US Spot Bitcoin ETF: Inflows and Outflows Paint a Volatile Market Picture
Cryptocurrency market fluctuations in February-March demonstrated the unpredictability of professional investors. Although the previous three days saw significant capital inflows into the US spot Bitcoin ETF totaling around $1.1 billion, this positive trend was suddenly interrupted by a strong outflow of funds when Bitcoin’s price dropped below $71,000.
Massive Capital Outflows: A Detailed Look at Fund Flows
In early March, the US spot Bitcoin ETF experienced a net outflow of $228 million in a single trading session. This event marked a turning point from the inflows observed in the preceding days. The largest losses were recorded by three leading funds: iShares Bitcoin Trust lost approximately $89 million, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund lost $48 million, and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF lost $46 million.
Despite this significant outflow, the overall position of the spot Bitcoin ETF remained relatively stable. By the end of the week, the net total was a withdrawal of about $917 million, while the total assets under management (AUM) stayed above $90 billion. This indicates continued institutional interest in the crypto asset class.
Market Outlook: Has a New Bullish Trend Begun?
Market experts offered a mixed assessment. Following Bitcoin’s recent rebound above $73,000, analysts view this rise as a “relief rally” — a temporary bounce within a correction cycle, rather than the start of a sustained bullish trend. Some institutional players previously warned of the risk of Bitcoin’s price falling below $60,000 amid the current corrective phase of the market.
Capital Flows Beyond Bitcoin: Altcoins in Focus
Besides Bitcoin, alternative crypto assets also experienced capital rotation. Ethereum funds suffered the largest outflows, approximately $91 million, while XRP and Solana ETFs recorded smaller withdrawals of $6 million and $5 million, respectively. Notably, the Solana ETF, launched in July 2025, attracted nearly $1.5 billion in inflows from institutional investors, demonstrating sustained professional interest in the Solana network despite short-term outflows.
