That\u2019s nearly eight times more than October\u2019s losses and the worst monthly tally in its short history. <\/p>\n<p>Even as Bitcoin has steadied in recent days, the withdrawals continue to flow, suggesting sentiment has turned decisively risk-off.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin itself isn\u2019t helping. At around $88,900, it\u2019s also nursing an 8.5% year-to-date loss \u2014 a sharp contrast to the S&amp;P 500\u2019s 16% rally in 2025. <\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-12-05\/bitcoin-is-breaking-from-stock-rally-for-first-time-in-a-decade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bloomberg data<\/a>, it\u2019s the first time since 2014 that U.S. stocks have surged while Bitcoin has slumped.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump boom? More like a whiff<\/h2>\n<p>The broader crypto market has shed more than $1 trillion in value since a harsh liquidation wave in early October triggered a prolonged rout. Retail traders, accustomed to the dizzying highs of early 2024, have proven less able to stomach the drop. <\/p>\n<p>Institutions <em>can<\/em> hold through the pain \u2014 but the outflows suggest many are choosing not to.<\/p>\n<p>And for those clinging to the political narrative? The long-promised \u201cTrump boom\u201d for digital assets hasn\u2019t materialized. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, Bitcoin briefly broke $126,000 earlier this year, but the collapse that followed has left the industry reconsidering its assumptions about regulatory relief and institutional adoption.<\/p>\n<p>SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci had this to say on his podcast, \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Nl6rdoqWLbY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Rest Is Politics<\/a>\u201c:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Trump being Trump, he launches two meme coins on the eve of the election. One for him and one for Melania, right? So meme coins again just are like gambling tokens. They have very little value. These meme coins go up in value. He takes [$500] or $600 million out for himself and his family. And these meme coins over the last seven or eight months have crashed in value\u2026 It\u2019s just going to be a huge problem for the industry because if you have a president that\u2019s running a self-interested memecoin, which is a worthless token, he\u2019s susceptible to grift and graft. He\u2019s susceptible to people buying the token and then trying to influence him. And lo and behold, Trump says, \u201cYeah, go buy my token or make a $5 million donation to me and I\u2019ll meet you crypto people at my Virginia Country Club.\u201d And so what this did actually is it soured the industry. It had the opposite effect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>More surprisingly, Bitcoin\u2019s once-reliable correlation with risk assets has evaporated. While AI stocks rocket higher and gold flirts with all-time highs, Bitcoin is marching to its own, decidedly downbeat rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>The question now is whether the BlackRock ETF\u2019s outflows are just a rough patch \u2014 or a harbinger of a tougher 2026.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust has had better months \u2014 in fact, every other month has been better.
