Spot Bitcoin ETFs See $1.72B Outflows, Marking Four Weeks of Redemptions
What happened: US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $1.
What happened: US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $1.72 billion in net outflows for the week ending June 5, the largest weekly outflow since February 2025. BlackRock’s IBIT led the exodus with $1.34B in redemptions, followed by Fidelity FBTC ($201.9M) and Grayscale GBTC ($144.3M). This marks four consecutive weeks of billion-dollar outflows, totaling $4.37B and turning 2026’s cumulative flows negative for the first time.
Why it matters: The outflows are attributed to macroeconomic factors, including strong US jobs data, rising Treasury yields, and diminished expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. These conditions have made non-yielding assets like Bitcoin less attractive relative to bonds, indicating that ETF flows are being driven by broader risk repricing rather than crypto-specific concerns.
