Sign InAmid shifting sentiment regarding institutional commitment to crypto assets, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) faced significant selling pressure. According to reports, the fund recorded a sharp one-day net outflow of $528 million, marking the second-largest daily redemption since its inception. Despite these substantial outflows, the price of Bitcoin demonstrated resilience by maintaining its position above the critical $73,000 support level.
This decline in inflows follows a period of robust growth, with analysts comparing these moves to similar volatility seen in peer funds like Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) per market data. Experts suggest that profit-taking at record highs may be the primary driver, especially as Bitcoin has sustained strong year-to-date gains despite recent geopolitical tensions that have weighed on global risk appetite.
Traders are now focused on Bitcoin's ability to hold current support levels, with the price standing at $73,150 (close May 28, 2026) per market data. Looking ahead at the economic calendar, the market will monitor the Fed Jefferson Speech on May 28, 2026, which could provide further clues on monetary policy and its impact on high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
