BTC and ETH ETFs Lose Nearly $1B Amid Crypto Market Downturn
On Tuesday, August 19, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum funds lost nearly $1 billion as investors grew pessimistic following a market price decline.
According to Farside Investors, net outflows from BTC ETFs totaled $523 million — more than four times Monday’s figure. ETH ETFs also suffered heavy losses, with $422 million withdrawn, twice as much as the previous day.
Fidelity led the outflows on Tuesday: investors pulled $247 million from its Bitcoin ETF FBTC and more than $156 million from its Ethereum ETF FETH.
Grayscale Investments also faced significant withdrawals, with $116 million exiting the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) and $122 million from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).
Over the past three trading days, investors have collectively withdrawn more than $1.3 billion from crypto ETFs, coinciding with a weekly correction in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices of 8.3% and 10.8%, respectively.
Although the three-day outflow pales compared to record-breaking ETF inflows seen in 2025, the losses highlight a notable shift in investor sentiment amid falling prices. On Wednesday, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index flipped to “fear,” scoring 44 points. This marked a turn from an extended period of optimism, pointing to growing caution among investors.
