- Bitcoin ETFs saw a rough market day on Wednesday.
- Eight funds recorded zero inflows.
- Grayscaleโs BGTC fund continued to bleed.
U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) seemingly fell out of favor with investors on Wednesday as eight products witnessed zero inflows.
The development coincided with Bitcoinโs price tumbling over 5% in the last 24 hours to bottom at $63,702 before recovering some of its losses to exchange hands at $64,051 as of press time. The choppy moves in the worldโs largest crypto asset came four days after the halving event.

According to preliminary data published by Farside Investors, BlackRockโs IBIT fund closed Wednesday trading with zero inflows, and seven other funds followed suit. They include Bitwiseโs BITB, Invescoโs BTCO, Franklinโs EZBC, Valkyrieโs BRRR, VanEckโs HODL, WisdomTreeโs BTCW, and Hashdexโs DEFI.
While it isnโt uncommon for other Bitcoin ETF products to record zero inflows, such as Fidelity’s FBTC, which has seen three days of $0 inflows in the last two weeks, it was the first time for BlackRockโs IBIT since its launch on January 11.
Since its debut, the IBIT fund has consistently attracted daily inflows in the millions, accumulating as much as $15.5 billion in 71 days. On April 23, the fund registered a 70th consecutive day of inflows to rank among some of the most successful ETFs in history, a milestone Bloombergโs Eric Balchunas predicted a day earlier.
Despite the eight funds’ non-performance, it was a relatively successful day for Fidelityโs FBTC and the ARK 21Sharesโ ARKB Bitcoin ETFs, which registered inflows of $5.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, Grayscaleโs GBTC fund hemorrhaged $130.4 million, contributing to the dayโs cumulative outflow of $120.6 million.
