Spot Bitcoin ETF Net Outflows Streak Hits Three Days, Totaling $361.2m
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds experienced a third consecutive day of outflows on Oct. 3, pushing the total withdrawals over the period to $361.2 million.
According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $54.13 million on Thursday, Oct. 3, following the previous day’s $91.76 million withdrawal.
ARK 21Shares’ ARKB fund led the pack with $57.97 million in outflows, marking its fourth consecutive day of declines, with $212.1 million exiting the fund this week alone. Fidelity’s FBTC trailed closely with $37.21 million in outflows, despite experiencing a day of positive inflows earlier in the week.
BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by total net assets, bucked the trend by logging $35.96 million in inflows, bringing its total since launch to an impressive $21.5 billion.
Bitwise’s BITB and Invesco’s BTCO also recorded modest inflows of $2.65 million and $2.44 million, respectively. The remaining spot Bitcoin ETFs remained neutral on the day.
Total trading volume across the 12 Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant decline, dropping to $1.13 billion on October 3 from the prior day’s levels. Despite the recent outflows, these funds have collectively attracted a net inflow of $18.47 billion since their inception. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading sideways at $61,213 at the time of reporting.
The trend extended to U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, which posted net daily outflows of $3.2 million. Grayscale’s ETHE led the outflows, with $14.69 million exiting the fund, followed by $587,090 in outflows from Fidelity’s FETH.
However, BlackRock’s Ethereum Trust ETHA counterbalanced some of the losses, registering $12.08 million in net inflows. The six remaining spot Ether ETFs remained static for the day.
Ether ETF trading volumes also fell sharply, with the nine funds recording $115.66 million in volume on Oct. 3, down from $197.82 million the day prior. Since their July launch, these ETFs have accumulated net outflows of $561.05 million. Ethereum (ETH) was trading at $2,381 at press time.
