Fidelity Withdraws $46.8 Million from FBTC Amid Bitcoin ETF Price Declines

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2026-08-13Last updated on 2026-08-13

Abstract

The mid-week session saw another shift in cryptocurrency ETF flow dynamics. Bitcoin once again lost ground due to resurgent share redemptions in two of the market's largest funds, while Ethereum quietly attracted fresh capital. Smaller altcoin categories remained unchanged. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $61.16 million, entirely attributable to Fidelity and BlackRock. Fidelity's FBTC saw a larger outflow of $46.82 million, and BlackRock's IBIT added $14.34 million to the outflow. No other Bitcoin ETF reported a net inflow. This offset a modest inflow from the previous day, exacerbating the volatile demand pattern seen throughout the week. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs finished the session with a net inflow of $7.38 million. Fresh capital primarily went into BlackRock's ETHA fund, providing a net gain after two days of weak or negative flows earlier in the week. The modest inflow occurred during a session where Bitcoin funds faced renewed pressure from the two major issuers. Activity in other segments was muted. ETFs for Solana, XRP, and HYPE recorded zero net flows for the day. The data indicated institutional demand for cryptocurrencies remained selective and restrained, with Bitcoin experiencing the most volatility, Ethereum attracting some incremental capital, and the altcoin ETF market largely on the sidelines.

The mid-week session brought another shift in the flow dynamics of cryptocurrency ETFs. Bitcoin once again lost ground due to the resumption of share redemptions in two of the market's largest funds, while Ether quietly attracted fresh capital, and smaller altcoin categories remained unchanged.

As a result, activity throughout the day was focused almost exclusively on the two largest cryptocurrency assets.

Fidelity and BlackRock Cause Outflows from Bitcoin ETFs

Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $61.16 million, with the entirety of this outflow attributed to Fidelity and BlackRock.

Fidelity's FBTC fund registered a more significant outflow of $46.82 million. BlackRock's IBIT fund added another $14.34 million to the outflow. No other bitcoin fund reported a net inflow during the session. The total trading volume for this category reached $1.19 billion, and the aggregate net assets at the close amounted to $77.37 billion.

This result offset the modest inflow of $4.89 million recorded the previous day and exacerbated the volatile dynamics that have characterized demand for Bitcoin ETFs throughout this week.

Ether Finds Buyers While Altcoin Funds Remain Dormant

Ether ETFs finished the week in the black with a net inflow of $7.38 million.

The fresh capital was directed primarily into BlackRock's ETHA ETF, providing this category with net growth after two sessions of weak or negative flows at the start of the week. The total trading volume for Ether ETFs was $358.38 million. The aggregate net asset value at the close was $10.53 billion.

The contrast with Bitcoin was notable both in volume and direction. The inflow into Ether was modest; however, it occurred during a session when Bitcoin funds faced renewed pressure from two major issuers.

Activity in other segments was subdued.

ETFs for Solana, XRP, and HYPE recorded zero net flows for the day. Existing shares could still change hands in the secondary market, but no new ETF shares were issued or redeemed on a net basis.

Wednesday's data indicated that institutional demand for cryptocurrency remained selective and restrained. Bitcoin still experienced the most significant fluctuations, Ether managed to attract additional capital, and the altcoin ETF market largely remained on the sidelines.

Panic at One of the Most Popular Cryptocurrency Wallets: Some Users May Be in Danger

Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor announced a data breach at a third-party logistics provider, exposing order information for thousands of customers. The incident affected a portion of new customers who received orders within 90 days before August 8, 2026, primarily in countries including the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal. Data for over 13,000 customers was compromised, with 11,742 fully exposed and 1,947 partially exposed. The leaked information includes customer names, delivery addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Trezor emphasized that its own systems, hardware wallets, and sensitive user data providing access to crypto assets were not affected. The breach was limited due to a 90-day data retention policy, and all affected customers have been individually notified. However, the exposed personal data could enable more convincing and targeted phishing attacks. Trezor strongly urged users to remain highly vigilant against suspicious messages claiming to be from the company or other crypto services. The company specifically warned users never to enter wallet recovery seeds or passphrases on any website or share them with anyone.

Trezor Announces Data Leak of Over 13,000 Customers Due to ShipMonk Hack

Trezor has reported a data breach affecting 13,689 of its customers due to a hack of its logistics partner, ShipMonk. The incident impacted customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received orders in the 90 days prior to August 8th. Trezor emphasized its own systems and devices were not compromised, but the leaked data could facilitate more sophisticated phishing attacks against affected users. Full data for 11,742 customers was exposed, including name, email, phone number, and delivery address. Partial data (name, city, and email) for 1,947 others was also accessed. ShipMonk stored the delivery information, and Trezor noted the incident was limited by ShipMonk's policy to delete or anonymize order data 90 days after delivery. This is Trezor's first breach since 2013 involving customer phone numbers and physical addresses. Private keys, wallet backups, and devices remain secure. All affected customers have been notified. Trezor is investigating with ShipMonk, which has secured the affected systems. In response, Trezor announced plans for an anonymous delivery feature in the EU by September 2026 and in the US by year-end, aiming to minimize personal data collection through pseudonyms, automated pickup points, and post-delivery data deletion.

Ukraine Urged Not to Push Crypto Business Abroad

On August 13, Alexey Semenyuk, head of Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission, emphasized that regulating the crypto market must protect users while preserving the benefits for businesses operating legally in the country. He argued the key questions are where this business is legally based, pays taxes, and how Ukrainian users are protected. Citing Chainalysis's 2024-2025 data, Ukraine ranks high in global crypto adoption, with a 52% annual increase in received digital assets, reaching $206.3 billion. Semenyuk stated that legalization should allow Ukrainians to use authorized service providers and enable companies to operate domestically under clear rules for activities like buying, selling, exchanging, storing, and staking cryptocurrencies. He highlighted that users need to know who provides the service, if they are authorized, the rules they must follow, and where to seek redress. He also pointed to the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) as a strategic direction, aiming to merge virtual asset technologies with traditional finance for new investment products and capital-raising models. A separate challenge is the interaction between crypto companies and banks, which requires a legal market framework to resolve. Semenyuk stressed the need for a balanced approach: excessive softness risks users, while over-regulation could push businesses abroad. The goal is a regulated market where one can legally work, invest, and launch products while being protected. In September 2025, the Ukrainian parliament approved in its first reading a draft law "On Virtual Asset Markets" to define the status and taxation of crypto assets.

Lack of Exact Date Creates Chaos Around Next SpaceX Stock Unlock

The absence of a precise date has created confusion around the next unlock of SpaceX shares, with major financial publications reporting conflicting dates for the release of up to 319 million additional shares. Motley Fool suggested August 21, CNBC cited August 20, a SpaceX tracking site mentioned approximately August 21, 2026, while Quartz (citing Barron's), TechTimes, and TradingKey pointed to August 12. The earliest guess of August 12 has already been disproven, as no increase in float occurred. The prospectus states the release is scheduled for the "70th day after the date of this prospectus." With SpaceX pricing its IPO on June 11, 2026, adding 70 days results in August 20. The discrepancy highlights the unusual and large-scale nature of this phased share lock-up, as noted by an investment firm executive. The exact timing and final number of shares (up to 319 million, excluding those held by affiliates) remain points of uncertainty.

US National Debt Set to Break WWII Record Soon

According to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, the national debt of the United States is approaching the record levels seen in 1946 and is projected to exceed that peak in 2030. The total debt currently stands at approximately $39.9 trillion. This figure includes securities held in federal accounts, which were not counted in the World War II-era debt calculations. The CBO forecasts the debt will reach 101% of GDP by the end of fiscal year 2026, surpass the 1946 peak of 106% shortly after, and climb to 120% by 2036. The current debt situation differs significantly from the post-World War II period. In 1944, wartime spending peaked at 42.7% of GDP but fell to 14% by 1949 as mobilization ended, aiding debt reduction. Today, there is no clear end date for high spending pressures. The CBO's latest projections estimate spending at 24.4% of GDP and revenues at 17.8% in 2036. The sustained spending growth is largely driven by rising costs for social security and healthcare benefits, fueled by an aging population. The number of Americans aged 65 and older is nearly three times greater than 50 years ago and is expected to increase by another 15% between 2027 and 2036.
