Bitcoin price issues last week were present in the ETF market, as Bitcoin spot ETFs posted their all-time net outflows for the month. Prior to this trading session, these investment funds had experienced a 4-week bullish streak, resulting in a net inflow of $2.21 billion.
Bitcoin ETFs See Red Again, While Potential New Member Awaits
According to data from SoSoValue, the combined trading activity across all 12 Bitcoin Spot ETFs resulted in a negative inflow of $296.18 million over the past week. This development represents the seventh weekly breakout of 2026, and the fifteenth since the crypto bear market began in October 2025. Daily analysis shows that withdrawal performance is closely linked to consecutive withdrawals on Thursday and Friday, which combined for more than $396 million. For context, the outflow of $225.48 million registered on Friday represents the market’s total outflow since March 3.
Looking at individual fund performance, BlackRock IBIT received the largest redemptions of approximately $158.07 million. Meanwhile, Greyscale’s GBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Ark/21 ARKB shares also registered a net flow of $169.26 million. ETFs like Grayscale’s BTC and VanEck’s HODL also posted total withdrawals of $5.45 and $10.28 respectively, marking small contributions to the overall market’s poor performance. On the other hand, Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for the only net inflow recorded, which was estimated at $46.88 million.
Other ETFs, such as Invesco’s BTCO, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Wisdom Tree’s BTCW, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, and Hashdex’s DEFI, all experienced zero weekly net flows. At press time, the Bitcoin Spot ETF reported total net inflows of $55.93 billion and net assets of $84.77 billion.
Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that the American banking giant Morgan Stanley has applied to launch its own Bitcoin exchange ETF under the ticker MSBT. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the proposed fund would offer the lowest fee in the market at 0.14%, just below Greyscale’s 0.15%. If approved by the SEC, MSBT will be the first Bitcoin spot ETF listed directly by a US bank. In context, Morgan Stanley ranks as the world’s leading financial services operator with assets under management of $1.9 trillion and a market capitalization of $251 billion.
