US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded about $635 million in net outflows Thursday as the cryptocurrency traded near the estimated cost basis of the funds' Bitcoin holdings. The Oct. 22 withdrawals were the largest daily outflow since June 25 and reversed nearly 60% of the inflows the funds attracted over the previous three trading sessions, per SoSoValue data. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the selling with $254 million in withdrawals, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $217 million. Together, the two funds accounted for approximately 74.2% of the day's net outflows. ARK Invest's ARKB shed another $109 million, while Grayscale's GBTC and Bitwise's BITB lost $30 million and $27 million, respectively. Morgan Stanley's MSBT was the only fund to attract fresh capital, recording about $2 million in inflows.
