This article provides an in-depth analysis of the real impact of capital outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs on issuers' revenue following the crypto liquidation wave in October–November 2025. Using institutions such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale as examples, it breaks down the reasons behind the sharp decline in assets under management and the 25–38% drop in ETF annualized fee income, while also exploring the differences among various issuers in terms of economies of scale, fee structures, and historical burdens. Through a systematic analysis of capital flows, fee ranges, and product structures, this article reveals how the crypto ETF business exposes cyclical vulnerabilities amid market headwinds and outlines potential directions for future product innovation by issuers.
