BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Faces Significant Outflows

The preliminary data revealed that prices of several major spot Bitcoin ETFs closed at significant discounts to their underlying assets.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF experienced approximately $36.6 million in outflows, as reported by HODL15 Capital. Meanwhile, other spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively recorded over $526.8 million in outflows.

Among the nine other Bitcoin ETFs, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) witnessed the largest outflow, totaling $191.1 million, followed by the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) with $167.4 million.

This downturn marks the largest single outflow day for US spot Bitcoin ETFs. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF and Franklin Bitcoin ETF also experienced outflows of $98.1 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

The decline in the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund market comes amidst a cooling of the cryptocurrency’s price. In April, new U.S. ETFs witnessed $343.5 million worth of net outflows, ending a streak of three months of inflows.

Bitcoin Price Consolidates After Record Highs

The ETFs had previously experienced significant demand, with inflows of $1.5 billion, $6 billion, and $4.6 billion in January, February, and March, respectively. However, overall flows have slowed since reaching a peak of $1.05 billion in net daily inflows on March 12. Total net inflows for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since trading began on Jan. 11 have now dipped below the $12 billion mark, standing at $11.8 billion.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, traded predominantly between $60,000 and $70,000 in April, reflecting a subdued performance compared to the record highs reached in the first quarter.
