The eleven US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw aggregate outflows of $242.6 million on Tuesday, Oct. 1, according to data from Farside Investors. This is the largest outflow for almost a month, with Sept. 3 seeing $288 million leaving BTC ETFs .
It is also the third-largest outflow day over the past five months, reversing an eight-consecutive trading day trend of inflows that topped out at $494 million on Sept. 27.
The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund saw the largest outflow, $144.7 million, on Oct. 1, followed by the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, which lost $84.3 million.
The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF had an outflow of $32.7 million, while the VanEck Bitcoin ETF lost $15.8 million, and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust dropped $5.9 million.
There were zero flows for Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, WisdomTree, and Grayscale’s Mini Bitcoin Trust.
