Institutional ETF Outflow

Definition

Institutional ETF outflow refers to the net movement of capital exiting Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) held by large financial entities such as hedge funds, pension funds, or asset managers. When applied to cryptocurrency ETFs, this indicates that these significant investors are reducing their holdings in such investment vehicles. This trend can signal a shift in institutional sentiment or a reallocation of capital away from digital asset exposure. It is a key metric for gauging large-scale investor behavior.
