BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF registers second-ever outflow of $13.5M
BlackRock’s Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) has recorded its second-ever outflow day since it launched in January.
The iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF ( IBIT ) recorded a $13.5 million net outflow on Aug. 29, its second since it saw a $36.9 million net outflow on May 1 — which was also the worst joint outflow day on record for the Bitcoin ( BTC ) ETFs at $563.7 million, per Farside Investors data .
In total, the 11 United States-based Bitcoin ( BTC ) ETFs saw joint net outflows totaling $71.8 million on Aug. 29.
BlackRock’s fund was third behind the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with its $31.1 million net outflows, the largest recorded for the day. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) took the second spot with outflows of $22.7 million.

Cathie Wood’s ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF was the only one that saw net inflows on Aug. 29 with $5.3 million flowing into the fund.
The latest Bitcoin ETF outflows come amid a broader downturn in Bitcoin’s price, which has shed roughly 3.43% in the last seven days to trade at $58,751, according to CoinMarketCap.
Meanwhile, US-based spot Ether ( ETH ) ETFs have also seen minor joint outflows of $1.7 million on Aug. 29 with many funds seeing zero flows.

The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) was the only ETF to register a net inflow of $3.6 million — not enough to stave off the $5.3 million in net outflows from its higher-fee sister trust, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).
Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust has seen net outflows nearly every day since its July launch, racking up $2.56 billion in total outflows.
The price of ETH has also been experiencing a downturn, dropping 5.64% in the last seven days to $2,517.06, per CoinMarketCap.
