In the lead-up to a closely watched election, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. experienced their second-largest outflow on record.

On November 4, the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs faced a net outflow of $541.1 million, with only BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) recording positive inflows of $38.4 million. This drop in capital follows only the record outflow of $563.7 million on May 1, when Bitcoin plummeted 10.7% to around $60,000.

Traders have been reducing their Bitcoin positions, resulting in a 4.6% decline over the past week, with Bitcoin trading near $68,000, down 1.7% in the last 24 hours. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the outflows on November 4 with $169.6 million, followed closely by the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, which lost $138.3 million.

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) also experienced significant outflows, totaling $63.7 million, while its mini counterpart saw $89.5 million withdrawn.
