Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows of $51.28 million on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, ending a seven-day streak that had attracted nearly $3 billion.
Despite investors’ reaction to the Federal Reserve’s cautious tone on future rate cuts the day before, assets under management remain above $150 billion, according to SoSoValue. Spot Bitcoin closed Wednesday slightly down 0.14% at $116,586.99. The Fed’s 25-basis-point cut provided immediate relief, but projections indicated fewer reductions in 2025 and 2026 than expected.
At the press conference, Jerome Powell warned of persistent inflation and risks to the labor market, tempering some of the optimism. The perception that the central bank might be stricter than anticipated led to a mild correction in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Institutional strength in BTC remains evident. On Tuesday, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $292.3 million in inflows, led by the iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) from BlackRock, which gathered $209 million in a single day, reaching 763,699 BTC under custody.
Since its launch, IBIT has amassed $60 billion in net inflows and manages $88 billion in assets. Two U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs rank among the top 100 global funds, with combined assets exceeding $110 billion.
Meanwhile, Bitwise expanded its presence in a U.S. bank with over $1 trillion in assets, extending its Bitcoin ETF distribution to more than 10,000 wealth managers.
In contrast, Ethereum ETFs have seen consecutive outflows totaling $63.6 million over two days, mainly from BlackRock and Fidelity funds.
