U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds continued their streak of negative flows on Tuesday.
According to data from SosoValue, the 12 spot bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $287.78 million on Tuesday, the largest negative flows since May 1. BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by net assets, logged zero flows for the day.
Grayscale’s GBTC, the second-largest spot bitcoin ETF, saw $50.39 million leave the fund, while Fidelity’s FBTC recorded the largest outflows, with $162.26 million.
Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB logged outflows of $33.6 million, and Bitwise’s BITB reported $24.96 million in net outflows. Several other ETFs managed by VanEck, Valkyrie, Invesco and Franklin Templeton also saw modest outflows.
The significant outflows came amid a market selloff, with Wall Street plummeting on Tuesday on weaker ISM data in the U.S. The U.S. ISM manufacturing index for August came in at 47.2%, up 0.4 percentage points from July.
The total trading volume for the spot bitcoin ETFs amounted to $1.56 billion on Tuesday, compared to $1.54 billion last Friday. The U.S. market was closed on Monday for a holiday.
