Bitcoin ETFs saw a surge in outflows last week, sending BTC prices to their lowest levels since the early August dump.
Bitcoin ETFs Record $706 Million Outflow This Week
According to statistics from Farside Investors and SpotOnChain , 11 US Bitcoin spot ETFs ended the trading day on September 6 with outflows reaching $170 million.

Specifically, most funds recorded outflow or no cash inflow, the strongest being Fidelity's FBTC with outflow of $85.5 million, followed by Grayscale's GBTC with $52.9 million.
Thus, at the end of the first week of September, US Bitcoin ETFs had outflows of up to 706.1 million USD, despite no trading on September 2 due to Labor Day.

The situation became even more alarming when the chain of consecutive outflow days of BTC ETFs increased to 8, with only 2 days having a value below the hundreds of millions of USD mark. Notably, the largest outflow of that period was on September 3 with a value of -289 million USD , which was also the second largest outflow in the trading history of this financial product group, only behind the record of half a billion USD on May 1.
Bitcoin price last week corrected sharply from $58,000 to $52,500 in the early morning of September 7, meaning it is only one more drop away from the Dip of $49,000 on August 5.
