Bitcoin ETFs Shed $812M in Third-Worst Day of 2025

• U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs registering third-worst day, shedding $812.3 million
• Ethereum ETFs recording third-worst day, with $152.3 million in withdrawals

According to The Block, U.S.-based Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) faced significant outflows on August 1, 2025. Bitcoin ETFs experienced an $812.3 million decrease, marking their third-worst day historically. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs shed $152.3 million, recording their third-worst day.

The decline follows a record-setting July. In that month, inflows to U.S. crypto ETFs totaled $12.8 billion, averaging $600 million daily. These sharp outflows signal a notable reversal in investor activity after the previous month’s unprecedented momentum.

However, BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum funds remained relatively stable during this downturn. The firm's flagship IBIT fund registered a minor inflow of $2.6 million, while its ETHA fund showed no measurable change. Meanwhile, competitors like Fidelity and Ark Invest saw considerably heavier losses, with their FBTC and ARKB funds facing outflows of approximately $330 million each. Other funds from major players such as Grayscale and Bitwise also lost tens of millions.

Data shows almost no U.S.-based crypto ETFs reported inflows on August 1, 2025. This industry-wide trend starkly contrasts July's performance and drew attention from experts. Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, called the timing of these outflows an "odd way to end what was perhaps [the] most important week ever for crypto" from a regulatory perspective.

Despite these fund outflows, issuers continue to innovate and adapt to the evolving crypto landscape. For example, issuers filed for spot Solana ETFs and recently launched America’s first staked crypto ETF. These actions signal ongoing interest and activity within the sector.

According to CoinGecko, as of 18:08 UTC on August 2, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $112,714.22. Its 24-hour trading volume increased 1.22%.
