Bitcoin ETFs See Net Outflows

After 12 days of net inflows, the US BTC ETFs saw total outflows of $78 million on Tuesday as the going party comes to an end.  Except for BlackRock’s IBIT, all other ETFs have either registered zero inflows or net outflows. IBIT’s total inflows on Tuesday stood at $71.9 million, a sharp drop from $526 million on the previous day.

Fidelity’s FBTC led with the highest outflows of more than $70 million on Tuesday. As per data from Farside Investors, Ark Invest’s ARKB also registered $50 million in net outflows while Grayscale’s GBTC saw $27 million in net outflows. The rest of the ETFs saw zero inflows yesterday.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been in the limelight recently as they have managed to make the most of the Bitcoin dip opportunity in early July. While the Mt. Gox distribution and German government sell-off brought selling pressure to BTC, the ETFs have managed to deliver robust performance.

Some market analysts believe that yesterday’s outflows into Bitcoin ETFs came as the money flowed partially into the spot Ethereum ETFs registering a $107 million inflow on debut.
