Bitcoin spot ETF flows turned negative this week—$782 million in outflows during the Christmas period. But here's the thing: Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu points out this wasn't necessarily a bearish signal. Holiday rebalancing and reduced market liquidity likely played bigger roles than any drop in institutional interest. Think about it—year-end portfolio adjustments are pretty standard, especially when trading volume thins out across the board. The data suggests institutions still have appetite; they're just being tactical about timing and liquidity conditions.

Escape for Christmas with 782M? Stay calm, this is just normal portfolio adjustment.

Cashing out during the Christmas holiday is quite normal, don't panic. Rebalancing at the end of the year is something institutions do every year, which doesn't necessarily mean they are truly bearish.

A negative net flow during the holiday is quite normal. It's not like institutions are fleeing; it's just year-end rebalancing plus sparse liquidity. Vincent Liu's judgment still makes sense; don't get emo just by looking at the numbers.

$7.82 million outflow? Haha, that's just the institutions' "tactical" retreat. A nicer way to say it is rebalancing; a less nice way is a prelude to running away.

It's just holiday liquidity tightening; institutions aren't fools. Rebalancing at the end of the year is very normal.
