The US Bitcoin spot ETF market has carried its bearish momentum into June, recording substantial capital withdrawals during the first trading week of the month. The latest outflows come after a difficult May, as investor sentiment around Bitcoin continues to worsen amid strong macroeconomic uncertainty.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Record 1 Green Day In 15

According to data from SoSoValue, the Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded combined net outflows of approximately $1.72 billion between June 1 and June 5, as market prices tumbled to around $60,000. The negative performance follows May’s total net outflows of $2.43 billion, marking an extended period of capital flight from the investment funds. Over its last 15 trading sessions, the Bitcoin ETFs have registered just one day of positive net flow, i.e., a moderate $3.05 million on June 4, underscoring the dominant bearish sentiment among institutional investors.

Looking at individual performance, BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for the majority of the week’s withdrawals, after registering net outflows of $1.34 billion. Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $201.92 million in net redemptions, while Grayscale’s GBTC lost another $144.36 million. Other funds that experienced significant selling pressure include Invesco’s BTCO, Bitwise’s BITB, and ArkInvest/21Shares, with respective net withdrawals of  $12.65 million, $15.57 million, and $49.71 million.

Meanwhile, Grayscale’s BTC, Valkyrie’s BRRR, WisdomTree’s BTCW, and Hashdex’s DEFI ended the week with no net flows. Only two investment funds attracted relevant fresh capital as Van Eck’s HODL recorded net inflows of $4.22 million, while MSBT added $35.05 million. At the time of writing, cumulative net inflows into Bitcoin Spot ETFs total $53.94 billion. Meanwhile, total net assets now stand at $75.12 billion, down 20.19% in value over the last week.

Ethereum ETFs Lose Another $168M Amid Market Turmoil

In line with their Bitcoin counterparts, the Ethereum spot ETFs also opened their June account with significant investor withdrawals. Over the last week, the funds collectively recorded net outflows of $168 million, while their combined net assets fell to $9.78 billion from $11.78 billion.

The latest figures suggest institutional investors are adopting a more cautious approach as they navigate an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic environment. At press time, Bitcoin is valued at $61,592, reflecting a modest 2.00% gain in the last day. Meanwhile, Ethereum is trading at $1,612 after rebounding from its cycle low around $1,500.

US Bitcoin Spot ETFs reported net outflows of $1.42 billion in the final week of May, extending the persistent negative trend observed throughout most of the month. The bearish performance by these investment funds aligns with Bitcoin’s price struggles, when the premier cryptocurrency failed to breach the key resistance of $82,000 around May before slipping into another correction.

Bitcoin ETFs See Persistent Red Across Second Half Of May

In analyzing the individual fund performances over the week, it is observed, in typical fashion, that selling pressure was concentrated among the largest issuers. According to data from SoSoValue, BlackRock’s IBIT led the outflows by a wide margin, with withdrawals exceeding deposits by $966.42 million.

Behind the market leader, Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC also registered significant capital flight, posting net outflows of $169.15 million and $175.09 million, respectively. Bitwise’s BITB also recorded moderate net outflows of $46.30 million, while other mid-tier funds such as Grayscale’s secondary product BTC and ARK Invest/21Shares’ ARKB saw smaller but negative flow balances in the $20–30 million range.

Meanwhile, minor net outflows of $5.59 million were observed in Valkyrie Investments’ BRRR, while Morgan Stanley posted a negligible withdrawal of around $966,650. On the other hand, several issuers, including VanEck’s HODL, Invesco’s BTCO, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, WisdomTree’s BTCW, and Hashdex’s DEFI, recorded no net flows, indicating a pause in both buying and selling activity.

From a daily flow perspective, the situation appears strongly bearish, with withdrawals consistently outpacing deposits. Between May 26 and 29, the Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net outflows of $333.71 million on Tuesday, $733.43 million on Wednesday, $228.88 million on Thursday, and $125.31 million on Friday.

This pattern reflects a broader monthly weakness as only 6 of 20 trading days in May recorded positive flows, while 14 closed in the red. Notably, every trading session in the second half of the month posted outflows, culminating in a total negative flow balance of $2.43 billion, the highest monthly net outflow recorded in 2026 and the largest since November 2025.

Nevertheless, the Bitcoin Spot ETFs market remains in a strong, resilient position, with cumulative net inflows of $55.66 billion since their launch in 2024. Meanwhile, their total net assets are valued at $94.17 billion, representing 6.38% of the Bitcoin market cap.

The 13 US Bitcoin Spot ETFs closed out last week with $1.26 billion in net withdrawals, amid significant price losses in the broader crypto market. Notably, data from SoSoValue shows this is the heaviest outflow from the Bitcoin ETF market since the last week in January, when investors’ activity resulted in a net loss of $1.49 billion.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Register Six Consecutive Red Days

More details of the last week performance shows the Bitcoin Spot ETFs market recorded a starggering $648.64 million in net outflows on Monday, representing it’s largest daily net withdrawal since January 29. Meanwhile, the following days recorded lesser but significantly negative performance such as $331.05 million on Tuesday, $70.47 million on Wednesday, $100.82 million on Thursday, and $105.19 million on Friday.

Taken together, the Bitcoin Spot ETFs translates to six consecutive trading days of net outflows while 80% of the last 10 days are also red days. Looking at individual fund performances, BlackRock IBIT investors withdrew $1.01 billion more than deposited, as its cumulative inflows reached $64.77 billion. The dominant market leader now maintains total net assets of $61.09 billion, i.e 6x its closest competitor.

Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FBTC and Ark/21 Shares’ ARKB also experienced significant net outflows at $111.5 million and $106.81 million, respectively. ETFs including Bitwise’s BITB, VanEck’s HODL, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Invesco’s BTCO, and Franklin Templeton’s EZBC all registered capital outlows ranging between $3m – $10m. Notably, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT, the market’s new comer recorded the only positive performance with net inflows valued at $1.11. Other funds such as Grayscale GBTC & BTC, Hashdex’s DEFI, and Bitwise’s BTCW all registered zero net activity.

Following this performance record, the Bitcoin Spot ETFs have now recorded a combined $1.00 billion net outflows in May. Meanwhile, their total cumulative net inflows stands at $57.08 billion, with their total net assets valued at $98.87 billion.

Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.

Bitcoin price struggles over the last week were also in its ETF market, as the Bitcoin spot ETFs posted their first net outflows in a month. Before this trading session, these investment funds had experienced a 4-week bullish streak, resulting in a combined net inflow of $2.21 billion.

Bitcoin ETFs See Red Again, While Potential New Member Awaits 

According to data from SoSoValue, the combined trading activity across the 12 Bitcoin Spot ETFs resulted in a negative inflow of $296.18 million over the past week. This development represents the seventh weekly outflow of 2026, and the fifteenth since the crypto bear market commenced in October 2025. A daily analysis shows the net withdrawal performance is highly linked to consecutive outflows on Thursday and Friday, combinedly valued at over $396 million. For context, the $225.48 million outflow registered on Friday represents the market’s largest net outflow since March 3rd. 

Looking at individual fund performance, BlackRock IBIT experienced the largest net redemptions valued at $158.07 million. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Ark/21 Shares ARKB  also registered a total netflow of $169.26 million. ETFs such as Grayscale’s BTC and VanEck’s HODL also posted respective net withdrawals of $5.45 and $10.28, marking minor contributions to the general market’s negative performance.  On the other hand, Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for the only recorded net inflow, valued at $46.88 million. 

Other ETFs, such as Invesco’s BTCO, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Wisdom Tree’s BTCW, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, and Hashdex’s DEFI, all experienced zero weekly net flows. At press time, the Bitcoin Spot ETF reported a cumulative total net inflow of $55.93 billion and total net assets of $84.77 billion. 

Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that American banking giant Morgan Stanley has filed to launch its own Bitcoin spot ETF under the ticker MSBT. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the proposed fund will offer the lowest fee in the market at 0.14%, just below Grayscale’s 0.15%. If approved by the SEC, MSBT will be the first Bitcoin spot ETF directly listed by a US bank. For context, Morgan Stanley ranks as a leading financial services operator in the world with an asset under management of $1.9 trillion and a market cap of $251 billion.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the United States have posted five consecutive days of capital inflows for the first time in 2026. This good run of form comes as a relief after what has been a turbulent start to the year for BTC and the broader cryptocurrency market.

While the premier cryptocurrency still appears to be struggling in terms of price action, the demand conditions — especially in the US — seem to be improving steadily. According to the latest market data, the Bitcoin ETFs registered approximately $767.32 million in net inflows over the past week.

US Bitcoin ETFs Record $767M In The Past Week

On Friday, March 13, the US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $180.33 million in total net inflows. This latest round of capital influx marked the fifth day in an inflow streak that started earlier in the week and the longest so far this year.

Recent market data shows that BlackRock’s Bitcoin Trust (with the ticker IBIT) contributed the majority (roughly $143.59 million) of the total net inflow on Friday. This was followed by the $23.24 million contribution of Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) on the day.

VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), and Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) (adding $8.05 million, $3.09 million, and $2.36 million in value, respectively) were the only other Bitcoin ETFs that recorded any activity on Friday. Interestingly, this Friday’s performance only pales in comparison to the $250.92 in the total net inflows seen on Tuesday, March 10.

As mentioned earlier, these daily performances brought the exchange-traded funds’ weekly record to a net total of around $767.32 million. This week’s performance marks the third consecutive week of positive inflows for the US-based Bitcoin ETFs.

According to SoSoValue data, the BTC-linked investment products posted more than $568 million in total net inflows in the previous week. Meanwhile, the exchange-traded funds added more than $787 million in value in the final week of February.

Bitcoin Price Overview

While the spot Bitcoin ETFs have been seeing increased demand in recent weeks, there has not been concomitant growth in the premier cryptocurrency’s value within the same period. More specifically, the price of BTC has faced rejection twice around the $74,000 resistance level over the last two weeks.

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $70,748, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency has jumped by nearly 5% in the past seven days.
