Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their second-largest weekly outflow on record during the week ending June 26, 2026, with $1.79 billion in net redemptions, according to Farside data. This outflow represents the continuation of a seven-week streak of consecutive withdrawals—the longest such period since spot Bitcoin ETF products launched in January 2024.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management, drove the outflows with $1.3 billion in redemptions during the week. This marks a notable shift for a product that had previously generated more revenue than any other fund in BlackRock's portfolio of over 1,000 global offerings and had approached $100 billion in assets during peak inflow periods.
The current redemption cycle reflects broader institutional capital repositioning within digital asset ETFs. While spot Bitcoin ETFs had previously captured $4.5 billion in cumulative inflows over a multi-week stretch earlier in 2026, the extended seven-week outflow streak suggests investors are actively reducing exposure or reallocating capital. In contrast, spot Ethereum ETFs have captured approximately $500 million in inflows since March 2026, indicating differentiated investor sentiment across cryptocurrency asset classes.
The $1.79 billion weekly outflow is the second-worst in spot Bitcoin ETF history, trailing only a record $1 billion single-day withdrawal recorded on a Tuesday during the prior period. This pattern of consecutive weekly redemptions reflects either profit-taking following price appreciation or institutional rotation strategies, though the specific macroeconomic or market catalysts driving the redemptions are not detailed in available reporting.
