Bitcoin ETFs saw $287.8 million in transfers on September 3, the largest since May 1.
Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC led the outflows with essential investor cash outs.

Bitcoin ETFs experienced a noteworthy exit of $287.8 million on September 3. This marked the largest since May 1. Eight ETF issuers were affected as customers showed growing worries. The transactions come during a time of increased trade instability, leading to questions about Bitcoin's consistency.
Fidelity and Grayscale Hit Hard
Fidelity’s FBTC ETF led the transfers, with $162.3 million being pulled out. Grayscale’s GBTC also saw major takeout, losing $50.4 million. ARK Invest's ARKB ETF recorded a $33.6 million outflow, and Bitwise's BITB ETF saw a $25 million leave. These numbers show a broad retreat from Bitcoin ETFs.
BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, however, had neither inflows nor outflows for the second straight trading day. Bitcoin ETFs collectively lost $767.6 million over the last five trading days. This represents about 4% of the total net flows, which are now at $17.3 billion.
Market Drops and Economic Signs
These exits directly impacted Bitcoin’s price, which fell over 2.7% to $57,500 on September 3. This drop followed the release of the U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI, which was below 50. This figure signalled continued contraction in the manufacturing sector and stimulated problems about economic health.

Nvidia, a major tech company, led a broader market sell-off, falling by 9.54%. This negative sentiment spread to the crypto sales and further pushed BTC’s price down. Futures tied to the S&P 500 also fell by 0.4%, indicating general financial fears.
Ethereum ETFs Face Challenges
ETFs that track BTC experienced big withdrawals, but Ethereum ETFs also saw pressure. On September 3, Ethereum ETFs recorded $47.4 million in outflows. Grayscale’s ETHE investment experienced the biggest withdrawal, with $52.3 million being pulled out. Fidelity’s FETH ETF managed to offset some of these losses with a $4.9 million inflow.
Total outflows for ETH ETFs now stand at $524.8 million. These ongoing outflows in both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs show a cautious approach by investors. The current business Instability is driving many to rethink their positions in crypto ETFs, raising questions about their future.
