Bitcoin ETFs See Red Again, As Potential New Member Awaits
According to data from SoSoValue, the combined trading activity of the 12 Bitcoin Spot ETFs resulted in a negative inflow of $296.18 million over the past week. This development represents the seventh weekly outflow of 2026 and the fifteenth since the crypto bear market began in October 2025. Daily analysis shows that the performance of net withdrawals is strongly linked to the back-to-back outflows on Thursday and Friday, together valued at over $396 million. As a reminder, the outflow of $225.48 million recorded on Friday represents the largest net outflow from the market since March 3.
Looking at individual fund performance, BlackRock IBIT saw the largest net redemptions, valued at $158.07 million. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Ark/21 ARKB shares also saw a total net flow of $169.26 million. ETFs such as Grayscale’s BTC and VanEck’s HODL also saw net withdrawals of $5.45 and $10.28 respectively, marking minor contributions to the negative performance of the broader market. In contrast, Fidelity’s FBTC represents the only recorded net inflow, valued at $46.88 million.
Other ETFs, such as Invesco’s BTCO, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Wisdom Tree’s BTCW, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, and Hashdex’s DEFI, all saw no weekly net flows. At press time, the Bitcoin Spot ETF reported cumulative total net inflows of $55.93 billion and total net assets of $84.77 billion.
Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that US banking giant Morgan Stanley has filed to launch its own Bitcoin spot ETF under the ticker MSBT. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the proposed fund will offer the lowest fees on the market, at 0.14%, just below Grayscale’s 0.15%. If approved by the SEC, MSBT will be the first Bitcoin spot ETF directly listed by a US bank. As a reminder, Morgan Stanley ranks among the leading financial services operators in the world with assets under management of $1.9 trillion and a market capitalization of $251 billion.
