According to Sosovalue‘s weekly inflow/outflow metrics for Dec.23 to Dec. 27, the 12 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs had a combined net outflow of $387.45 million, as BTC‘s price dropped below $95,000.

Fidelity‘s FBTC led the outflows with $182.96 million, followed by Bitwise’s BITB with $59.54 million in outflows. Other major bitcoin ETFs including Invesco’s BTCO, Blackrock‘s IBIT, and Ark 21shares’ ARKB registered outflows of $39.71 million, $21.11 million, and $16.42 million respectively.

Bitcoin ETFs closed out the week with a total net asset value of $106.68 billion.

The narrative on ethereum ETFs was in contrast with a weekly net inflow of $349 million. Blackrock’s ETHA brought in a weekly net inflow of $181.82 million and Fidelity’s FETH also had a positive weekly inflow of $160.33 million. Bitwise’s ETHW rounded up the weekly inflows with $7.15 million.
