Bitcoin ETFs See $201.9M Outflows as Nine-Day Inflow Streak Ends

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $201.9 million in net outflows on Aug. 28, according to data from SoSoValue, ending a nine-session streak of net inflows. The reversal signals a shift in investor sentiment after weeks of sustained accumulation.

Fund-by-Fund Breakdown

The outflows were led by ARK Invest’s ARKB, which saw $114.9 million leave the fund, followed by Bitwise’s BITB with $49.7 million in outflows. BlackRock’s IBIT, typically the largest spot Bitcoin ETF, also reported net outflows of $33.4 million. VanEck’s HODL recorded $13.2 million in outflows.

Notably, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT bucked the trend, posting net inflows of $9.3 million. The mixed results highlight varying investor behavior across different fund providers, with some managers still seeing demand even as the broader market pulls back.

Context and Market Implications

The outflows come after a period of sustained inflows that had pushed cumulative net flows into positive territory for the year. The nine-day inflow streak had been seen as a sign of renewed institutional interest, but the Aug. 28 reversal suggests that some investors are taking profits or rebalancing portfolios amid broader market uncertainty.
