Bitcoin ETFs see $2B outflows in two weeks amid price drop and profit-taking
Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced over $2 billion in outflows during a two-week period in late May and early June 2026, driven mainly by BlackRock’s IBIT fund. This followed a 13-day streak of redemptions totaling about $4.4 billion, coinciding with Bitcoin’s price decline from above $80,000 to between $60,000 and $73,500. The outflows reflect a mix of profit-taking, shifting market sentiment, geopolitical tensions, and rising Treasury yields, but represent only about 2% of total assets under management, indicating most investors remain committed. By early July, selling pressure eased with a modest inflow, suggesting a potential floor for Bitcoin ETF demand and highlighting these ETFs as a real-time gauge of institutional sentiment.
