Deep Dive
1. Latest Confirmed Leaders
The freshest confirmed red day was 11 Dec, when net BTC ETF flows were approximately ?$77.34 million and FBTC was the largest single outflow at about $104 million. BlackRocks IBIT still posted roughly +$76.70 million that day, and Bitwises BITB added about +$8.44 million, partly offsetting the outflows. This is consistent with weekly chop where leadership rotates between the largest issuers. Market update
When FBTC leads outflows and IBIT remains positive, net totals can stay modestly negative rather than deeply risk-off.
2. Earlier This Weeks Pattern
On 8 Dec, net BTC ETF flows were roughly ?$60.48 million, with GBTC leading redemptions at about $44.03 million and FBTC at about ?$39.44 million, while IBIT recorded roughly +$28.76 million. The split shows investors rotating across vehicles rather than exiting uniformly. Summary
GBTC and FBTC often drive the red side of the ledger on outflow days, but IBITs steady inflows can cushion overall net flows.
3. Why Today May Not Be Posted Yet
Daily ETF flow tallies are finalized after the close and published with a short lag. If today ends up red, leadership typically comes from GBTC or FBTC, with IBIT frequently offsetting via inflows, as seen on 8 and 11 Dec. Recent examples here.
Check the days final tally after close to see if the pattern holds. Concentrated outflows in GBTC or FBTC tend to define who led on red days.
Conclusion
The latest confirmed red session had FBTC as the largest outflow while IBIT still took in cash, and an earlier red day showed GBTC and FBTC leading outflows. Once todays tally posts, expect leadership to mirror that rotation. If you want, I can refresh when todays figures are published and flag the leaders immediately.
