Bitcoin ETF Outflows Hit Record Levels: Why Institutions Are Pulling Billions From BTC

Bitcoin ETFs have posted the longest outflow streak in their short history, with spot BTC ETFs shedding billions as price hovers near $63,600. From May 15 to June 3, these ETFs logged 13 consecutive trading days of net outflows totaling $4.33 billion, about 59,400 BTC. For the week ending June 6, outflows reached $1.72 billion, the largest weekly figure since February 2025, bringing total ETF assets to $80.40 billion and BTC holdings to 1.277 million, down roughly 7.2% from October 2025 peak. Analysts attribute the exodus to a macro backdrop: fading rate-cut bets, competition from yield-bearing bonds, and a broader risk-off stance, rather than a collapse in Bitcoin’s fundamentals.
