Bitcoin ETFs saw significant outflows on Thursday, totaling $143.3 million, based on data from Farside Investors.
The only bright spot among the various funds was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which attracted $45.75 million in inflows.
However, this inflow couldn’t offset the larger losses from other Bitcoin ETFs. Fidelity’s Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) faced the largest withdrawals, with over $75 million leaving the fund.
Additionally, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) saw substantial outflows, losing more than $60 million.
