Bitcoin ETFs See Net Outflows as ARKB Led Losses Chart

As earlier stated, ARKB saw the highest outflows among Bitcoin ETFs, with about $102 million in losses. ARKB’s over $100 million outflows appear massive and could impact Bitcoin’s price actions. Per Farside data, between August 9 and 27, the highest ever recorded outflows before ARKB’s $102 million was $77 million.

The $77 million losses on August 9 happened on the Grayscale Bitcoin (GBTC) ETF, renowned for leading most outflows. Therefore, it underscores the uniqueness of the latest flow trend, which investors would want to envisage as a transient occurrence. In the Bitcoin ETFs losses chart, GBTC followed ARKB as a wide margin exited between both entities. GBTC witnessed $18.3 million in losses, while Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) followed closely with approximately $6.8 million in outflows.

Aside from the three ETFs that registered losses, every other Bitcoin ETF had zero activities. Meanwhile, Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF (BRRR) data was pending at the time of drafting. However, chances are high that it could also reflect zero flows, considering its consistent zero activities pattern. Notably, between August 9 and 22, BRRR displayed zero flows until August 23, when it witnessed $2.3 million in gains. Subsequently, it returned to its zero flow pattern, underscoring why another zero activity appears Imminent.

Overall, Bitcoin ETFs August 26 cumulative outflows were roughly $127.1 million. The total flow for BTC ETFs since it graced the crypto market remained positive at about $17.956 billion. Other relevant statistics revealed that the total traded value of Bitcoin ETFs was about $1.2 billion. The total net assets were roughly $57.08 billion, representing 4.67% of Bitcoin’s market cap.

Fidelity Ethereum ETF (FETH) topped the inflow charts with $3.9 million. Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) followed closely with $1.9 million in inflows.
