Bitcoin faces mixed signals after $1.9 billion in crypto fund outflows, with late-week inflows hinting at renewed optimism. Despite heavy withdrawals from Bitcoin and Solana funds, XRP’s resilience and Asia’s growing IPO momentum, led by Bitkub’s Hong Kong listing plans, signal improving regional sentiment.
As banks like JPMorgan tighten controls, Bitcoin’s self-custodial appeal grows, strengthening its long-term narrative amid short-term volatility.
$1.9B Outflows Hit Crypto Funds, But Late-Week Inflows Offer Hope
According to CoinShares, cryptocurrency investment funds had another difficult week, with $1.94 billion in withdrawals, bringing the total over the last four weeks to $4.9 billion. After the tariff-driven slump in March and the decline in February 2018, this represents the third-largest outflow streak in the history of cryptocurrency ETP.
There was one little bright spot: the last few days of last week saw $258 million in inflows, suggesting early signs of an improving mood following seven days in a row of selling.
The only significant asset to show strength was XRP funds, which recorded $89.3 million in inflows despite XRP’s 6.9% price decline.
On the other hand, $156 million was taken from Solana’s funds, and $1.27 billion was taken from Bitcoin’s funds. The subsequent largest outflow was $589 million for ether. In the meantime, Nansen’s “smart money” traders placed optimistic short-term bets on XRP while holding $325 million in bearish Bitcoin positions.
The late-week inflows suggest that mood may gradually stabilize, but the significant withdrawals indicate short-term bearish pressure on BTC. After the current sell-off, Bitcoin might regain steam if inflows persist.
Bitkub Plans Hong Kong IPO as Thai Markets Hit 5-Year Lows
According to Bloomberg, Bitkub, Thailand’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is considering an IPO in Hong Kong rather than Thailand due to the extreme weakness of the local stock market. Through the planned IPO the company hopes to raise $200 million. Bitkub was established in 2018 and now manages a daily trade volume of about $66 million.
The exchange’s initial intentions to go public in Thailand in 2025 have faltered. Due to trade concerns and political problems with Cambodia, Thailand’s stock market has suffered this year, dropping 10% and hitting a five-year low. Over $3 billion in Thai stocks has already been sold by foreign investors in 2025.
Hong Kong, meanwhile, is seeing a surge in initial public offerings. In the first ten months of 2025, the city raised approximately $28 billion through initial public offerings (IPOs), a 209% increase over the previous year. Major cryptocurrency companies like HashKey Group and Bitcoin Depot are also drawn to its rapidly expanding digital asset sector.
Hong Kong’s listing on the Central Asian cryptocurrency exchange increases confidence in the region. This promotes a positive long-term attitude for Bitcoin and boosts Asia’s role in its adoption.
JPMorgan Closes Strike CEO’s Accounts, Reviving Crypto Debanking Concerns
In September, Jack Mallers, CEO of the Bitcoin payments app Strike, had his bank accounts abruptly frozen by JPMorgan Chase, which rekindled concerns about the “debanking” era of cryptocurrency. Mallers claimed the bank told him they were “not allowed to” reveal the cause of the closure, and refused to explain. According to a letter from JPMorgan, “concerning activity” was found during standard Bank Secrecy Act surveillance. Mallers’ banking is now located at Strike.
The event reminds us of past times when U.S. banks denied services to cryptocurrency firms. Regulators have frequently pressured banks to stay away from high-risk sectors, such as cryptocurrency, under both the Obama and Biden administrations. President Donald Trump has yet to take action to buck this tendency.
He issued an executive order in August that required authorities to investigate and penalize banks that unfairly refuse services to prevent “politicized debanking.” According to Trump officials, these actions targeted Trump’s family and cryptocurrency companies.
The event supports Bitcoin’s central narrative: it is censorship-resistant and self-custodial. The long-term outlook may be bolstered by growing faith in Bitcoin as a new form of currency, as more crypto leaders face bank closures.
Bitcoin Price Forecast: Bulls Eye $94K Recovery as Channel Pressure Eases
Bitcoin is stabilizing after rebounding from the $86,800 Fibonacci support, with buyers defending key levels following weeks of heavy selling. The daily chart shows BTC trading inside a descending channel, with resistance at $94,000, a confluence of the 20-day EMA and the 0.236 Fibonacci level.

Momentum is improving as the RSI recovers from oversold conditions near 30, showing early bullish divergence. A breakout above $90,800 could confirm a short-term reversal and open the path toward $94,000 and $97,000, which align with key retracement levels.
If this pattern evolves into a falling wedge, the next upside target sits near $107,000, marking a full recovery from November’s decline. Holding above $86,800 keeps the bullish setup intact, offering limited downside with strong rebound potential.
A close above $97,000 could reignite momentum toward the $100,000 mark, signaling renewed optimism heading into December’s trading cycle.
