Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs Shed Over $1 Billion in Assets as XRP Fund Soars

In brief

  • Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs shed more than $1 billion in assets combined.
  • The iShares Bitcoin Trust finished with more than a quarter billion in net outflows.
  • The outflow totals came as crypto markets sagged with Bitcoin returning to its lowest level in six months.

On a day when the new XRP exchange-traded fund set a 2025 record for daily net inflows, established Bitcoin and Ethereum funds endured one of their worst days for investments. 

On Thursday, the 11 spot BTC ETFs shed nearly $867 million in assets, the second highest total in their 22-month history, while the nine ETH funds bled an additional $260 million, according to UK asset manager Farside Investors.  

The outflows occurred on a rocky day for digital assets, with Bitcoin dropping below $98,500 for the first time in more than six months–about 20% off its record high set in early October, according to crypto markets data provider CoinGecko. BTC plunged even deeper later Friday morning, dipping below $97,000.

Ethereum and Solana hit four- and five-month lows as investors continued an exodus from risk-on assets–tech stocks included–a result of the shaky U.S. economic and political environment. 

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin fund with more than $80 billion in assets under management, led the declines with more than a quarter of billion in outflows. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), the second largest Bitcoin fund by AUM, dropped more than $119 million in investments. 

Interest in those funds has sagged in recent weeks with IBIT hemorrhaging more than $1 billion since over the last 13 trading days and FBTC more than $681 million. 

Meanwhile, Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF (XRPC) opened with $58 million in first-day trading volume, the strongest debut of any exchange-traded fund this year.

The scale of flows was unexpected with Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas initially projecting around $17 million for XRPC. The fund cleared that within half an hour, and narrowly bested the performance of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), which opened with $57 million when it launched two weeks ago. 

BSOL has already generated more than $550 million in net inflows, although on Thursday it totaled just $1.5 million.

GBP trades firmly against US Dollar

The post GBP trades firmly against US Dollar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pound Sterling trades firmly against US Dollar ahead of Fed’s policy outcome The Pound Sterling (GBP) clings to Tuesday’s gains near 1.3640 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European trading session on Wednesday. The GBP/USD pair holds onto gains as the US Dollar remains on the back foot amid firm expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates in the monetary policy announcement at 18:00 GMT. At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto losses near a fresh two-month low of 96.60 posted on Tuesday. Read more… UK inflation unchanged at 3.8%, Pound shrugs The British pound is unchanged on Wednesday, trading at 1.3645 in the European session. Today’s inflation report was a dour reminder that UK inflation remains entrenched. CPI for August was unchanged at 3.8% y/y, matching the consensus and its highest level since January 2024. Airfares decreased but this was offset by food and petrol prices. Monthly, CPI rose 0.3%, up from 0.1% in July and matching the consensus. Core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, eased to 3.6% from 3.8%. Monthly, core CPI ticked up to 0.3% from 0.2%. The inflation report comes just a day before the Bank of England announces its rate decision. Inflation is almost double the BoE’s target of 2% and today’s release likely means that the BoE will not reduce rates before 2026.
