On February 18, 2026, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw significant net outflows totaling $133 million, with the BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, experiencing the largest single-day outflow at $84.19 million. Similarly, spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded net outflows of $41.83 million, highlighted by the BlackRock spot Ethereum ETF, ETHA, which saw a notable outflow of $29.93 million. This trend of net outflows comes amidst a broader market pullback in cryptocurrency, influenced by the Federal Reserve’s recent meeting minutes indicating potential future interest rate cuts, which may affect investor sentiment. Despite these outflows, institutional investors based in Abu Dhabi continue to hold substantial positions in BlackRock’s ETFs, reflecting their sustained confidence in long-term cryptocurrency investments.
