U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have continued their streak of net outflows, with investors pulling a combined total of over $550 million on August 20 alone. This marks the fourth consecutive day of withdrawals, signaling a weakening short-term sentiment in the crypto market.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $311.57 million in outflows for the day, bringing their four-day total to nearly $1 billion. The biggest losses were seen in BlackRock’s IBIT, which saw $220 million in redemptions, followed by Ark 21Shares’ ARKB with $76 million.
Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs also experienced significant withdrawals, with $240 million in outflows, pushing their total four-day losses to more than $925 million. BlackRock’s ETHA was hit the hardest, shedding $257 million—its second-largest outflow since its launch. A small amount of inflows into Fidelity and Grayscale's Ethereum funds provided a minor offset to the overall trend.
The continued redemptions reflect recent price declines in both Bitcoin and Ethereum, despite mild price recoveries in the last 24 hours.
