U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $51.3 million in net outflows on Wednesday, ending a seven-day inflow streak that saw nearly $3 billion enter the funds. The reversal came despite BlackRock’s iShares fund attracting $150 million in fresh inflows, while Fidelity and Grayscale posted significant redemptions. Bitcoin showed muted reaction to the Fed’s 0.25% rate cut, trading around $117,800 with a slight daily gain.

Long-dormant Bitcoin whales holding assets since the Satoshi era have begun moving thousands of BTC worth over $234 million as the Federal Reserve’s critical rate decision approaches. While these early investors appear to be taking profits after Bitcoin’s surge above $100,000, institutional demand through ETFs continues to significantly outpace new supply.

read moreSEC Delays XRP & DOGE ETFs, Highlighting Crypto Hurdles
The U.S. SEC has delayed the approval process for XRP and Dogecoin ETFs, exposing the regulatory hurdles facing cryptocurrencies outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Franklin XRP ETF decision has been pushed to November 2025, marking the second extension since its March filing, while the Dogecoin ETF faces a shorter delay until mid-September. The regulatory treatment differs significantly between these products – XRP ETFs follow the standard ’33 Act framework used by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, while the Dogecoin product utilizes an alternative Investment Company Act of 1940 structure as a Registered Investment Company. This regulatory arbitrage explains why Dogecoin, despite being created as a joke, might trade in the U.S. before XRP, which has more legal precedent and ecosystem development.

REX and Osprey have cleared a critical regulatory hurdle with multiple cryptocurrency ETFs approved by the SEC, positioning them for launch as early as Friday. These products—including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, XRP, and even a Trump-themed ETF—benefited from being structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which offers a streamlined path to market compared to the Securities Act of 1933 used for spot Bitcoin ETFs. While these funds move forward, the SEC continues to postpone decisions on competing Ether, Solana, and XRP ETFs, highlighting the evolving and selective regulatory landscape for crypto investment vehicles. This approval marks another significant step in the institutional adoption of digital assets through regulated channels.

Cryptocurrency markets turned cautious over the weekend with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index falling to 44, indicating a shift from Neutral to Fear territory. Data from Santiment shows traders are pulling money out of smaller altcoins and concentrating on large-cap assets like Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP. While Bitcoin has declined 5% over the past month, Ether has gained 9%, highlighting mixed performance among major tokens. The Altcoin Season Index stands at 56, technically meeting the threshold for altcoin season, though sentiment remains divided. Some traders view the current sell-off as a final shakeout before a potential rally, while others warn against relying too heavily on historical cycle patterns. Analysts are watching upcoming spot crypto ETF launches as a potential catalyst for renewed momentum in smaller coins.
read moreEthereum ETFs Bleed $787M as Bitcoin Funds Gain
Ethereum ETFs experienced massive outflows of $787.6 million from September 2-5, with Thursday’s $446.8 million representing the largest single-day withdrawal since August. Grayscale’s ETHE and Fidelity’s FETH saw the biggest outflows, while BlackRock’s ETHA showed mixed flows. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $250.3 million over the same period. Experts explain this divergence through Ethereum’s structural limitations—including staking restrictions that make ETH exposure ‘less compelling’ during risk-off periods—and its perception as a ‘higher-beta’ asset that gets sold first when risk appetite decreases. Despite the outflows, analysts maintain that Ethereum’s fundamentals remain strong, characterizing the movement as profit-taking rather than a loss of conviction.
