Bitcoin ETF Outflows 2025: Crash or Rebound Ahead?

Hey, crypto crew! Bitcoin’s bleeding—down 22% from its $108K peak, with ETFs dumping nearly a billion bucks! Standard Chartered says hold tight, but is the worst still coming? I’m BitGalactic, your 10-year crypto vet—let’s dig into this chaos!

Alright, here’s the rundown: Bitcoin ETFs got hammered Tuesday with $938 million in outflows—crazy selling pressure that dragged BTC to $82,500 by Wednesday, its lowest since November. It’s bounced to $84K, but Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered’s not popping champagne yet. He says this dip’s got more pain to dish out—think a ‘big capitulation’ still ahead.

Rewind to January: Trump’s election hype sent Bitcoin to $108,700, but now it’s caught in a perfect storm—stock markets tanking, that $1.4 billion Bybit hack, and memecoin drama on Solana. Kendrick’s been warning a $1 billion ETF outflow could mark the bottom—we’re close, but not there. Most ETF buyers? They’re down $1.3 billion, per his math.

With 10 years in crypto, here’s my spin: this isn’t just noise. BTC’s tied to broader markets now—CoinMetrics says crypto-stock correlation hit 0.6 in Feb 2025, up from 0.4 last year. Plus, institutional hands are shaky—JPMorgan thinks they’re cashing out or cutting losses. But here’s the flip: daily active BTC addresses are up 10% since January, per Glassnode. Adoption’s not dead—this is a shakeout.

Let’s time travel: 2018, Bitcoin crashed from $20K to $3K—80% wipeout. ETF talk was a pipe dream then, but retail panic was brutal. Fast forward to 2022: post-$69K peak, we saw 60% drops tied to Terra and FTX meltdowns. Today’s 22% dip? Tame by comparison, but the ETF angle’s new—big money’s in the game now.

Kendrick’s ‘clean break below $90K’ call echoes 2022’s $40K support break—opened the floodgates then. Difference now? Institutional FOMO’s fading, not fueling. History says these purges reset the market—2023’s rebound proved it. We might be in for a repeat, just with fancier players.

What’s next? Kendrick’s right—$80K could crack, maybe $74K if panic hits. But I say this bottoms out by March 2025—new narratives like stablecoin adoption or rate cuts could spark a rally to $95K by summer. Long game? BTC’s too stubborn to die.
