U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows, totaling over $226 million on Thursday, marking the third consecutive day of outflows this week.

Fidelity’s FBTC saw the largest withdrawal at $106 million, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC with $62 million, and Ark Invest’s ARKB with $53 million.

Conversely, BlackRock’s IBIT recorded a net inflow of $18 million. Other ETFs, including those from Valkyrie, Franklin Templeton, Hashdex, and WisdomTree, had no notable activity.

Despite Wednesday being the only day this week with net inflows amounting to $100 million, the past three days have seen a net withdrawal of $564 million from Bitcoin ETFs.

This pattern mirrors the outflows of $1.2 billion over six days at the end of April.

The outflows coincide with a volatile week for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, influenced by a key U.S. inflation report and the Federal Reserve meeting.

U.S. inflation came in lower than expected, causing Bitcoin prices to briefly rise to $70,000 before falling back under $67,000 as traders took profits.
