Hedge funds sell, sovereign wealth funds buy as bitcoin ETF holdings reshaped

Institutional selling of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds during a bitcoin downturn was concentrated among a small number of hedge funds and banks, according to an analysis of 13F filings. Total holdings by 13F filers fell about 14 percent from end-September 2025 to end-June 2026, while others increased holdings. Morgan Stanley’s wealth unit and Abu Dhabi investors were among buyers. Galaxy said reduced arbitrage profitability drove selling as the futures basis narrowed.

Bitcoin ETF flows track price trends rather than signal direction, analysis finds

Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund flows appear to follow existing price trends rather than act as a leading indicator, an analysis found. DWF Labs reviewed 694 trading days since spot ETFs launched in January 2024. Outflows occurred in 7 of 8 instances when bitcoin fell 15 percent or more, while inflows were recorded in all 9 periods of gains of 15 percent or more. The correlation with prior five-day moves was 0.54, versus 0.03 for subsequent five-day moves.

Thailand allows spot crypto ETFs, but approval this year uncertain

Thailand has implemented a framework allowing spot exchange-traded funds tied to bitcoin and ether, but no asset manager has submitted a formal application. The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission said several firms asked for preliminary consultations, but none moved to the filing stage. The SEC said it was too early to judge whether the first ETF could be approved this year, adding the timing could vary depending on applicant readiness, regulatory review and investor protection requirements.
