Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Experience Significant $244 Million Withdrawal Following Consecutive Days of Outflows

On September 23, Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a total of $244 million in outflows, marking the second consecutive day of withdrawals by investors.

This follows a significant exit of $439 million the day before, as investors adjusted their positions in light of the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut and forthcoming U.S. inflation data.

Fidelity’s FBTC led the withdrawals with $75.6 million, followed by ARK 21Shares’ ARKB, which saw a decrease of $27.9 million.

Conversely, BlackRock’s flagship IBIT managed to achieve a modest inflow of $2.5 million, while Invesco’s BTCO recorded the highest inflow of the day at $10 million.

Grayscale’s GBTC, along with VanEck’s HODL and Valkyrie’s BRRR, did not report any significant net flows.

Ethereum ETFs, however, faced even larger redemptions, with $140.7 million exiting in a single day. Fidelity’s FETH accounted for the majority of these losses with $63.4 million in outflows, followed by Grayscale’s ETH fund, which lost $36.4 million.

Bitwise’s ETHW also experienced substantial withdrawals of $23.9 million, while Grayscale’s ETHE recorded $17.1 million in redemptions.

BlackRock’s ETHA and VanEck’s ETHV remained unchanged, while smaller funds from Franklin, 21Shares, and Invesco showed no significant variations.

The day prior, on September 22, Bitcoin products had seen a loss of $363 million in a single session, primarily driven by Fidelity’s FBTC with $276.7 million in redemptions.

Ethereum funds experienced $76 million in withdrawals on the same day, again led by Fidelity’s FETH, along with redemptions from Bitwise and BlackRock’s ETHA.

As of September 23, Bitcoin spot ETFs hold $147.2 billion in net assets, which represents 6.6% of the cryptocurrency’s total market capitalization. Cumulative inflows amount to $57.25 billion.

Ethereum spot ETFs currently hold $27.5 billion in net assets, accounting for 5.45% of the total ETH market, with cumulative inflows reaching $13.7 billion.

The recent outflows come just a week after digital asset products recorded nearly $1.9 billion in inflows, according to CoinShares data.

This surge followed the Federal Reserve’s initial interest rate cut of 2025, which sparked renewed interest from investors seeking crypto exposure despite cautious signals from policymakers.

During that week, Bitcoin funds attracted $977 million, while Ethereum products garnered $772 million, setting a year-to-date record of $12.6 billion for Ether-backed products.

Market data indicates that investor positioning remains sensitive to macroeconomic signals.

Analysts emphasize that ETF flows and derivatives leverage are crucial indicators to monitor as markets respond to both the Fed’s policy outlook and upcoming inflation figures.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETFs Drive $260M Revenue Increase, Ethereum Contributes $42M

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have achieved significant success in recent years.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds are now generating over $260 million annually, demonstrating that digital asset products have become a substantial profit source for the world’s largest asset manager.

Leon Waidmann, head of research at the Onchain Foundation, stated that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETFs account for $218 million of that total, while Ethereum products contribute $42 million.

“This isn’t experimentation anymore,” Waidmann remarked, indicating that the firm has transformed crypto ETFs into a revenue stream comparable to established financial products.

Analysts suggest that BlackRock’s achievements will serve as a benchmark for pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies contemplating exposure to digital assets.

Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed out the structural advantages of crypto ETFs, which offer instant access, low costs, and yield potential, along with regulatory protection and anonymity—benefits not typically associated with direct token ownership.

ETFs have everything tokens offer: instant access, miniscule costs, flexibility, yield (you can totally lend out ETFs). But with added benefits that tokens don’t have: regulatory protections (huge), anonymity and a 1-800 number *immediately mutes conversation lol* https://t.co/5wpM79aEmw

Market conditions remain mixed. Bitcoin was trading at $113,717 on Monday, reflecting a 0.9% increase over the past 24 hours but fluctuating within a narrow range between $111,369 and $113,301.

Ethereum declined by 0.4% to $4,173.88, representing a 7.1% drop over the past week. Despite short-term volatility, some industry leaders view rising institutional demand as a long-term price driver.

Michael Saylor from Strategy mentioned to CNBC that ETFs and corporations are collectively acquiring significantly more Bitcoin than miners produce daily, exerting sustained upward pressure. Citigroup, however, remains cautious regarding Ethereum, projecting a year-end target of $4,300, which is considerably lower than its all-time high of $4,953 reached in August.
