Opening
Spot Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) had a net outflow of $282.6 million on Thursday, part of a three‑day total of $449 million. An ETF is a fund that trades on an exchange like a stock, giving investors exposure to the underlying asset.
Key numbers
- Three‑day net outflows: $449 million.
- Thursday’s Bitcoin ETF outflow: $282.6 million.
- Largest single‑day outflow since July 13 ($424.7 million).
- Total assets across all spot Bitcoin ETFs: $97.5 billion.
- Weekly net inflows across crypto ETFs: $55.17 billion.
Bitcoin ETF outflows
The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) accounted for $164 million of Thursday’s outflows, the biggest share. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) contributed $36 million and Fidelity’s FBTC added $33.6 million.
Other crypto ETFs
Spot Ether (ETH) ETFs saw $29.8 million in net outflows on Thursday, wiping out most of Wednesday’s $34.8 million inflow. Spot Solana (SOL) ETFs recorded a $483,000 outflow after a $11.7 million inflow the day before.
Market context
The outflows reverse part of the $3.8 billion net inflows recorded during the funds’ strongest three‑week stretch of 2026. Despite the recent withdrawals, the overall market still holds $55.17 billion in net inflows for the week.
Why it matters
Large outflows from Bitcoin ETFs indicate that investors are pulling money out of these funds, which can affect the demand for Bitcoin exposure on regulated exchanges.
