In the Coming Week: Bitcoin ETF Outflows Far Exceed Ether by 128-to-1 Margin

WARSAW, August 16, 2026, 10:21 CEST — Digital asset markets continue to trade as usual, while U.S. stock exchanges are shut over the weekend.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $385.2 million over the past week, while Ether funds recorded losses of just $3.0 million. The 128-to-1 difference underscores Monday’s fund movement as a key indicator for the crypto market.

Bitcoin hovered around $63,011 on Sunday, staying close to a crucial support area for the week. Ether remained steady at about $1,879. Both cryptocurrencies showed little reaction to weaker U.S. inflation indicators.

The distribution of flows is significant. It indicates that institutional selling mainly affected Bitcoin products, rather than being evenly distributed throughout the crypto market. Four out of five Bitcoin ETF sessions saw outflows, while demand for Ether was nearly flat.

The worldwide cryptocurrency market reached a value of $2.225 trillion. Bitcoin accounted for 56.8% of the market share, and Ether represented 10.2%. Trading ranges over the weekend remained tight.

The figures are based on initial fund data compiled daily. Since inception, total Bitcoin ETF inflows are $51.86 billion. Assets in Ether products reach $11.46 billion, counting seed asset conversions.
