The rally in crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) lost momentum on Monday, April 27, as a steady run of capital inflows gave way to a broad pullback led by bitcoin products.
U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs snapped a nine-day inflow streak with a combined net outflow of $263.18 million, a notable shift in sentiment after more than a week of consistent demand. The withdrawals were spread across five funds, suggesting a broad pause rather than an isolated move.
Fidelity’s FBTC bore the brunt of the selling, shedding $150.40 million. Grayscale’s GBTC followed with $46.63 million in outflows, while Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB saw $43.30 million exit. Smaller but still meaningful redemptions were recorded in VanEck’s HODL at $14.11 million and Bitwise’s BITB at $8.75 million.
Blackrock’s IBIT, the category’s largest fund by assets, was notably unchanged, reporting no net flows on the day.
Despite the reversal, trading activity stayed robust. Total value traded across bitcoin ETFs reached $1.93 billion, underscoring continued investor engagement even as flows turned negative. Net assets across the segment closed at $101.23 billion.
Ether ETFs mirrored the cautious tone, though with a more mixed internal dynamic. The group posted a net outflow of $50.48 million.
Fidelity’s FETH led declines with $48.43 million in outflows, while Blackrock’s ETHA recorded $13.81 million in outflows. However, not all funds moved in tandem: Blackrock’s ETHB attracted $11.76 million, partially offsetting broader weakness.
Trading volumes in ether ETFs totaled $523.64 million, and net assets ended the session at $13.53 billion.
Elsewhere, activity was subdued. XRP ETFs saw no trading flows, with net assets holding steady at $1.06 billion. Solana ETFs also recorded no inflows or outflows, with assets remaining at $861.70 million.
The abrupt halt in bitcoin ETF inflows suggests the market is reassessing near-term positioning after a strong run. With outflows spread across multiple issuers, the move may reflect profit-taking or a shift toward caution as investors weigh macro and crypto-specific catalysts.
For now, the ETF market remains active but more selective, and the next sessions will indicate whether Monday’s pullback is temporary or part of a broader recalibration.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
