Bitcoin hits 2026 low as over $1B liquidated in 24 hours and US spot ETFs see $469M outflow

Bitcoin fell to its lowest level of 2026 after more than $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours. US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $469 million of net outflows in a day, extending seven straight weeks of withdrawals, while expectations of higher US rates and recent selling by large holders added pressure as forced liquidations accelerated declines.
