US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded another day of net outflows on Wednesday, extending a short-term reversal after their strongest three-week inflow run of 2026.

Bitcoin ETFs saw $120.2 million in net withdrawals on Wednesday, bringing total outflows across the first two sessions of the holiday-shortened week to $166.8 million.

ARKB Leads Bitcoin ETF Outflows

The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, or ARKB, posted the largest withdrawals on Wednesday with $78 million in net outflows.

Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF followed with $27.2 million, while BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF recorded $19.5 million in withdrawals.

Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust was the only fund to attract fresh capital during the session, adding $4.5 million.

Bitcoin ETFs Post Back-to-Back Outflow Days

Wednesday’s losses followed $46.6 million in net outflows on Tuesday.

The two sessions marked the first consecutive outflow days for Bitcoin ETFs since a three-day withdrawal streak ended on Aug. 14.

Across the two trading days, Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $92.7 million in net redemptions.

ARKB saw $69.9 million in total withdrawals, while BlackRock’s IBIT posted $8.8 million in net outflows.

Strong 2026 Inflow Streak Loses Momentum

The two-day decline erased around 4.4% of the $3.8 billion that Bitcoin ETFs attracted during their strongest three-week stretch of 2026.

Despite the latest withdrawals, spot Bitcoin ETFs have generated roughly $55 billion in cumulative net inflows since their launch.

However, their combined net flows for 2026 remain negative at around $1.07 billion.

The latest figures suggest that institutional demand has cooled following the strong inflow streak, although the recent withdrawals remain relatively small compared with total historical inflows.

Ether ETFs Return to Net Inflows

While Bitcoin ETFs faced renewed selling pressure, US spot Ether ETFs returned to positive territory.

Ether ETFs attracted $34.7 million in net inflows on Wednesday after recording $24.3 million in withdrawals on Tuesday.

That brought their total weekly net inflows to approximately $10.4 million.

BlackRock’s ETHB led Wednesday’s gains with $22.9 million in inflows.

The company’s ETHA fund added another $9.7 million, while the 21Shares TETH fund recorded $2.1 million.

Other Ether ETFs reported no significant net flows during the session.

Solana ETFs Also Recover

Spot Solana ETFs also returned to positive flows after a small outflow the previous day.

The funds attracted $11.2 million on Wednesday after losing around $700,000 on Tuesday.

That lifted their two-session total to approximately $10.5 million in net inflows.

All of Wednesday’s Solana ETF inflows went into Bitwise’s BSOL fund.

Hyperliquid ETFs Extend Outflow Streak

Hyperliquid ETFs moved in the opposite direction and recorded net withdrawals for a second consecutive session.

The funds lost $5.3 million on Wednesday after posting $13 million in outflows on Tuesday.

Total withdrawals for the week therefore reached approximately $18.3 million.

Bitcoin Trades Near $78,000

The mixed ETF flows came as Bitcoin traded around $78,000 on Thursday.

That was below the roughly $79,700 level seen when the earlier three-week ETF inflow figures were reported.

Ether traded near $2,470, while Solana remained close to $101.

The latest ETF data highlights a divergence across the crypto market. Bitcoin funds are experiencing short-term outflows, while Ether and Solana ETFs have returned to positive territory.

Investors will now be watching whether Bitcoin ETF demand rebounds or whether the recent withdrawals develop into a longer period of institutional caution.
