Bitcoin ETFs see biggest outflow in months as bond yields and oil pressure crypto lower

The session's main driver was a macro risk-off shift: rising US Treasury yields and stronger oil prices pulled capital away from risk assets broadly, and crypto felt it. Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest single-day outflows in months — institutional fund redemptions amplified the selling pressure beyond what spot market activity alone would explain. BTC fell 1.49% to $82,271 and ETH dropped 1.51% to $2,528.62, but the sharper moves were in mid-cap assets. Solana slid 3.87% to $111.98 and XRP fell 3.45% to $1.39, both more exposed to risk appetite swings than the large-cap pair. Zcash was the hardest hit in the top 15, dropping 8.63% to $1,206.02, though no specific news catalyst was identified for that move — it appears to reflect thin liquidity amplifying the broader selloff. Hyperliquid fell 4.46%. The prior session's $547M liquidation event left the market in a fragile state heading into today, and the macro backdrop provided no relief. TRON and Monero were the only top-15 non-stablecoin assets to hold flat, each moving less than 0.2%. The Fear & Greed index sits at 64 — still in greed territory, but down from recent highs, consistent with a market that is cautious but not panicking.
