Market shocks: Bitcoin funds flow out, Ethereum investment rises against the trend
Last week, the U.S. financial market showed significant changes. Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net outflow of $462.7 million, a sudden withdrawal that ended three consecutive weeks of net inflows. In contrast, the spot Ethereum ETF saw an influx of funds, with a net investment of approximately US$196.9 million over the same period.
Bitcoin funds encounter continued redemption pressure
From Tuesday to Friday, Bitcoin funds experienced four consecutive trading days of capital outflows. Data from Farside Investors showed that $166.8 million left the fund at the beginning of the week affected by the shortened holidays, adding to selling pressure. Thursday became the most volatile day, with a net one-day outflow reaching $228.7 million, the largest one-day withdrawal since July. SoSoValue records showed a relatively small outflow of $13.2 million on Friday, but that allowed the negative trend to continue for four days.
Major institutions face significant capital flight
Among the many Bitcoin ETFs, the ARK21 Shares Bitcoin ETF suffered the largest net outflow of funds this week, with an amount of US$234.2 million. Closely followed by the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF, which withdrew $129.1 million. In addition, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund also reported outflows of $52.5 million and $50.7 million, respectively. Despite this, based on monthly data, the overall spot Bitcoin ETF remains positive, with monthly net inflows of approximately $307.3 million as of Friday.
Ethereum Funds Show Resilience: Refocus Investor Interest?
Yes, the spot Ethereum ETF ended the week with a net inflow of funds, reaching a cumulative total of US$196.9 million over four days. The market was volatile at the beginning of the week, recording a net outflow of US$24.3 million on Tuesday and turning into a net inflow of US$34.7 million on Wednesday. Another outflow of $29.9 million occurred on Thursday. However, there was a strong reversal on Friday, with Ethereum funds attracting huge net inflows of up to $216.4 million.
A net inflow of $216.4 million from the spot Ethereum ETF on Friday pushed the total weekly net inflow to $196.9 million. Among them, BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF was the main driving force for this influx, injecting US$148.8 million in a single day. The 21Shares core Ethereum ETF followed closely, recording a net inflow of $29.1 million.
