US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a seven-session inflow streak on Thursday, recording their first daily net outflows since July 13.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $225.2 million in net outflows on Thursday, according to data from SoSoValue. Over the preceding seven trading sessions, the funds had attracted nearly $1 billion in cumulative net inflows. Despite Thursday's outflows, the funds still recorded approximately $274 million in net inflows for the week as of Thursday's close.
The outflows coincided with a broader market pullback. Bitcoin briefly slipped below $65,000 after US equities declined amid renewed geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. At the time of publication, Bitcoin traded at $65,403, having fallen to an intraday low of $64,600, according to CoinGecko.
Market sentiment also weakened. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped 3 points to 28, remaining in "fear" territory on Friday, according to Alternative.me.
Meanwhile, US-listed spot Ether ETFs extended their own inflow streak to five consecutive sessions, attracting $26.3 million in net inflows on Thursday, according to SoSoValue. The divergence between Bitcoin ETF outflows and continued Ether ETF inflows marks a notable shift, as Bitcoin ETFs have consistently attracted the lion's share of capital since both products launched.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in the United States in January 2024 following regulatory approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission, providing institutional and retail investors with direct exposure to Bitcoin without holding the underlying asset. Since launch, the funds have collectively drawn tens of billions in net inflows, making ETF flow data a closely watched barometer of institutional demand. Spot Ether ETFs received similar approval later that year.
