Recent trading days have witnessed over US$700 million in net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs. Bitwise CIO Says Investment Advisors Adopting BTC ETFs Faster Than Any Fund in History
A brief respite occurred with US$34.6 million in net inflows, despite missing data from major funds like IBIT.
Matt Hougan claims Bitcoin ETFs are adopted faster than any in history, overshadowed by larger investor purchases.
Investment advisors’ allocations are significant, making Bitcoin ETFs among the fastest-growing despite their small share of total inflows.
As reported earlier, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing ongoing losses, with the past few trading days seeing over US$700 million (AU$1,046M) in net outflows.
According to data from Farside, this seems to have stopped for the moment, with US$34.6 million (AU$52 million) more coming into the funds than leaving them – based on available data, note that at the time of writing, data for IBIT (by far the largest fund) and BTCO, BRRR, HODL and BTCW are not available.

Bitcoin ETFs Fastest Adoption in ETF History
And if Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan is to be believed, those outflows shouldn’t distract us from the success of these funds. As Hougan puts it:
Hougan explained that the IBIT ETF, for example, has received US$1.45 billion (AU$2.2 bn) in net flows from investment advisors, which in another post macro strategist Jim Bianco had considered “small” in comparison to the US$46 billion (AU$69.2 bn) total inflow into Bitcoin ETFs.

However, Hougan countered:
He added that if we isolate the flows from investment advisors and exclude other Bitcoin ETFs, IBIT ranks as the second fastest-growing ETF launched this year out of over 300.
Investment Managers Are Heavily Allocating to Funds
The only ETF surpassing IBIT in growth is KLMT, an ESG ETF with a US$2 billion (AU$2 bn) seed from a single investor and minimal trading activity. Thus, while investment managers contribute a minor share to the overall Bitcoin ETF market, their impact is significant within the context of new ETF growth.
President of the ETF Store Nate Geraci had to add his “simple take on the adoption of spot btc ETFs”, by saying that the adoption has been remarkably strong and that investment advisors are actively allocating to these ETFs.
