Despite a continuous four-day streak of net outflows from Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) totaling $93.85 million, the Bitcoin price has impressively climbed to reclaim the $66,000 mark. According to data from Farside Investors, Grayscale ETF GBTC experienced a significant outflow yesterday, with a single-day net outflow of $358 million, culminating in a historical net outflow of $13.63 billion for GBTC alone.
In stark contrast, the BlackRock Bitcoin spot ETF (IBIT) witnessed a considerable net inflow of $233 million yesterday, raising IBIT’s total net inflow to $13.32 billion. This is slightly below the average for BlackRock, which has seen $271.9 million in inflows since its launch on January 11.
Other ETFs have not fared as well in recent days. Fidelity’s FBTC, the second-largest ETF, has thus far achieved an average daily inflow of $141.5 million, but experienced a disappointing $2.5 million in inflows yesterday.
The third-largest, Ark Invest’s spot Bitcoin ETF, has seen average inflows of $40.9 million to date, with yesterday’s inflows at just $2.0 million. Bitwise’s BITB, ranking fourth, has accumulated $30.7 million on average, with a modest $12 million in inflows yesterday.
Across the board, all spot Bitcoin ETFs, including GBTC, have recorded an average of approximately $230 million in daily inflows since January 11.

Crypto analyst WhalePanda highlighted the trend, noting, “Yesterday’s ETF flows: Another negative day, that’s 4 in a row […] Honestly surprised by how big the outflows are from GBTC. Another $358.8 million and that makes a total of $1.83 billion in just 4 days.” WhalePanda also touched on Genesis’ role, suggesting the company’s “in-kind” sale of GBTC shares for BTC might explain the large outflows without corresponding market dumps.
Thomas Fahrer, founder of Apollo, offered a bullish perspective, “I know it is forbidden to post anything bullish on #Bitcoin ETFs right now, but I’m gonna do it anyway. GBTC selling is…
