- The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust continues to face challenges with ongoing outflows.
- Other Bitcoin ETFs, such as the Fidelity Bitcoin Fund ETF and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, are showing positive growth.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are attracting investor interest despite recent outflows. As the crypto market faces turbulence, major players like Fidelity and BlackRock have recorded significant inflows, highlighting a shift in investor confidence toward these investment vehicles, Cointelegraph reported.
On August 16, data from SoSoValue revealed that spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in $32.58 million in net inflows, countering the outflows experienced earlier in the month. This is a stark contrast to August 2, when outflows hit $80.69 million, followed by an even higher outflow of $169 million on August 9.
Despite these earlier outflows, interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs remains strong. Major funds like the Fidelity Bitcoin Fund ETF and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF are leading the way, with positive inflows that signal renewed investor confidence.
Notably, while spot Bitcoin ETFs show growth, not all funds are faring well. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has continued to experience outflows, with $72.9 million exiting on August 16 alone. Historically, GBTC has seen net outflows of $19.6 billion, suggesting a divergence in investor sentiment between GBTC and other Bitcoin ETFs.

Conversely, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF has managed to hold steady, showing no net outflow on August 16 and maintaining its total net inflow of $288 million.
The Fidelity Bitcoin Fund ETF has emerged as a top performer, recording a $61.3 million net inflow on August 16, bringing its total historical inflows to $9.8 billion. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF also experienced a significant net inflow of $20.38 million on the same day, further solidifying its presence in the market with a historical total of $20.38 billion.
The overall market value of spot Bitcoin ETFs now stands at $54.35 billion, with an ETF net asset ratio of 4.65%. This means that spot Bitcoin ETFs represent a small but growing portion of the total Bitcoin market.
The rising inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, despite a turbulent start to August, suggest that investors are becoming more confident in these funds as a stable and reliable option in the broader cryptocurrency market.
