Sign InBitcoin ETFs faced persistent selling pressure, recording net losses of $70 million as outflows extended into a fourth consecutive session. Simultaneously, Ethereum ETFs marked their eighth straight day of net withdrawals, signaling a sustained exit from spot crypto products. According to reports, BlackRock led the declines in the Bitcoin ETF market during Wednesday's trading session.
This downward trend coincides with broader macroeconomic headwinds and hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve, which have dampened appetite for risk assets. The eight-day outflow streak for Ethereum represents one of the most prolonged periods of negative sentiment since the inception of these instruments. Per market data, this cooling institutional demand mirrors global economic caution, highlighted by recent data showing Chinese retail sales grew by only 0.2% in May 2026.
Traders are closely monitoring key support levels following the price action at the close of May 20, 2026. Looking ahead, the market is focused on upcoming catalysts in the economic calendar, specifically speeches from Fed officials Bowman and Hammack. These addresses will be pivotal in determining whether institutional conviction returns to crypto ETFs or if the current streak of withdrawals will persist in the face of restrictive monetary policy.
Update: Detailed data reveals that BlackRock accounted for $61.5 million of the Bitcoin ETF outflows. Despite this divestment, the firm maintains a massive digital asset footprint, with its total on-chain portfolio valued at approximately $69.66 billion, of which Bitcoin holdings represent roughly $63 billion according to Arkham data.
