Bitcoin ETFs Hit By $225M Outflows Amid Iran Tensions

Bitcoin spot exchange traded funds recorded total net outflows of $225 million, which brought a sudden end to a seven day streak of positive inflows. BlackRock and other major issuers saw investors step back as broader financial markets reacted to renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran.

The wave of selling pushed the leading cryptocurrency to briefly dip below the $65,000 price mark before recovering some ground. Traditional stock markets also slipped as traders moved to safe haven assets, showing how macro events continue to impact digital asset prices.

Despite the sharp single day drop, the funds still managed to finish the full week with net green gains overall. Traders are now watching global news headlines closely to see if the market sell off will deepen or if buyers will step back in.
