Summary
The magnitude of single-day redemptions has been particularly acute. On May 13, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $635 million in net outflows, the largest single-day exit since January 2026. Additional data points reveal even larger daily losses during the recent outflow period, with spot Bitcoin ETFs suffering a $812.25 million redemption on one trading day—the second-largest daily loss on record. Daily net outflows of $104 million to $146 million have been documented across multiple recent sessions, indicating consistent investor selling pressure without meaningful recovery periods.
Ethereum spot ETFs have followed a similar trajectory, with reported outflows of $121 million to $141 million on specific trading days during the period. SoSoValue data shows net outflows of 47,308 ETH tokens on recent trading sessions. However, the Bitcoin ETF outflow magnitude has significantly eclipsed Ethereum redemptions in absolute dollar terms and duration, suggesting Bitcoin faces more acute demand deterioration among institutional and retail investors utilizing ETF vehicles.
The outflow pattern affects multiple Bitcoin ETF issuers, including Fidelity's FBTC product, indicating the weakness is systemic rather than concentrated in specific fund families. This broad-based redemption streak contrasts with earlier periods in 2026 when Bitcoin ETFs experienced intermittent inflow phases, including a five-day inflow streak totaling approximately $1.7 billion and $46.3 million in single-session net inflows. The current 11-day consecutive outflow streak represents a fundamental shift in investor positioning away from spot crypto ETF exposure during the June 2026 period.
