In August 2026, the Invesco QQQ Trust, a major NASDAQ 100 ETF, experienced a significant net outflow of approximately $10.9 billion, including a record single-day withdrawal of $5.71 billion. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw about $1.92 billion in net inflows during the same period, reflecting a partial recovery in Bitcoin prices. Despite a brief rebound in early August, QQQ ended the month with substantial net outflows, continuing a trend from June. Bitcoin ETFs remain relatively new and smaller in scale, so sustained inflows would need to surpass previous outflows to indicate a lasting shift in investor sentiment.
