likely pressure as the market prices in reduced institutional inflows

Market effects
Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows signal weakening demand for crypto exposure products, potentially affecting other crypto‑linked funds.
US‑based institutional investors are pulling capital, which may dampen broader North American crypto market sentiment.
Given Bitcoin's role as a global benchmark, sizable ETF outflows can influence worldwide crypto pricing and risk appetite.
