The $79 million net outflow on Tuesday reduced the cumulative net inflows of the 12 ETFs to $21.15 billion.
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a significant shift back to negative daily flows on Tuesday, marking the end of a seven-day streak of net inflows. The reversal comes after seven consecutive trading days where investors poured significant funds into these financial instruments.
According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs reported total net outflows of $79.09 million on Tuesday. The outflows were primarily driven by Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB, which saw a combined $134.74 million leaving the funds. This sudden withdrawal contrasts sharply with the previous week’s consistent inflows.

Despite the overall negative flow, not all ETFs experienced outflows. BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by net assets, recorded $42.98 million in net inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC also saw positive movement, with $8.85 million in inflows, while VanEck’s HODL added $3.82 million. The remaining eight funds, including Grayscale’s GBTC, reported no significant changes for the day.
ETFs’ Cumulative Net Inflows Hit $21.15B
The $79 million net outflow on Tuesday reduced the cumulative net inflows of the 12 ETFs to $21.15 billion. Additionally, these ETFs’ total daily trading volume decreased to $1.4 billion from $1.76 billion the previous day. This downturn follows a period where spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $2.67 billion during their seven-day inflow streak, a level comparable to their peak inflows in March.
BlackRock’s IBIT was a major contributor to the inflows during the streak, drawing in approximately $1.5 billion. This influx coincided with Bitcoin’s price rally, which saw the cryptocurrency surpass $69,300 on Monday. The close relationship between ETF inflows and Bitcoin’s market performance shows the influence of these financial products on crypto markets.
Meanwhile, spot Ether ETFs in the US reported net inflows of $11.94 million on Tuesday, entirely driven by BlackRock’s ETHA. The other eight Ether funds showed no significant activity, maintaining a steady state amidst the fluctuating Bitcoin market.
The total trading volume for spot Ether ETFs amounted to $118.4 million, down from $163.18 million on Monday. Since their inception, these funds have experienced cumulative net outflows of $488.85 million.
