US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $236 million outflow, with BlackRock's IBIT shedding $201 million. Bitcoin traded near $77,000, down 2% on the week.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a net outflow of $236 million on Monday, driven largely by BlackRock's IBIT, which accounted for approximately $201 million of the withdrawals [2]. This marks a reversal after a period of net inflows for the broader group of Bitcoin ETFs, raising questions about sustained institutional interest [1, 2].

The $236 million outflow on Monday for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs follows a period where the group had seen net inflows, ending an eight-week streak of withdrawals that totaled over $8 billion [1, 2]. Fidelity's FBTC also contributed to the outflows, shedding $44 million, while Bitwise's BITB was the only fund to record an inflow, taking in $8 million [2]. The remaining nine Bitcoin ETFs saw no activity [2].
In contrast, other crypto ETFs remained in positive territory. Ether ETFs added approximately $11 million for the twelfth consecutive day, XRP funds saw $14 million in inflows, Solana funds $10 million, and Hyperliquid nearly $2 million [2].
Bitcoin's price slipped below $77,500, trading just above $77,000 as of Asian morning hours Wednesday, down about 2% on the week [2]. During the day, Bitcoin traded between $63,742 and $65,012, hovering around the $64,000 mark early Monday [1]. Solana and Zcash led 24-hour declines, each down roughly 3%, while XRP, Tron, and Dogecoin fell about 2% [2]. Bitcoin, Ether, BNB, and Hyperliquid remained relatively flat, within 2% of their previous levels [2].
Despite the ETF outflows, options traders have shown a more bullish stance, with Deribit noting 20,000 July 31 call spreads positioned between $70,000 and $72,000 [1]. Jean-David Péquignot, Deribit’s chief commercial officer, commented on "large blocks in BTC topside call spreads" [1].
The latest ETF outflows highlight the continued volatility in the Bitcoin market and the concentrated nature of recent fund movements, with BlackRock's IBIT playing a pivotal role in overall sentiment and flow direction [1, 2].

As of September 2026, Bitcoin's one-month realized volatility is near historic lows. This compressed volatility reflects a period where daily price movements have been contained, though historical data suggests such periods can precede both rallies and declines.
Approximately 71% of Bitcoin's circulating supply is in profit as of September 2026, which creates a potential source of selling pressure. As the price of Bitcoin rises, holders who are in profit may choose to sell their holdings to realize gains, which could counteract upward price momentum.
