Many advisors and investors remain concerned about how market and geopolitical uncertainty will affect their equity and fixed income strategies, but those aren't the only assets at risk. The crypto industry got nearly everything it wanted last year yet the selloff that began in the second half of 2025 continues.

US spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds recorded significantly wider outflows on Wednesday, underscoring continued institutional risk aversion as macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty weighed on digital asset markets. According to data from Farside Investors, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a combined daily net outflow of $708.7 million, marking the largest single-day redemption in roughly two months.

Bitcoin and most other major cryptocurrencies fell sharply overnight, in synch with equity futures and other financial market products.  The dollar price of bitcoin was down 2.15% over 24 hours to $92,989, having come close to $98K last week, but was largely flat over the past seven days.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Silver (SLV) have sharply diverged, setting up a contrarian long BTC, short SLV pair trade opportunity. SLV's recent 150–200% rally appears late-cycle, with realized volatility now exceeding BTC and risk/reward skewed negatively. BTC is gaining regulatory clarity and technical support, while SLV faces risks from margin hikes and substitution at high prices.
