Bitcoin ETF Inflows Halted by $131M Outflow Amid Record Run
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a net outflow of $131.35 million on Monday, marking the conclusion of a 12-day streak that accumulated $6.6 billion in inflows.
Fund-Specific Flows
The largest single-day outflow occurred in ARK Invest’s ARKB ($77.46 million), followed by Grayscale’s GBTC ($36.75 million), and Fidelity’s FBTC ($12.75 million), according to data from SoSoValue.
Bitwise’s BITB and VanEck’s HODL also recorded moderate losses of $1.91 million and $2.48 million respectively. Notably, BlackRock’s IBIT, largest among spot BTC ETFs by net assets ($86.16 billion), saw neither inflows nor outflows.
Context and Market Position
Cumulative net inflows since inception remain robust at $54.62 billion, with total net assets across all spot BTC ETFs now standing at $151.60 billion (6.52% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization).
Investor Activity Near ATHs
Analysis suggests Monday’s outflows represent profit-taking near all-time high prices and institutional rebalancing measures, according to Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research.
“It’s not panic but positioning — a natural pause after a strong upward run,” Liu stated, adding that the outflows reflected “profit-taking near the highs.”
Despite Monday’s reversal, July remains historic, seeing two consecutive days with billion-dollar inflows ($1.18B on July 10th and $1.03B on July 11th).
Ethereum ETFs Continue Dominant Trend
In contrast, spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs continued their inflow trajectory, recording $296.59 million in net inflows on Monday. This pushed cumulative inflows to $7.78 billion, extending a 12-day winning streak.
The current run includes a record $726.74 million daily inflow (the largest since Ethereum ETF inception) on Wednesday and a subsequent $602.02 million inflow.
