Well, it's not entirely their fault. But hear me out. When Wall Street money entered the Bitcoin picture, and I'm specifically referring to BTC ETFs that were approved and launched in January 2024, an epic run was brewing. We saw a rise in price from 42k back then to a new all-time high of 126k briefly in October 2025. These exchange-traded funds have changed the game a bit, as more traditional investors who perhaps wanted some crypto exposure were now free to join the game without "really getting into crypto" -- setting up a crypto wallet, identifying custody vs. self-custody, learning about private keys, etc. etc. It became simple: just buying an ETF in a brokerage account.

It's given us a new insight, in trying to figure out the price movement of Bitcoin and trying to speculate from said data. We can now view Total Bitcoin Spot ETF Net Inflow. Well, it's been around for over a year now but let's check at what's been happening lately, courtesy of CoinGlass:

Look at those totals: the far right column. Almost a billion dollars worth of outflows just yesterday alone! That kind of selling pressure is of course going to cause the price to go down. In the past 7 trading days, there has been a net outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs to the tune of $3.09 billion (ETFs only trade Monday-Friday during pre-market/regular trading hours/post-market).

So that's just one data point. If you add panic sellers to the equation, new crypto bros who have only seen their balance go up over the past year, all of the above equals this chart:

There you have it. Add to it the fact that many OG Bitcoiners have sold above 100k. What do you think? Is there another piece contributing to the excessive liquidation?
