- US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their heaviest weekly outflow since late June.
- BlackRock's IBIT accounted for most of the sector's withdrawals, while Fidelity's FBTC attracted fresh inflows on Friday.
- The October consumer-price report due Tuesday is the next stated catalyst for rate expectations and risk assets.
BlackRock's exposure to digital assets is facing renewed scrutiny after heavy withdrawals from US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the week ended Friday, November 6. Yahoo Finance reported on Monday, November 9, that the sector recorded its worst weekly outflow since late June, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, accounting for most of the withdrawals.
BlackRock stock traded at 1,071.50 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 13:08 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026.
Crypto flows turn into investor focus
Yahoo Finance said investors withdrew 1.2817 billion US dollars from US spot Bitcoin ETFs across the five trading days. IBIT accounted for 1.209 billion US dollars of that amount, making it the main source of the sector's negative flows. The report said the withdrawals pushed total 2026 net flows for the group to approximately negative 914 million US dollars.
The flow pattern was not uniform. Fidelity's FBTC attracted 42.8 million US dollars on Friday, while IBIT lost 403 million US dollars. That divergence points to selective repositioning within digital-asset products rather than a uniform exit from every Bitcoin vehicle.
Why the withdrawals matter
Persistent redemptions can pressure fund assets and fee revenue, although one week of flows does not establish a lasting change in BlackRock's earnings outlook. The report also noted that spot Ether ETFs recorded approximately 365.3 million US dollars in weekly outflows, indicating that the retreat extended beyond Bitcoin products.
Higher interest-rate expectations added to the pressure on speculative assets. The report cited October US payroll growth of 165,000 jobs and a decline in unemployment to 4.1%. Markets were pricing in an approximately 81% probability of a quarter-point Federal Reserve rate increase in December, up from approximately 72% before the employment report.
Inflation is the next catalyst
October's US consumer-price report is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. A stronger reading could reinforce expectations for tighter monetary policy, while softer inflation could ease pressure on risk assets. Yahoo Finance also cited a 10-year US Treasury yield near 4.87% and said the Nasdaq Composite fell 5.52% on November 5.
