Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a six-day streak of net outflows on Monday, recording $219 million in daily inflows.

ETF data provider SoSoValue reported the rebound, marking a shift after six consecutive trading days of net outflows that began on Aug. 15 and culminated in a $523.31 million outflow on Aug. 19.

What caused the spot Bitcoin ETFs rebound on Monday?

Spot Bitcoin ETFs rebounded after investor sentiment shifted following comments from the Federal Reserve and a brief market correction. Short-term risk appetite rose, driving $219 million of inflows, with major issuers capturing the bulk of the flows.

How much did major ETFs attract and which funds led inflows?

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) led Monday’s inflows with $65.56 million. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) added $63.38 million, and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) contributed $61.21 million.

Smaller positive inputs came from Bitwise (BITB, $15.18M), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (BTC, $7.35M), and VanEck’s HODL fund ($6.32M).

Why did ETFs see outflows earlier in the week?

The outflow streak began Aug. 15 amid a market correction after Bitcoin reached a reported all-time high of $124,128 on Aug. 14 (CoinGecko data). Elevated profit-taking and macro uncertainty pushed cumulative outflows, peaking at $523.31 million on Aug. 19.

Market participants cited polarized sentiment around US monetary policy as a primary driver.

What role did macro commentary and sentiment indicators play?

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said recent crypto fund outflows were the largest since March and linked them to “increasingly polarized” investor sentiment on Federal Reserve policy.

Markets shifted after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks were widely interpreted as more dovish than expected, boosting risk appetite. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to a “Greed” score of 60, reflecting stronger investor confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How sustainable are these ETF inflows?

Short-term inflows reflect renewed risk appetite and macro shifts; sustainability depends on broader market trends, Bitcoin price action, and upcoming US economic data. Monitor inflow patterns over multiple trading days for confirmation.

Did a Bitcoin price move trigger the ETF flows?

Yes. A recent correction from the Aug. 14 all-time high reduced prices and encouraged bargain hunting, while Fed-driven sentiment shifts helped convert that interest into ETF inflows.
