BlockBeats News, January 22nd, according to The Block, the US Bitcoin Spot ETF saw a net outflow of $7.087 billion yesterday, marking the largest single-day outflow in nearly two months, while the Ethereum ETF saw a net outflow of $2.869 billion. Against the backdrop of increasing macroeconomic uncertainty, institutional investors further reduced their risk exposure.

BTC Markets crypto analyst Rachael Lucas said that Wednesday's outflows looked more like typical "risk-off" behavior. She pointed out that when the macro environment turns unfavorable, such as rising interest rates, escalating geopolitical risks, or sudden market volatility, institutional investors tend to withdraw funds from high beta assets first. This is not a signal of structural weakness, but rather institutions tightening their risk exposure ahead of uncertainty, not necessarily abandoning the asset class of cryptocurrencies.
