U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs post six straight days of net outflows; 2026 net inflows shrink to $536 million

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged net redemptions for six consecutive sessions, with cumulative outflows totaling $1.55 billion, according to official figures cited by Huoxing Finance. Outflows on Friday alone reached $105.2 million. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw $689 million withdrawn, while Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) posted $363 million of outflows. The wave of redemptions has pushed year-to-date net inflows for 2026 down to $536 million, bringing the market close to flipping into negative territory for the year. On the institutional side, market-maker Jane Street cut its Bitcoin ETF holdings by about 70% in the first quarter, and Goldman Sachs reduced its exposure by 10%. A few pockets of strength remain. IBIT still shows $2.7 billion of net inflows so far this year, though that is well below the $25 billion it drew across all of 2025. The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT), launched April 8, has taken in $264 million in net inflows, outpacing competing offerings from Invesco and WisdomTree. Elsewhere, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs are also showing year-to-date net outflows. Separately, several crypto ETF proposals backed by Trump's Truth Social and led by asset manager Yorkville America withdrew their filings on Tuesday. ETF flow data are widely watched as a barometer of institutional demand and fresh capital entering the crypto market. As of publication, Bitcoin was trading around $77,376.
