to envision a much better future. Advertisers no doubt approved. That’s because ads routinely evoke things not as they are, but as they could be. Gyms and exercise equipment companies don’t promote their locations and equipment with flabby, lumbering people, rather their ads show fit, upright, energetic individuals. A look ahead. Restaurants do the same with ads showing happy people enjoying impressively put together plates of food. Conversely, ads meant to convince smokers to quit have not infrequently shown the worst of the worst future downsides of the habit. The nature of advertising comes to mind as FDA commissioner Marty Makary puzzlingly brags that “The Trump Administration Is Taking On Big Pharma” in the New York Times. Makary laments pharmaceutical ads that “are filled with dancing patients, glowing smiles and catch jingles that drown out the fine print.” Not explained is whether Makary would be happier if drug companies placed ads with immobile patients, frowns, and funereal music. Seriously, what does he expect? Does he want drug companies to commit billions to drug development to accompany their achievements with imagery defined by misery? Has Makary stopped to contemplate the myriad shareholders lawsuits drugmakers would face if, upon risking staggering sums meant…
