Bitcoin ETFs record combined $1.2B in outflows in 8 days
United States’ 12 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) showed a combined net outflow of $1.2 billion in eight days.
On Sept. 9, Bloomberg data showed investors took out about $1.2 billion from the 12 listed spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) ETFs from Aug. 30 to Sept. 6. This marks the ETFs’ longest net outflow run since they were listed in January.

This comes as Bitcoin prices struggled in the first week of September, going from a high of $64,668 on Aug. 26 to a low of $53,491 on Sept. 7. This represents a 17.28% drop in just two weeks. However, analysts say that BTC has historically shown poor performance in September.
BTC price losses mimic a standard “Rektember”
The words “Rektember” and “Uptober” are commonly used in crypto, as digital asset prices often “rekt” in September and “get some relief” in October.
At the beginning of September 2024, Bitcoin hit a two-week low , shedding more than 2% at the beginning of the month. However, analysts still believe in a potential upside for the digital asset.
Despite its short-term dips, financial adviser Suze Orman believes everyone should own Bitcoin and that the next generation of investors could influence the future of crypto.
In a CNBC interview, Orman said that as younger people make more money, BTC will be one of their investments of choice, and that will cause the asset’s price to go up.
