The Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) market saw significant fluctuations from March 10 to 14, 2025. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $838 million, with notable withdrawals from BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC. Ethereum spot ETFs also experienced a substantial outflow of $178 million.
According to Wu Blockchain, this follows a series of similar outflows observed from February 26 to March 17, 2025. Furthermore, 21Shares has announced the liquidation of two Bitcoin futures ETFs, signaling a shift in market dynamics.
Bitcoin ETF Market Experiences Fluctuations
Bitcoin ETFs, particularly IBIT from BlackRock and FBTC from Fidelity, saw significant net outflows last week. IBIT had a net outflow of $338 million, while FBTC experienced a $317 million outflow. This follows a volatile period from February 26, 2025, to March 17, 2025, as reported by Farside Data. On February 26, IBIT alone saw an outflow of $418.1 million, with BTC ETFs also showing a decline of $56 million. The trend continued with further fluctuations as IBIT experienced smaller outflows through early March. By March 10, IBIT recorded an outflow of $89.2 million. However, on March 17, the market showed minimal change, with a total market flow of $35.38 billion.
The price movements of these ETFs mirrored the trends in inflows and outflows. IBIT’s market price stood at $47.84 as of March 14, reflecting a slight decrease of -0.61%. Similarly, FBTC had a market price of $73.47, with a -0.62% daily change. Despite the outflows, the cumulative net inflow for Bitcoin ETFs remains significant, totaling $35.30 billion as of March 14, 2025.
21Shares to Liquidate Bitcoin Futures ETFs
In a related development, 21Shares US LLC announced the liquidation of two Bitcoin futures ETFs. These ETFs, the ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Ethereum Strategy ETF (ARKY) and ARK 21Shares Active On-Chain Bitcoin Strategy ETF (ARKC), are set to close by March 27, 2025. The decision follows a routine review to ensure the products align with the evolving digital asset landscape.
Shareholders of the ETFs can sell their holdings before the liquidation date. Those holding shares will receive liquidating distributions, which may result in capital gains or losses. 21Shares and its partner ARK Invest remain committed to advancing regulated crypto products in the U.S. market despite the ETF closures.
This liquidation is part of the broader trend of shifts in the crypto ETF market, as demand for Bitcoin futures ETFs fluctuates amid market uncertainty.
