Bitcoin ETFs Record Sharp Outflows

Bitcoin ETFs shifted direction as large funds posted heavy withdrawals. BlackRock’s IBIT led losses with $88.7 million in net outflows. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $48.0 million in redemptions, while Bitwise’s BITB shed $46.4 million.

ARK Invest’s ARKB recorded $22.7 million in outflows during the same session. Grayscale’s GBTC also posted $18.9 million in withdrawals. In contrast, Valkyrie’s BRRR added $5.4 million in net inflows.

Market data showed the outflows erased part of the prior session’s gains. Bitcoin hovered between $70,000 and $71,000 throughout the trading day. Trading desks reported steady but cautious activity across major platforms.

An analyst said, “ETF flows can change quickly when prices stall.” He added that traders often adjust exposure after sharp inflow sessions. The March 5 figures reflected that adjustment across major issuers.

Ethereum and Altcoin ETFs Post Mixed Flows

Spot Ethereum funds also recorded net withdrawals on March 5. Total outflows reached $90.9 million across listed products. Fidelity’s FETH accounted for $115 million in redemptions.

BlackRock’s ETHA attracted $30.3 million in new inflows during the same period. Bitwise’s ETHW and 21Shares’ TETH each reported smaller withdrawals. Issuers released the data after market close.

Solana-based ETFs posted $6 million in net outflows. Fidelity’s FSOL drove most of that decline. XRP-linked funds also saw $6.15 million in redemptions.

The Franklin XRP ETF recorded the bulk of XRP withdrawals. Fund providers published the flow data through official disclosures. The figures reflected daily net creations and redemptions.

Trading volumes across crypto ETFs remained active during the session. However, net flows turned negative after the earlier surge in buying. Bitcoin held near $71,000 at the time of reporting.
