BlackRock’s IBIT Drove 90% of $225M Bitcoin ETF Reversal After 7-Day Buying Streak

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for roughly 90% of a $225 million net outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, ending a seven-day run of inflows and marking the group’s first negative session in more than a week.

The reversal snapped a stretch of sustained buying and returned the spot Bitcoin ETF complex to net redemptions, based on daily flow tallies published on Farside Investors’ Bitcoin ETF flow dashboard. The shift is a single-session move, not a confirmed trend break. For related coverage, see Bitcoin Falls Below $62,000 After Trump Says Iran MoU 'Is Over'.

Independent verification of the exact figures was limited at the time of writing, so the $225 million total and the seven-day streak should be read as reported rather than fully confirmed.

Why IBIT drove almost all of the reversal

The headline datapoint is concentration: BlackRock’s fund alone represented about 90% of the negative flow, leaving the remaining roughly 10% spread across every other issuer. That makes the session more a story about one fund than a broad exit across the ETF field. For related coverage, see Bitcoin Rises on CLARITY Act Progress as Coinbase, Circle Jump.

IBIT has repeatedly led the category on both inflow and outflow days, and recent reporting has again placed it at the front of the pack on daily volume and flows, as covered in coverage of IBIT’s daily leadership. A fund that large tends to set the direction for the aggregate number, in either direction.

Because a single product carried the move, the reversal says less about the wider issuer base than a smaller, more evenly distributed outflow would. BlackRock’s prominence across crypto products, from ETFs to its role in the OpenUSD stablecoin effort, keeps its flows under close watch.

What the end of the streak could signal next

Streak breaks matter in ETF flow coverage because they mark the point where consistent demand pauses. The prior run had built up over seven sessions, part of a stretch that reporting tied to the first multi-day inflow sequence since April.

This is a read on immediate flows, not a price forecast. A one-day reversal concentrated in a single fund can reflect routine rebalancing or profit-taking rather than a change in longer-term positioning, and the brief does not contain data to distinguish between those.

The near-term question is simply whether inflows resume in the following sessions or whether redemptions extend. That pattern of ETF demand has become a recurring lens for Bitcoin sentiment, similar to the attention around Japan’s move toward allowing Bitcoin ETFs as more markets weigh regulated access.
