Bitcoin ETF is in the red again, but potential new members await
According to data from SoSoValue, the combined trading activity of 12 Bitcoin spot ETFs resulted in negative inflows of $296.18 million over the past week. This development marks the seventh weekly leak of 2026 and the 15th since the cryptocurrency bear market began in October 2025. Daily analysis shows that net withdrawal performance is closely related to consecutive outflows on Thursday and Friday, with a total value of more than $396 million. For context, the $225.48 million outflow registered on Friday represents the largest net outflow from the market since March 3.
Looking at individual fund performance, BlackRock IBIT experienced the largest net redemptions at $158.07 million. Meanwhile, there are Grayscale’s GBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Arc/21. The stock ARKB also recorded a total net flow of $169.26 million. ETFs such as Grayscale’s BTC and VanEck’s HODL also contributed slightly to the general market’s negative performance, recording net withdrawals of $5.45 and $10.28, respectively. Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for the only recorded net inflow, valued at $46.88 million.
Other ETFs such as Invesco’s BTCO, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Wisdom Tree’s BTCW, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, and Hashdex’s DEFI all had zero weekly net flows. At press time, the Bitcoin Spot ETF reported cumulative total net inflows of $55.93 billion and total net assets of $84.77 billion.
Meanwhile, according to recent reports, US banking giant Morgan Stanley has applied to launch its own Bitcoin spot ETF under the name MSBT. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the proposed fund would offer the lowest fees on the market at 0.14%, just below Grayscale’s 0.15%. If approved by the SEC, MSBT will become the first Bitcoin spot ETF to be listed directly by a U.S. bank. For context, Morgan Stanley ranks as the world’s leading financial services operator, with $1.9 trillion in assets under management and a market capitalization of $251 billion.
