- BTC traded lower as weak U.S. manufacturing data revived growth concerns.
The U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had a rough day on Tuesday as growth concerns and a sell-off in Nvidia (NVDA) dented market sentiment.
The 11 ETFs registered a cumulative net outflow of $287.8 million, the largest single-day tally since May 1, when the funds bled over $500 million, according to data tracked by Farside Investors.

Fidelity's FBTC led the outflows, registering $162.3 million in withdrawals. Grayscale's GBTC registered an outflow of $50.4 million and BITB and ARK lost $25 million and $33.6 million, respectively, with others accounting for the rest of the cumulative outflow. BlackRock's IBIT drew zero for the second straight trading day.
Bitcoin's price fell over 2.7% to $57,500 on Tuesday, reversing Monday's bounce. The losses came after the U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI printed below 50, indicating a continued contraction in the activity in August. The data revived growth fears, weighing over risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
"A miss in the manufacturing PMI rehashed fears of an economic slowdown, with Nvidia leading the sell-off, losing 9.54%," crypto OTC liquidity network Paradigm said in a Telegram broadcast.
At press time, BTC changed hands at $56,500, extending overnight losses and the futures tied to the S&P 500 traded 0.4% lower.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
