US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $201.8 million in net outflows Friday, led by ARK 21Shares, as total fund assets slipped back below $100 billion.

US‑listed spot Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net outflow of $201.8 million on Friday, ending a nine‑day streak of inflows as Bitcoin’s price slipped below $78,000.

Bitcoin ETF outflows break a nine‑day inflow run

After more than $3 billion of net inflows over the previous nine sessions, the latest outflow reduced total assets in US spot Bitcoin ETFs to $97.6 billion, down from a brief peak above $100 billion on Thursday.

Fund‑by‑fund breakdown

  • ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) led the withdrawals with $114.9 million.
  • Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) saw $49.7 million in outflows.
  • BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded $33.4 million of outflows.
  • Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) was the only fund with inflows, adding $9.3 million.

Altcoin ETFs continue to attract capital

While Bitcoin funds posted outflows, ETFs focused on other digital assets saw fresh inflows:

  • Ether ETFs added $102.2 million.
  • XRP ETFs attracted $26.2 million.
  • Solana ETFs maintained positive momentum, with cumulative inflows of $1.7 billion and Bitwise’s Solana fund surpassing $1 billion in assets.

Market context

The outflow coincided with Bitcoin’s price dip below $78 K, a level that had previously supported steady ETF inflows. Despite the reversal for Bitcoin, the broader ETF landscape remains supportive of altcoin exposure.
