Etf weekly recap: bitcoin and ether etfs bleed with $1.7 billion in withdrawals

Overview

  • U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs shed roughly $1.7 billion in the week ending Sept. 26, with Bitcoin funds posting about $903 million in outflows and snapping a four‑week inflow run.
  • Friday proved pivotal for Bitcoin ETFs with $418.25 million withdrawn in a single day, led by Fidelity’s FBTC losing about $300 million and BlackRock’s IBIT down $37 million.
  • Ethereum ETFs recorded their largest weekly redemptions since launch at about $795.6–$796 million, driven by heavy withdrawals from Fidelity’s FETH (~$362 million) and BlackRock’s ETHA (~$200 million).
  • The outflows tracked price weakness as Ether fell roughly 10% over the five‑day stretch before recovering above $4,000 by Saturday, while Bitcoin slid more than 5% on the week.
  • Analysts cited profit‑taking, portfolio rebalancing and macro policy worries; traders are watching potential SEC signals on ETH staking and a developing rotation toward altcoin products, with CoinShares noting strong Solana and XRP inflows ahead of anticipated U.S. ETF launches.
