Bitcoin ETFs Lose $527M as Outflow Streak Reaches Eight Weeks

By Peter Mwenda
  • Bitcoin ETFs posted $527M in net outflows, extending the sector’s longest losing streak to eight weeks.
  • BlackRock’s IBIT remained under pressure, recording an 11-session outflow streak despite broader market recovery.
  • XRP, Solana, and HYPE ETFs attracted fresh inflows, showing selective institutional crypto demand.

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded another week of significant investor withdrawals, extending their longest outflow streak since launch. Although the final trading session delivered fresh inflows, heavy redemptions earlier in the week pushed total net outflows to $527 million, highlighting continued caution among institutional investors.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Historic Weekly Outflow Streak

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $527 million between June 29 and July 2. The result marked the eighth consecutive week of investor withdrawals. The streak is now the longest since the products entered the U.S. market.

The latest figures reflected continued selling despite renewed buying activity during the final trading session. Investors remained cautious as market uncertainty weighed on demand for Bitcoin investment products.

On July 2, spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $221.7 million in net inflows. The positive session ended a 10-day run of daily outflows. However, it failed to offset the heavy withdrawals recorded earlier during the shortened trading week.

Fidelity’s FBTC led the daily recovery after attracting nearly $166 million in fresh capital. Meanwhile, ARK 21Shares’ ARKB added almost $91.8 million, supporting the broader rebound.

BlackRock’s IBIT remained under pressure throughout the period. The fund continued recording daily outflows, extending its individual losing streak to 11 consecutive trading sessions.

IBIT reportedly lost about $2.2 billion during that period. As the largest Bitcoin ETF by assets, its continued withdrawals significantly influenced overall market flows.

Market participants continue monitoring ETF activity because institutional flows often reflect broader investor sentiment. Persistent outflows may indicate reduced appetite for Bitcoin exposure despite recent price stabilization.

Altcoin ETFs Attract Selective Investor Interest

While Bitcoin funds struggled, several alternative cryptocurrency ETFs posted positive weekly results. The contrast suggested investors continued seeking opportunities outside the largest digital assets.

Spot Ethereum ETFs also finished the week with net outflows totaling $13.67 million. That result extended Ethereum’s own weekly withdrawal streak to eight consecutive weeks.

Even so, Ethereum funds posted positive daily inflows during the final two trading sessions. BlackRock’s ETHA contributed to the recovery after recording nearly $29.7 million in inflows on July 2.

Spot Solana ETFs recorded approximately $5.75 million in weekly net inflows. XRP-linked ETFs attracted about $17.19 million, while HYPE ETFs added roughly $4.32 million during the same period.

Although those inflows remained relatively small, they demonstrated continued investor interest in selected crypto investment products. Capital rotated toward specific digital assets instead of leaving the broader ETF market entirely.

Bitcoin recovered from earlier weekly lows before the period ended. Nevertheless, ETF flow data suggests institutional investors remain cautious while evaluating macroeconomic conditions and cryptocurrency market risks.
