BTC ETFs End 9-Day Inflow Streak With $201.9M Outflow; ETH ETFs Extend Run

What happened: Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $201.9 million net outflow on August 28, 2026, breaking a nine-day inflow streak that had seen $2.8 billion in new capital. Cumulative net inflows now stand at $55.1 billion, with total net assets at $93.9 billion. In contrast, spot Ethereum ETFs continued their positive momentum, taking in $102.1 million for a 10-day streak and reaching $12.9 billion in cumulative inflows.

Why it matters: While the one-day outflow for BTC ETFs is modest relative to their overall size, it marks a pause in the sustained institutional demand that has underpinned recent price rallies. The continued strength of ETH ETFs suggests a possible rotation or diversification among institutional investors. Market observers caution against reading too much into a single day’s flow, but note that such shifts can foreshadow changing sentiment or risk appetite.
