Bitcoin ETFs Post $5.53B in Net Outflows in 2026 After Eight-Week Streak

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are mired in their toughest stretch since their debut, logging eight straight weeks of net redemptions and bringing year-to-date outflows to about $5.53 billion. Persistent withdrawals have weighed on sentiment even as Bitcoin itself has begun to stabilize after a sharp pullback. SoSoValue data show that from June 29 to July 2 (ET), spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of roughly $527 million across four trading sessions, extending the longest losing streak since regulators approved the products. June was particularly punishing, with more than $4 billion leaving Bitcoin ETFs during the month. A late-week improvement failed to change the overall picture. On July 2, Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $221.7 million in net inflows, snapping a 10-session run of withdrawals that had drained nearly $2.7 billion. Fidelity led that session with around $166 million of inflows, followed by ARK 21Shares with about $91.8 million; VanEck also posted modest additions. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF moved in the opposite direction, posting another day of net outflows of roughly $40.4 million. That extended its redemption streak to 11 consecutive trading sessions, totaling about $2.2 billion in outflows over that span. Bitcoin traded through a volatile week, dipping below $58,000 before rebounding to around $63,150 by Saturday. Softer U.S. employment data helped support the move, as traders took it as reducing the likelihood of another Federal Reserve rate hike. CryptoQuant analysts remain cautious, flagging rising exchange deposits as a potential source of short-term volatility if selling pressure returns. Ethereum ETFs also marked eight consecutive weeks of net outflows, though daily inflows returned on both July 1 and July 2. BlackRock's Ethereum fund drew nearly $29.7 million in the latest session. Hyperliquid ETFs stayed in positive territory with $4.3 million of weekly inflows, though demand cooled sharply from the prior week's record pace. Away from ETFs, large Bitcoin holders continued to accumulate. Whale wallets added roughly 270,000 BTC during June, a contrast to ongoing ETF selling and another signal investors are monitoring as markets look for clearer direction in the weeks ahead.
