Bitcoin ETFs and ETPs are now sitting pretty with almost 1.5 million BTC in their vaults. That’s roughly 7% of the total Bitcoin supply.
A major milestone, guys, and a clear sign the big money’s eyeing digital gold with some serious respect.
The big league

Now, can you guess the heavyweight champ of this arena? BlackRock’s IBIT, holding 746,810 Bitcoin.
The competition? Not even in the same league. Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC follow, but way behind with about 199k and 178k BTC, respectively.
After these top dogs, the field thins fast. The likes of Grayscale Mini, Ark 21Shares ARKB, and Bitwise BITB all hover around 40-46 thousand BTC, with WisdomTree’s BTCW barely making a ripple at about 1,500 BTC.
Grayscale’s GBTC took a serious hit, losing 71% of its Bitcoin stash since it transformed from a trust into an ETF.
Money’s flowing out of GBTC and into the pockets of BlackRock’s IBIT and Grayscale Mini. That’s how the game’s played, where the money flows, the power follows.
ETF dominance
This strong U.S. ETF presence has a ripple effect, no pun intended. Canada’s Purpose Bitcoin BTCC, once a pioneer in North America with over 34,000 BTC, is bleeding Bitcoin, down by over 20,000 coins in just 18 months.
European giants like CoinShares COINXBE, Bitwise BTCE, and 21Shares ABTC follow the same trend, outflows outpace inflows, as the U.S. pours fuel on its BTC ETF dominance.
Yet, despite these shufflings, total Bitcoin locked in ETFs and ETPs is up more than 85% since January, reflecting the steady rise in Bitcoin prices. The market’s hungry, no doubt.
Cooling off?
But, there’s always a but, the last weeks show a slow down in Bitcoin ETF demand. August saw $301 million in outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, while Ether skyrocketed with almost $4 billion flowing into its products.
Solana and XRP got their share too. Whales are offloading chunks of Bitcoin, swapping it for Ether, signaling a possible rotation in the crypto game.
Prices dipped to $107,000 at one point but bounced back over $110,000, leaving traders wondering if the bull run’s high tide is coming or just a routine cooling-off.
