BlackRock's IBIT did almost the entire Friday job. [Farside Investors](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) logged a **−$56.2 million** net outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on **August 14**, and **−$55.5 million** of that sat in a single column. The cash week that just ended had four red sessions and one thin green day.

## Three columns, one large debit

Friday's sheet is a narrow mix. IBIT redeemed **−$55.5 million**. Fidelity's FBTC redeemed **−$6.8 million**. Bitwise's BITB created **+$6.1 million**. ARK 21Shares' ARKB, Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, VanEck, WisdomTree, Morgan Stanley, and both Grayscale lines printed **0.0**. [Farside's same-day post](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2088471982396293173) matches the table: total **−56.2**, IBIT **−55.5**, FBTC **−6.8**, BITB **+6.1**.

Thursday had been a nine-column session at **−$131.1 million**, with ARKB and FBTC carrying the large reds and IBIT only **−$5.7 million**. Friday flipped that mix. The largest product in the complex did the work, and nine names sat out. Add the two reds and you get **$62.3 million** of redemptions against BITB's **$6.1 million** creation.

Those rows count authorized-participant creations and redemptions of ETF shares, the primary-market pipe, not every stock-exchange print. Across August 10–14 the complex is about **$385.2 million** net negative: [Monday's −$144.6 million](/en/posts/2026-08-11-etf-outflow-145m-aug-10-streak-ends/), [Tuesday's +$7.8 million](/en/posts/2026-08-12-etf-inflow-8m-aug-11-ibit-carries/), [Wednesday's −$61.1 million](/en/posts/2026-08-13-etf-outflow-61m-aug-12-ibit-fbtc/), Thursday's **−$131.1 million**, and Friday's **−$56.2 million**. From the August 3 reopen through Friday it is still about **$480.1 million** net positive, because the [first week's $865.3 million](/en/posts/2026-08-09-etf-inflow-102m-aug-7-fifth-day/) of creations is still the larger pile. Lifetime net creations on the Farside table are about **$51.9 billion**.

[BlackRock's IBIT product page](https://www.ishares.com/us/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust-etf) put Friday's NAV at **$35.58**, down **0.80%** on the day, with net assets near **$47.0 billion**. That NAV move tracks the coin. It is a different figure from Farside's creation and redemption line.

Ethereum products printed a blank sheet. [Farside's ETH table](https://farside.co.uk/eth/) shows **0.0** across every name on August 14, after Thursday's small **+$5.9 million** creation day.

## Friday locked $63,048 after a $1,086 range

Settled Crypto.com 1D closes mark the cash week. Monday **August 10** closed **$63,974.44**. Tuesday **$63,592.62**. Wednesday **$63,488.10**. Thursday **$63,483.46**. Friday settled **$63,048.33**, about **$435** under Thursday, after a session that ran **$62,536.37–$63,622.86**. The low already sat in the mid-$62,500s that [Cointelegraph](https://cointelegraph.com/markets/bitcoin-price-drops-trader-warns-weekly-close-may-spark-more-losses) flagged during the Wall Street open, while U.S. stocks were still firmer. From the prior Friday's **$64,927.10** settle, the week gave back about **$1,879**.

Saturday's candle is still forming. BTC/USDT opened the UTC day at Friday's settle and, as of about **09:36 UTC** on **August 15**, last traded near **$62,986** on [Crypto.com Exchange](https://crypto.com/exchange), with the open session so far ranging about **$62,905–$63,194**. That Saturday mark is **intraday**; the August 15 1D bar does not settle until 00:00 UTC. Ethereum settled Friday at **$1,882.21** after Thursday's **$1,886.44**, and traded near **$1,879** at the same snapshot.

U.S. wrappers do not create or redeem shares on Saturday or Sunday. The next Farside line cannot print until the **August 17** cash session.

## Chart: a softer Friday settle, Fear still in the 30s

The series pairs settled daily closes (and Saturday's still-forming candle) with the [Crypto Fear & Greed Index](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/). Price stepped down through the week of mixed-to-red product days, Friday locked just above $63,000, and Saturday's open session is holding that handle while the mood gauge ticks up five points inside Fear.



*BTC price vs the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, August 8–15. Friday settled $63,048 after a $1,086 session range; Saturday's still-open candle is holding near that print. The August 15 point is an intraday read as of ~09:36 UTC, not a settled close. Sources: [Crypto.com Exchange](https://crypto.com/exchange) 1D candles and [alternative.me](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/).*

The composite sat at **29** (Fear) on Thursday and Friday, then **34** (still Fear) on Saturday. A five-point lift on a weekend does not rewrite the product table. The cash week already printed.

## The week on the board

Four of five cash sessions this week were red. Friday's new line is a **−$56.2 million** debit carried almost entirely by IBIT, a settle at **$63,048**, a Saturday tape parked near that print, and Fear at **34**. This week's **$385.2 million** of net redemptions leaves August through Friday about **$480 million** net positive only because the first week's creations were larger. This describes what printed and where the tape is now. It is not a forecast and not financial advice.
