Bitcoin ETF Weekly Outflows 2025 Signal Rising Market Anxiety
Bitcoin ETF weekly outflows 2025 surged to $713.30 million, marking one of the worst performances of the year for crypto investment vehicles. This sharp outflow, recorded during the second week of April, represents the third-largest weekly loss of 2025 and the second consecutive week in the red.
Especially harsh was Tuesday, April 8, when $326.27 million was withdrawn in one day—the greatest daily outflow of the week. As the week went on without a single day of nett inflows, investors exhibited no indications of bullish recovery.

Leading this great exodus was BlackRock’s IBIT, which had redemptions of $342.61 million, hence contributing most to the week’s drop. Following Grayscale’s GBTC with nett outflows of $160.93 million, Fidelity’s FBTC lost $74.63 million.
Additional losses included:
-
Bitwise’s BITB: $38.13 million
-
Invesco’s BTCO: $27.30 million
-
Ark 21Shares’ ARKB: $26.01 million
-
Franklin’s EZBC: $18.10 million
-
WisdomTree’s BTCW: $11.90 million
-
VanEck’s HODL: $10.75 million
-
Valkyrie’s BRRR: $5.32 million
Grayscale’s Mini Bitcoin Fund, which saw a small inflow of $2.39 million, was the only ETF in the green.
At the end of the week, Bitcoin ETFs had a total nett asset of $93.36 billion, far below the prior 2025 peaks of more than $100 billion.
It wasn’t just for Bitcoin that suffering. Ether ETFs also struggled, currently showing seven straight weeks of nett outflows amounting $82.47 million last week only.
Among Ether ETFs:
-
Fidelity’s FETH led with $45.04 million in outflows
-
Grayscale’s ETHE saw $28.32 million pulled
-
Bitwise’s BITB dropped $5.65 million
-
VanEck’s ETHV lost $4.44 million
BlackRock’s ETHA was the only exception, winning $977,000—a surprising victory in a red-dominated week. With every passing week of uncertainty, Ether ETFs’ total nett asset value drops to $5.24 billion.
Experts point to rising macroeconomic worries—including inflation concerns, geopolitical risks, and revived trade tensions between the United States and China—as cause of the continuing volatility. ETFs linked to unstable assets like cryptocurrency are among the first to experience pullbacks given a prevailing “risk-off” attitude driving investor behaviour.
Some experts say, although the temporary disappointments, this might indicate a time of consolidation prior to a possible recovery. But, without a clear turnaround in sight, the next few weeks will be crucial for assessing investor mood.
Next week’s ETF flows will now take centre stage to help one decide if this is a transient correction or a longer-term negative move in the crypto ETF area.
