Arp's Crypto Digest

General Digital Asset Market View:

Bitcoin fell below the $100,000 psychological level for the first time since June 2025, driven by risk aversion and a second consecutive week of spot ETF outflows. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.21 billion in net outflows for the week ending November 7, following $799 million the previous week. Major withdrawals came from BlackRock’s IBIT ($581M), Fidelity’s FBTC ($438.4M), and ARK’s ARKB ($129M), partially offset by modest inflows of $26.3M into Grayscale’s BTC and Bitwise’s BITB. Overall, six issuers saw outflows and two saw inflows, as Bitcoin dropped 7.6% during the week. Despite the downturn, ETF issuers remain net positive year-to-date, suggesting limited risk of sustained outflows.

Macro:

US economic indicators including the October CPI will continue to be impacted by the government shut down. So the focus will be on economic activity data in China as well as the Q3 GDP in the UK. The US has Veteran’s Day on Tuesday (bond market closed).
