Spot Bitcoin ETFs See $81 Million Outflow, Ending Brief Positive Streak

As a seasoned researcher with a knack for deciphering financial trends, I find myself constantly intrigued by the ebb and flow of the cryptocurrency market. The dynamics between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are no exception.


BlackRock’s IBIT witnessed an inflow of approximately $2.68 million, underscoring its position as the undisputed leader and largest Bitcoin ETF by net assets, according to SosoValue’s data. Meanwhile, Franklin’s EZBC saw a return to positive territory with $3.42 million in incoming investments, marking its first gain since July 22.

Instead, the largest outflows were noticed particularly in Grayscale’s GBTC following a massive $56.87 million withdrawal. Fidelity’s FBTC came next with an outflow of $18.05 million. Moreover, significant losses were also noted for Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB, as well as Bitwise’s BITB, amounting to $6.77 million and $5.78 million respectively. The remaining six Bitcoin ETFs under consideration did not show any changes in their inflows or outflows.

As someone who has closely followed the cryptocurrency market for several years now, I find it fascinating to observe the dynamic nature of Bitcoin ETF trading volumes. Despite the overall negative trend in these funds, it’s encouraging to see that the total daily trading volume across all spot Bitcoin ETFs reached a substantial $1.3 billion on Wednesday, marking a notable increase from the previous day’s $1.18 billion. Although there have been significant outflows from these funds, it appears that trading activities are not slowing down but rather accelerating, which is an interesting development to note in this volatile market. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of traders in the face of market fluctuations.

Ethereum ETFs Continue Positive Momentum

On the opposite side, Ethereum ETFs have consistently attracted investments. In fact, they received a significant $10.77 million on Wednesday, marking the third day in a row with net inflows. This indicates that investors are still very much intrigued by Ethereum.

On the contrary, while other Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw inflows on Wednesday, Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) was an exception, recording a net outflow of $16.95 million. This unique occurrence made ETHE the only Ethereum ETF to experience negative flow that day. Interestingly, Grayscale’s smaller Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), ranked second in terms of net assets among spot ether ETFs, recorded moderate inflows of $2.26 million, having seen no change in the previous two days.

In terms of Ethereum ETF investments, BlackRock’s ETHA saw the largest inflow with approximately $16.13 million, followed by Fidelity’s FETH with around $6.65 million. Bitwise’s ETHW managed a more modest $2.67 million. This is significantly different from Bitcoin ETF trading activity on the same day. The total Ethereum ETF trading volume decreased from $190.76 million on Tuesday to $155.91 million on the subsequent day.

According to the most recent figures from Coinspeaker, Bitcoin’s price stood at $58,105, representing a decrease of 4.64% over the past day. On the other hand, Ether saw a drop of 1.74%, ending the day at $2,662.

Essentially, it seems that the differences between the trends in Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum ETFs are indicative of a time when the market is readjusting itself and investors are changing their focus.
