- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $131.35 million in net outflows after a 12-day streak of $6.6 billion in inflows.
- ARK Invest’s ARKB led the outflows, while BlackRock’s IBIT recorded no activity.
- Ether ETFs gained $296.59 million as investor interest in Ethereum products continues to rise.
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a total net outflow of $131.35 million on Monday, breaking a 12-day inflow streak that previously brought in $6.6 billion. The withdrawal reflects a measured pause in investor appetite as Bitcoin hovers near all-time highs.
Profit-Taking Drives Institutional Pullback
The largest single-day outflow came from ARK Invest’s ARKB, which lost $77.46 million, according to data from SoSoValue. Grayscale’s GBTC followed with $36.75 million in outflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC recorded a $12.75 million pullback.
Smaller outflows were seen from Bitwise’s BITB at $1.91 million and VanEck’s HODL at $2.48 million. BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest Bitcoin ETF by net assets at $86.16 billion, registered no net movement for the day.
Despite the day’s retreat, cumulative net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs remain strong at $54.62 billion. Total net assets across all spot Bitcoin funds now stand at $151.60 billion, representing 6.52% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
According to Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu, the outflows represent strategic positioning rather than fear-based selling. “The recent ETF outflows reflect profit-taking near the highs and measured institutional rebalancing to lock in gains,” Liu stated. “It’s not panic but positioning, a natural pause after a strong upward run.”
Ether ETFs Continue Momentum With $296M Inflow
While Bitcoin ETFs experienced a pullback, spot Ether ETFs extended their winning streak. On Monday, Ether funds recorded $296.59 million in net inflows, marking the twelfth consecutive day of capital growth. Cumulative net inflows now total $7.78 billion.
The strong momentum follows historic activity last week, with Wednesday bringing in $726.74 million, the highest single-day inflow since Ether ETFs launched. Thursday followed closely with $602.02 million.
The rise in Ether ETF inflows suggests continued interest from institutional and retail investors, driven by increasing network activity and future scalability expectations.
The contrasting flows between Bitcoin and Ether ETFs highlight ongoing portfolio rebalancing and changing investor sentiment. As Bitcoin ETFs experience temporary pullbacks amid high price levels, Ether ETFs appear to be gaining favor, potentially as a diversification move.
The Bitcoin ETF market saw record inflows on July 10 and 11, with each day surpassing $1 billion. This makes the current outflow a notable but expected breather in an otherwise bullish month.
