Bitcoin ETFs see $210M outflow as Ethereum ETFs extend winning streak to ten days
A nine-day inflow run worth over $3 billion came to an abrupt halt for Bitcoin funds, while Ethereum products quietly kept the momentum going.
Bitcoin ETFs had a rough August 28. After nine consecutive days of inflows that stacked up more than $3 billion, U.S. spot Bitcoin funds recorded a net outflow of approximately $201.9 million in a single session, equivalent to about 2,689 BTC leaving the product wrapper. It was the first daily outflow since mid-August, and it landed on a day when Bitcoin’s price was trading in the $77,696 to $78,000 range.
Ethereum ETFs, meanwhile, did the opposite. Spot Ether funds pulled in roughly $102.1 million on the same day, extending their own consecutive inflow streak to ten days and pushing cumulative net inflows close to $12.9 billion.
Where the Bitcoin money went
The outflow was not evenly distributed. ARK 21Shares took the biggest hit, shedding approximately $114.9 million in a single session. Bitwise followed at roughly $49.7 million in outflows, and BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund saw about $33.4 million exit.
To put the overall Bitcoin ETF picture in perspective: cumulative net inflows since launch still sit at approximately $55.1 billion, with total net assets in the neighborhood of $97 billion to $100 billion.

Ethereum’s quiet momentum
While Bitcoin grabbed the negative headline, Ethereum ETFs kept compounding their own story. BlackRock’s ETHA product continued to attract inflows, contributing to a ten-day run that has become one of the more sustained positive periods for Ethereum funds since they launched.
Cumulative inflows into Ethereum ETFs now approach $12.9 billion, with total net assets estimated around $13.8 billion. The ETH inflow number translates to roughly 31,399 ETH entering spot funds on August 28 alone.
