Bitcoin Spot ETFs See $14.1M Outflow, IBIT Wins $114M Inflow
On August 15, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a combined net outflow of $14.13m, led by Grayscale’s GBTC with $81.82m in redemptions. BlackRock’s IBIT was the only fund to attract capital, posting a $114m inflow and lifting its total net inflows to $58.67bn. Total assets under management for Bitcoin spot ETFs now stand at $151.98bn, or 6.54% of Bitcoin’s market capitalisation, while cumulative net inflows into all spot ETFs have reached $54.97bn. These daily ETF flows reflect short-term portfolio rebalancing and profit-taking rather than a broader sell-off, with IBIT’s strong performance highlighting ongoing institutional demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure. Traders should monitor long-term ETF performance trends, liquidity levels, fee structures and wider crypto market conditions. Diversifying across multiple Bitcoin spot ETFs may help manage risk and capture evolving institutional flows.
Neutral
The net outflow of $14.13m is modest relative to the $151.98bn AUM, and Grayscale’s GBTC redemptions are offset by strong institutional inflows into IBIT. Daily ETF flows mainly reflect routine rebalancing and profit-taking rather than a market sell-off. IBIT’s continued inflows demonstrate ongoing demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure, suggesting stable trading conditions. In the short term, traders may see minor volatility around ETF reallocation, while long-term market stability is supported by strong institutional interest and diversified ETF adoption.
