U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds continued to experience net outflows, marking the fourth consecutive day of withdrawals on Tuesday. Data from SoSoValue shows that $338.4 million exited the 12 bitcoin ETFs that day, bringing the total net outflows over the four-day streak to $1.52 billion.
The outflows follow a robust 15-day streak of positive flows that ended on Dec. 18, during which $6.7 billion was added to spot bitcoin ETFs.
BlackRock’s IBIT led Tuesday’s losses, recording $188.7 million in outflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $83 million exiting the fund. Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB reported $75 million in net outflows. Conversely, Bitwise’s BITB was the only fund to post positive inflows, adding $8.5 million. Seven other funds reported no activity, while Franklin Templeton’s EZBC data remained unavailable.
The 12 bitcoin ETFs traded a combined $2.16 billion on Tuesday, with cumulative net inflows standing at $35.5 billion.
Spot ether ETFs, in contrast, reported $53.5 million in net inflows on Tuesday, led by BlackRock’s ETHA with $43.9 million. Bitwise’s ether fund added $6.2 million, and Fidelity’s FETH gained $3.45 million. Ether ETFs traded $262 million in total volume, with cumulative inflows reaching $2.51 billion.
Nate Geraci, ETF Store President, highlighted the sector’s rapid growth, noting its evolution into a $135 billion category despite a historically crypto-skeptical SEC.
