CryptoBriefing and Crypto Economy both tally roughly $390M in Bitcoin ETF outflows for the week of August 10-14, but they identify different funds as the main driver.
What all sources agree on
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of approximately $390 million during the week of August 10-14.
- Monday, August 10 was the largest single-day outflow of the week, at approximately $144.7 million.
- The week's outflows reversed a preceding period of net inflows into the ETFs.
Where the reports disagree
1Which ETF was the primary driver of the week's outflows
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets, was a primary contributor to the outflows.
Fidelity‘s FBTC fund led the outflows with $153.2 million in withdrawals, followed by Grayscale‘s GBTC with $88.3 million and BlackRock‘s IBIT with $78.9 million.
What would settle it: Fund-level flow data from Farside Investors, SoSoValue, or the ETF issuers' own daily creation/redemption disclosures.
What to make of it
Treat the overall weekly outflow figure (~$390M) and Monday's ~$144.7M outflow as established since both outlets agree; do not treat claims about which specific fund (IBIT or FBTC) drove the outflows as settled until fund-level flow data is checked directly.
