The 11 U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds reported large net outflows of $226.21 million yesterday.
Fidelity’s FBTC saw its second largest net outflow day since inception, worth $106 million, according to data from SoSoValue. Grayscale’s GBTC reported net outflows of $62 million, and Ark Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB saw $53 million move out from the fund.
Funds from Bitwise and VanEck both saw net outflows worth around $10 million, while Invesco and Galaxy Digital’s BTCO saw $3 million in net outflows. The only net inflow yesterday came from BlackRock’s IBIT, which is the largest spot bitcoin fund in terms of net asset value. IBIT drew in $18 million on Thursday.
Since their January listing, the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have accumulated a total net inflow of $15.30 billion. The price of bitcoin has moved down 1.48% in the past 24 hours to $66,704, according to The Block’s bitcoin price page .
In related ETF news, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler said Thursday that the regulatory agency may give its decision on the spot ether funds “over the course of” this summer.
The SEC gave the preliminary approval for spot ether ETF applications last month, where issuers are now waiting for their S-1 registration statements to be greenlit for official launch. Analysts at JPMorgan said in May that they expect spot ether funds to start trading well before November this year.
Upon their launch, spot ether funds could attract up to 20% of investments currently flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs, Bitfinex analyst Jag Kooner told The Block earlier this week. However, crypto derivatives trader Gordon Grant said that institutional investors will find the spot ether funds unappealing, as issuers have eliminated staking components from the ETFs due to regulatory uncertainty.

The Federal Reserve is almost certain to raise interest rates tonight, but the key issue is "what will be said after the hike." Citi characterizes this move as a "fine-tuning" adjustment, suggesting there is no inevitable future rate hike, yet warns that if Chairman Powell does not provide clear forward guidance, it will trigger significant market volatility. Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that there is insufficient economic foundation for this rate hike, with inflation being merely a one-off factor, and expects this to be a "signal-less rate hike."
JPMorgan: "Open source disruption" and "AI safety" are not issues, there is still room for capital expenditure in the next two years, semiconductor equipment will become the "new bottleneck"
JPMorgan believes that open-source models are not a threat, regulatory disruptions are only short-term, and cloud vendors’ leverage remains low—the fundamentals of computing power investment have not changed. It forecasts that the capital expenditure of the seven major tech giants will soar from $443 billion in 2025 to $1.577 trillion in 2027, with semiconductor equipment becoming the core bottleneck of the supply chain and a new round of price increases expected in wafer foundry and advanced packaging.
