  • Net withdrawals from spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US surpassed $51.5 million, with notable outflows from ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.
  • Despite these outflows, several U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows, including Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, and Franklin Bitcoin ETF.
  • Overall, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs have attracted approximately $12 billion in net inflows since their regulatory approval and listing, although volumes have been decreasing since reaching a peak on March.

Net withdrawals from spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US were over $51.5 million.

Interestingly, the largest perpetrator was not the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. According to statistics from SoSoValue, on April 29, $31.34 million left the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, while GBTC had net withdrawals of $24.66 million. Additionally, there was a $6.85 million net outflow from the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund.

There were net inflows into several U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs. With a net inflow of $6.84 million, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF saw the largest gain, followed by the Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund and Franklin Bitcoin ETF with $2.67 million and $1.82 million, respectively.

The net inflows for the other spot bitcoin ETFs, such as BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, were zero dollars.

Spot bitcoin ETFs have seen a total net inflow of about $12 billion in the U.S. since receiving regulatory permission and listing.
