Bitcoin ETFs Suffer First Net Outflows in Four Weeks, Ethereum Sees Significant Inflows
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced their first net outflows in four weeks, losing over $460 million last week. This reversal follows three consecutive weeks of inflows.
The selloff occurred across all four trading sessions from Tuesday to Friday, with redemptions starting modestly after the Labor Day close and accelerating midweek. Thursday saw the largest single-day withdrawal at around $283 million, the largest daily drop since July 2026.
Product-level data show that a handful of large funds were affected, including ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), which accounted for the biggest weekly redemption at about $234 million. Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) followed with roughly $129 million in net withdrawals.
In contrast, Ethereum products saw significant inflows, finishing the week with nearly $200 million in net creations. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) supplied most of this buying, taking in about $149 million on Friday and finishing the week as the clear leader among Ether products.
