Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a net outflow of $131.35 million on Monday, bringing an end to a 12-day streak that had drawn in $6.6 billion in inflows.
ARK Invest’s ARKB recorded the largest single-day outflow at $77.46 million, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC with $36.75 million and Fidelity’s FBTC with $12.75 million, according to data from SoSoValue.
Bitwise’s BITB and VanEck’s HODL also saw modest outflows of $1.91 million and $2.48 million, respectively. BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by net assets at $86.16 billion, reported no inflows or outflows.
Despite the pullback, cumulative net inflows remain strong at $54.62 billion, while total net assets across all spot Bitcoin ETFs stand at $151.60 billion — representing 6.52% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
Investors Cash In Near Record Highs
The $131 million in outflows came as investors and institutions took profits and adjusted their portfolios to manage risk, according to Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research.
“The recent ETF outflows reflect profit-taking near the highs and strategic institutional rebalancing to secure gains,” Liu said.
He emphasized that the pullback was a typical correction after a strong rally, not an indication of fear among major investors. “This isn’t panic selling — it’s smart positioning, a natural breather following a significant upward move,” Liu explained.
The sudden outflow comes on the heels of record-breaking inflows earlier in July, with July 10 and 11 bringing in $1.18 billion and $1.03 billion, respectively — marking the first time Bitcoin ETFs saw billion-dollar inflows on back-to-back days.
Ether ETFs Continue Their Winning Streak
Spot Ether ETFs extended their strong inflow streak on Monday, adding $296.59 million in net inflows. This brings total cumulative net inflows to $7.78 billion, reflecting growing investor interest in the asset.
The current streak, now in its 12th straight day, includes a record-setting Wednesday, when Ethereum ETFs saw a $726.74 million daily inflow — the highest since their launch. That momentum continued on Thursday with an additional $602.02 million, underscoring the rising demand for Ether-based products.
