Record $1.26B Outflow Hits BlackRock Bitcoin ETF as Bearish Options Cost Soars

A staggering outflow of $1.26 billion has been recorded for BlackRock's Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), signifying a significant shift in investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the cost of bearish options, which allow investors to bet against an asset, has surged dramatically, reflecting growing concerns over the future performance of Bitcoin in the current market landscape. This combination of a massive capital withdrawal and the rising expense of protective financial strategies suggests a heightened level of pessimism among traders and investors regarding the cryptocurrency's potential trajectory. source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/11/18/record-usd1-26b-outflow-hits-blackrock-bitcoin-etf-as-bearish-options-cost-soars
