Bitcoin (BTC) Spot ETFs See Largest Single-Day Outflow Since May 1, Data Shows

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs witnessed a significant exodus of funds, with $287.8 million withdrawn across the listed ETFs yesterday.

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a substantial outflow of funds on Thursday, with $287.8 million being withdrawn across the listed ETFs, according to Farside Investors data. This marks the largest single-day outflow since May 1.

However, not all ETFs experienced withdrawals, with BlackRock's ETF being the only one to report zero outflows, according to Arkham data.

Fidelity's ETF led the withdrawals, selling $162 million worth of Bitcoin. Grayscale followed with $50 million in outflows, while Ark and Bitwise reported $34 million and $25 million, respectively.

These ETFs still collectively manage around $50 billion in assets, despite the significant outflows.

Bitcoin saw a remarkable rise in price earlier this year due to the hype and interest surrounding these ETFs, starting 2024 at around $44,000 and reaching an all-time high of $73,770 on March 14. However, the price has since stagnated, hovering below its peak in the $55,000 to $65,000 range. It has been 174 days since Bitcoin hit its all-time high, according to Clark Moody Dashboard.

Despite the recent outflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs have generally maintained strong inflows, with only one month of outflows in the past eight months. This indicates ongoing investor interest in Bitcoin, even as its price stabilizes below its all-time high.
