What are Bitcoin ETF flows?
A Bitcoin ETF issues and cancels shares to match demand. When investors buy more shares than they sell, an authorised participant asks the fund to create new ones and delivers cash or BTC for them; the fund then holds that much more Bitcoin. When selling wins, shares are redeemed and the fund releases or sells BTC. The day’s net flow is creations minus redemptions, valued in US dollars.
Flows are different from trading volume. Most ETF trading is investors swapping shares with each other on the exchange, which moves no Bitcoin at all. Only creations and redemptions change what the fund holds, which is why flows, not volume, are watched as the measure of real demand.
How to read the flow data
- Direction and streaks. One day says little. A run of inflow days, shown in the stat strip, signals steady buying; a run of outflows, steady selling.
- Size against the trend. Compare a day with the 7 and 30-day totals and the chart’s range stats. A $500 million day is large in a quiet month and routine in a strong one.
- Which funds. The daily table shows whether a move is broad or one fund. Outflows from a high-fee fund matched by inflows to a cheaper one are investors switching, not leaving.
- Against the price. The chart overlays the BTC price. Inflows that keep coming while the price falls show dip buying; outflows during a rally show profit taking.
- Holdings, not just dollars. Dollar flows move with the price. The BTC held per fund and its 7-day change show how many coins actually came in or left.
Spot vs futures Bitcoin ETFs
Spot ETFs hold bitcoin itself through a custodian, so their value tracks the BTC price minus the fee. Every fund in the daily flows table is a spot ETF. Futures ETFs such as ProShares’ BITO hold CME bitcoin futures instead. They roll contracts each month, and when later futures cost more than spot that roll cost makes them trail bitcoin over time. They are listed in the comparison table for completeness.
Bitcoin ETF fees compared
Most spot Bitcoin ETFs charge between 0.15% and 0.25% a year, taken from the fund’s assets day by day. A fee waiver can bring one to zero for a set period or up to an asset limit. The exception is Grayscale’s GBTC at 1.5%: Grayscale launched the cheaper Mini Trust (BTC) beside it. The fees panel above ranks every fund and marks the asset-weighted average; at the same fee, size and trading volume decide how tight the spread is when you buy or sell.
Why GBTC lost assets
GBTC began as a private trust in 2013 and converted into an ETF on the day spot ETFs launched, keeping its 1.5% fee. Holders who had been locked in for years could finally redeem, and many moved to funds charging a sixth of that. That is why GBTC shows the largest cumulative outflow on this page while total Bitcoin ETF flows remain strongly positive.
A short history of US Bitcoin ETFs
- October 2021. ProShares launches BITO, the first US Bitcoin ETF, holding futures rather than bitcoin.
- 10 January 2024. The SEC approves eleven spot Bitcoin ETFs, which start trading the next day.
- July 2024. Grayscale launches the Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) at 0.15%.
- July 2025. The SEC allows in-kind creations and redemptions, so authorised participants can deliver BTC instead of cash.
iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is now the largest of them, with $67.10B in assets.
Where the data comes from
Daily flows are each fund’s change in shares outstanding valued at its net asset value, from issuer disclosures; holdings, assets and premiums come from the funds’ daily files, and prices and volume from US exchange data. Figures update every few minutes during US hours and fill in after the close as issuers report. When a fund’s published holdings are more than ten days old, the table estimates them from its last filing plus the net flows since, at each day’s BTC price, and marks the figure “est.”.
Bitcoin ETF FAQ
Live answers use the latest reported day · updated
What were Bitcoin ETF flows today?
The latest reported day, Wed 14 Oct 2026, saw a net outflow of $261.4M across US spot Bitcoin ETFs (outflow day). Net flows were −$374.1M over 7 days and +$1.64B over 30 days. Funds report after the US close, so a day’s figures fill in during the evening and the next morning.
How much Bitcoin do ETFs hold?
US spot Bitcoin ETFs hold about 1.26M BTC, 6.02% of the 21 million BTC that will ever exist. IBIT alone holds 803.8K BTC. Together the funds manage $106.70B.
What is the largest Bitcoin ETF?
iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), from BlackRock, is the largest Bitcoin ETF with $67.10B in assets, about 63% of the total. FBTC ($14.92B) and GBTC ($10.30B) follow.
Which Bitcoin ETF has the lowest fee?
VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) has the lowest listed fee at 0.00% a year (a fee waiver; check when it ends). Most spot funds charge 0.20% to 0.25%; GBTC is the most expensive at 1.50%.
What is a spot Bitcoin ETF?
A spot Bitcoin ETF is an exchange-traded fund that holds bitcoin itself and tracks its price. You buy and sell its shares in a brokerage account like any stock, and the fund’s custodian holds the coins, so there are no wallets or private keys to manage. Spot Bitcoin ETFs started trading in the US on 11 January 2024.
What do Bitcoin ETF inflows and outflows mean?
An inflow means investors bought more ETF shares than they sold, so new shares were created and the fund took in cash or BTC to back them. An outflow means shares were redeemed and the fund released BTC or sold it. Net flow is a fund’s creations minus redemptions for the day, in US dollars, and is the clearest daily read on institutional demand.
When are Bitcoin ETF flows reported?
Each issuer publishes its shares outstanding and holdings after the US market closes at 4pm New York time. Most funds report the same evening; a few post the next morning, so the latest day can show as pending for a while. The table on this page fills in fund by fund as reports arrive.
Do ETF flows move the Bitcoin price?
They can. Large creations mean real BTC is bought for the funds, and long streaks of inflows have lined up with strong rallies. The link is loose day to day: flows often follow price rather than lead it, and derivatives markets move Bitcoin far more within the day. Read flows together with funding rates and open interest. Not investment advice.
How many Bitcoin ETFs are there in the US?
This page tracks 11 US spot Bitcoin ETFs that report daily flows, from BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Bitwise, ARK 21Shares, VanEck, CoinShares, Franklin Templeton, Invesco Galaxy and WisdomTree, plus the ProShares futures-based ETF (BITO), which holds bitcoin futures rather than bitcoin.
Is a Bitcoin ETF better than buying Bitcoin?
It depends on what you need. An ETF fits a brokerage or retirement account, needs no wallet and is covered by securities rules, but it charges a yearly fee, trades only in US market hours and can’t be withdrawn as BTC. Holding BTC directly costs nothing to keep, trades around the clock and is yours to move, but you are responsible for keeping it safe.
