Bitcoin ETFs shed $167M after strongest three-week inflow run of 2026

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $120.2 million in net redemptions on Wednesday, leaving the category with $166.8 million of withdrawals over the first two sessions of the holiday-shortened week, according to data from Farside Investors. ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) was the largest single-day seller, posting about $78 million of outflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) also registered notable Wednesday withdrawals of $27.2 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) was the sole Bitcoin fund to see fresh money, adding roughly $4.5 million on the day. Tuesday had already produced $46.6 million of net outflows, marking the first consecutive outflow days for the category since a three-day run ended on Aug. 14. Across the two sessions, GBTC’s net redemptions totaled about $92.7 million, while ARKB and IBIT lost around $69.9 million and $8.8 million respectively. Those two days erased roughly 4.4% of the $3.8 billion the spot Bitcoin funds accumulated in what had been their strongest three-week inflow stretch of 2026. Since launch, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted about $55 billion in cumulative net inflows, and their combined flows for 2026 stand at roughly $1.07 billion in net outflows per Farside. Elsewhere in spot crypto ETFs, Ether funds reversed a Tuesday withdrawal and drew $34.7 million on Wednesday, leaving the category with $10.4 million of net inflows for the week. BlackRock’s ETHB led Ether flows with $22.9 million, followed by ETHA at $9.7 million and 21Shares’ TETH with $2.1 million. Spot Solana ETFs also flipped to inflows, adding $11.2 million on Wednesday (all to Bitwise’s BSOL) and producing a two-session net inflow of about $10.5 million. By contrast, Hyperliquid ETFs recorded a second consecutive session of outflows, losing $5.3 million on Wednesday after $13 million of withdrawals the prior day. Cryptocurrency prices were modestly lower compared with the period when the three-week inflow figures were reported: Bitcoin traded near $78,000 on Thursday, down from about $79,700, while Ether was around $2,470 and Solana near $101, per CoinGecko.
