Bitcoin ETFs Bleed for 4th Straight Day, But Big Players Still Buying

Bitcoin ETFs Bleed for 4th Straight Day, But Big Players Still Buying

Despite $196 million in outflows from Bitcoin ETFs on Aug. 5, institutions continue to accumulate the digital asset, hinting at long-term bullish confidence.

Key Notes

  • Bitcoin spot ETFs face four consecutive days of net outflows.
  • Institutions continue buying the dip, with Vaultz Capital adding 47.85 BTC today.
  • Analysts remain divided on short-term price action but see long-term growth.

The US Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net outflows of $196 million on Aug. 5, extending a losing streak to four consecutive days. This exodus comes as Bitcoin BTC $114 963 24h volatility: 1.8% Market cap: $2.29 T Vol. 24h: $32.30 B started the month with a bloodbath, recording a 3.5% weekly loss.

Fidelity’s FBTC led the ETF outflow with $99.11 million pulled out, followed by BlackRock’s IBIT, which saw over $77 million in withdrawals. 

This outflow streak follows a successful July for these funds, which recorded only five outflows in the month. Bitcoin is currently facing a cooling off in price after hitting an all-time high of $123,100 on July 14.

Institutions Accumulate as Retail Sentiment Wavers

Despite the selling pressure from  Bitcoin ETFs, data suggests that large-scale investors are buying the dip. On Aug. 5 alone, corporate firms added roughly 630 BTC (worth over $70 million) into their treasuries.

Earlier today, UK-listed digital asset manager, Vaultz Capital, disclosed the purchase of an additional 47.85 BTC, raising its total stash to 117.85 BTC.

Analysts Still Optimistic

At the time of writing, the largest cryptocurrency is trading around $114,000, slightly recovering from weekend lows of $112,044. While some analysts are lowering short-term targets, others remain confident in Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory.

Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee recently reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin could hit $250,000 in 2025. Speaking on the Coin Stories podcast, Lee explained that institutional interest remains a key driver of future price appreciation.

He even suggested that the four-year halving cycle may no longer apply due to mounting corporate adoption. This aligns with Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan’s recent prediction that 2026 could be the true breakout year for Bitcoin, shifting away from the historical four-year cyclic pattern.

🚨DID I HEAR SUPER CYCLE???

The four-year cycle is dead and adoption killed it. @Matt_Hougan says we're going higher in 2026.

Early profit takers will be left behind!!!

Meanwhile, public voices like Robert Kiyosaki have also suggested long-term price optimism for Bitcoin. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author recently claimed Bitcoin made becoming a millionaire “so easy.”

ANYONE CAN BECOME a MILLIONAiRE: I can’t believe how Bitcoin makes becoming rich so essy.

Bitcoin is Pure Genius asset design. No mess no stress. Just set it and forget it.

I made my first million in real estate. That took hard work, lots of risk, lots of money, lots of…

— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) August 6, 2025

He praised Bitcoin’s structure as “pure genius” and revealed that his small investment years ago had turned into several million dollars.

However, analysts remain divided on the short-term BTC price outlook as traders find which crypto will explode next. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes sees a potential dip to $100,000 due to macro headwinds before a rebound .

Ethereum and its ecosystem are set to remain in the spotlight in 2025, driven by accelerating institutional adoption and network upgrades. As the world's leading smart contract platform, ETH has benefited from billions of dollars in ETF inflows, fueling a steady price climb. Potential upside catalysts include the Pectra upgrade to enhance performance, large-scale tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), explosive growth in Layer 2 solutions such as Base, and the reduction in circulating supply of the burn mechanism. Ecosystem tokens like Lido (the leader in liquid staking) and Ethena (an innovator in synthetic stablecoins) are also poised to benefit. Institutional participation from major players like BlackRock further boosts demand for DeFi and staking products. As a result, the overall market cap of the ecosystem is expected to continue growing, attracting increasing amounts of mainstream capital.
