Amid CPI report release, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF sees $213 Million in outflows

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded its seventh consecutive day of withdrawals on Monday, losing $213.2 million as US spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their slide. The fund, the largest of its kind by assets, has shed $1.66 billion since October 30, according to Farside Investors data.

The firm’s Ether vehicle, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), added to the damage with a $119.3 million exit. Between them, the two products lost about $332.5 million in one session. Traders appeared to be positioning cautiously before the Consumer Price Index release, a reading that could sway bets on another Federal Reserve rate increase.

Ether funds across the market suffered even more than their Bitcoin counterparts. Outflows from US spot Ether ETFs climbed to roughly $185 million, the heaviest daily drain since October 6.

Bitcoin funds actually bled less than they had a session earlier. Friday saw net outflows of $411.92 million, based on SoSoValue figures reported by TokenPost. IBIT made up $403 million of that, while Fidelity’s FBTC pulled in $42.82 million. Taken together, the wider Bitcoin ETF market lost $201 million, helped slightly by $22 million of fresh money into the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT). Across the last six trading days, roughly $1.5 billion has left these funds.

Net withdrawals for 2026 have reached $1.1 billion, a sharp contrast with the roughly $25 billion in net inflows these funds had gathered by early November in both 2024 and 2025.

Meanwhile, BlackRock Canadian arm, BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited, will pay a special cash distribution next month to holders of the iShares Canadian Real Return Bond Index ETF (XRB).

Real return bonds in the portfolio are maturing, and Ottawa stopped issuing new ones in November 2022. The payout should equal about 14% of the portfolio, though inflation readings could move that number. Unitholders registered on December 1, 2026, will receive the cash on December 4, 2026, with exact amounts due in a separate notice on November 18.
