Bitcoin ETFs see $490 million outflow over three days
$490M outflows from Bitcoin ETFs

​​U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced outflows for the third consecutive day. More than $490 million has been withdrawn from the funds amid growing macroeconomic uncertainty and investor caution.

Highlights

  • Bitcoin ETFs recorded outflows for three straight days totaling over $490 million.
  • Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT led the withdrawals.
  • The funds had attracted more than $2.11 billion in the prior nine days.

Scale of the outflows

According to CoinPedia, on Monday, April 27, the Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $263.2 million—the largest single-day withdrawal of the week. Tuesday saw a further $89.7 million leave the funds, followed by an additional $137.6 million outflow on Wednesday, the day of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.

Fidelity’s FBTC led the redemptions with $191.5 million, followed by BlackRock’s IBIT, which saw $166.9 million leave. ARK Invest’s ARKB recorded an outflow of $73.3 million. In total, the three-day streak has resulted in more than $490 million pulled from Bitcoin ETFs.

Recent context

The withdrawals come after nine consecutive days of inflows totaling over $2.11 billion. 

Bitcoin’s price reacted by falling around 3% and is currently trading near $76,159. 

Analysts note that sustained outflows could push the cryptocurrency back toward the key support level of $74,000.

Market implications

The sharp reversal in ETF flows signals diminishing institutional confidence after a strong inflow period. 

If the trend continues, it could put additional downward pressure on Bitcoin and slow the broader crypto market recovery.

As previously covered, Bitcoin poised for a strong May despite a cautious month-end.
