Thursday’s outflow coincided with Bitcoin’s fall below the key $100,000 support level and heightened risk aversion on Wall Street. Ether ETFs also registered an outflow of $259.72 million, the highest since Oct. 13.

As of writing, bitcoin traded near $97,500, down over 5% in 24 hours and 11% on a month-to-date basis, according to data source CoinDesk.
