Bitcoin Loses $227 Million With Ether Marking Fourth Day of Redemptions
The momentum that powered crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) earlier this week has snapped. Investors pulled nearly $394 million from bitcoin and ether funds on Thursday, Sept. 4, as redemptions swept across major issuers despite isolated institutional inflows.
Bitcoin ETFs registered $227.48 million in outflows, led by a $125.49 million exit from Ark 21Shares’ ARKB and a $117.45 million loss on Fidelity’s FBTC. Additional withdrawals included $66.37 million from Bitwise’s BITB and $22.42 million from Grayscale’s GBTC.
Smaller exits were seen across Vaneck’s HODL (-$17.88 million), Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust (-$4.86 million), Valkyrie’s BRRR (-$4.66 million), and Franklin’s EZBC (-$3.18 million). Only Blackrock’s IBIT stood firm, attracting a significant $134.82 million inflow. Even so, total bitcoin ETF net assets fell to $142.30 billion, with value traded at $2.69 billion.
Ether ETFs fared no better, chalking up $167.41 million in outflows and extending their losing streak to a fourth day. The damage was heaviest at Fidelity’s FETH, which bled $216.68 million.
Additional exits came from Bitwise’s ETHW (-$45.66 million), Grayscale’s ETHE (-$26.44 million), and Vaneck’s ETHV (-$17.22 million), alongside smaller pullbacks from Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust (-$6.44 million), Invesco’s QETH (-$2.13 million), and Franklin’s EZET (-$1.62 million).
A bright spot appeared with Blackrock’s ETHA, which absorbed $148.80 million, softening the blow. Total value traded reached $2.61 billion, while net assets slipped to $27.78 billion.
With both bitcoin and ether ETFs turning red in tandem, Thursday underscored a growing caution in crypto markets, even as Blackrock’s funds continued to stand out as institutional safe havens.
