Strong Outflows from Bitcoin and Altcoin ETFs: What’s the Latest?

Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the US faced strong outflow pressure this week. A total net outflow of approximately $1.26 billion was recorded from spot Bitcoin ETFs, marking the largest weekly outflow since the end of January. The funds also reported net outflows for the sixth consecutive trading day.

According to the data, approximately $649 million flowed out of spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday alone. While the pace of outflows slowed somewhat later in the week, capital outflows from the funds continued overall. Market analysts noted that rising US Treasury yields, a strengthening dollar index, and geopolitical tensions were contributing factors in investors moving away from risky assets.

A similar picture emerged in spot Ethereum ETFs. Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows for 10 consecutive trading days, the longest outflow streak since March 2025. The total weekly outflow was reported to be approximately $216 million.

On the other hand, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), managed by BlackRock, continues to manage approximately $61.1 billion in assets. However, it has been stated that the fund’s current size has been negatively affected by recent market fluctuations, despite cumulative inflows of approximately $3.7 billion recorded since its launch.

As of the close of the ETF trading day, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $77,500, while Ethereum continued to move in a narrow range around $2,130.

Despite short-term sharp outflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs have managed to attract a total net inflow of approximately $57.1 billion since their launch. The total assets under management for these funds stand at approximately $98.9 billion.
