Bitcoin ETFs See $167M Outflows After Record Inflow Streak

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which trade on stock markets like individual shares, recorded $120.2 million in net outflows on Wednesday. This brought the total withdrawals for the first two sessions of the holiday-shortened week to $166.8 million. The outflows occurred after the funds had their strongest three-week inflow run of 2026, attracting $3.8 billion.

Key Details from the Data

• The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) led Wednesday’s outflows with $78 million.
• Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) had $27.2 million in outflows.
• BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw $19.5 million in outflows.
• Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) was the only fund with inflows, adding $4.5 million.
• Ether ETFs attracted $34.7 million on Wednesday, following outflows on Tuesday.
• Solana ETFs recorded $11.2 million in inflows on Wednesday, reversing previous outflows.
• Hyperliquid ETFs had net outflows for a second session, losing $5.3 million on Wednesday.

Data from Farside Investors

The flow data is sourced from Farside Investors. According to their records, the two-day pullback erased about 4.4% of the $3.8 billion attracted during the strong three-week period. Since their launch, Bitcoin ETFs have recorded about $55 billion in cumulative net inflows, but 2026 net flows stand at about $1.07 billion in outflows.

Current Crypto Prices

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin traded near $78,000, down from about $79,700 when the inflow figures were reported. Ether was around $2,470, and Solana hovered near $101, according to CoinGecko.

Confirmed Facts

The outflow amounts, fund-specific performance, and price data are confirmed by Farside Investors and CoinGecko. The events took place on September 9 and 10, 2026, during a holiday-shortened week.

Why the Outflows Matter

The outflows mark a shift after a period of strong investment. Erasing 4.4% of recent inflows suggests a pause or profit-taking, but the cumulative $55 billion in inflows since launch indicates ongoing interest in Bitcoin ETFs.
