# Bitcoin ETFs Shed $225M, Snapping Seven-Day Inflow Streak as Iran Tensions Spook Markets

Bitcoin ETFs experienced their first outflow in eight days, with $225 million withdrawn as U.S.-Iran tensions escalated. BlackRock's IBIT led the exits as Bitcoin briefly dipped under $65,000, though the week still closed in the green.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced their first outflow in eight days, with a total of $225 million withdrawn. This snapped a seven-day inflow streak as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated, causing a brief dip in Bitcoin's price below $65,000 and a decline in stock markets.

BlackRock's IBIT ETF saw the largest exit, reflecting broader market jitters. Despite the outflow, Bitcoin managed to close the week in the green, showing resilience amid the geopolitical uncertainty.

For everyday investors, this highlights how global events can impact crypto markets. While Bitcoin ETFs offer a more traditional way to invest in Bitcoin, they are still subject to the same market volatility and geopolitical risks as direct investments.

Investors should watch for further developments in U.S.-Iran relations and monitor Bitcoin's price movements. If tensions ease, we may see a return to inflows, but for now, caution is warranted.
