The winning streak for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs came to a sudden halt on Thursday, as investors withdrew over $358 million — the sharpest daily outflow since March.
After ten consecutive days of net inflows, momentum reversed sharply, putting an end to the bullish run that had brought in more than $4 billion.
Most funds saw red. Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF suffered the heaviest blow, followed by significant withdrawals from Grayscale, Ark/21Shares, and Bitwise. Even smaller players like VanEck and Franklin Templeton weren’t spared.
Yet amid the sell-off, BlackRock’s IBIT continued to attract capital. It was the lone ETF in the group to post net inflows, adding $125 million while others bled. That alone underscores the growing investor preference for BlackRock’s product.
Total ETF trading surged past $5.3 billion for the day, reflecting heightened market activity despite the outflows. The combined net inflows across all Bitcoin ETFs dropped slightly to just under $45 billion.
Bitcoin itself edged lower, dipping to around $106,200, while Ether slid more sharply to $2,639.
Interestingly, spot Ethereum ETFs moved in the opposite direction — extending their own winning streak to nine days with nearly $92 million in fresh capital coming in.
