Crypto ETFs Face Historic $3 Billion Exodus as Bitcoin and Ether Outflows Mount

Key Facts

1Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a historic 10-day outflow streak.
2Ether ETFs have experienced outflows for 14 consecutive sessions.
3Total outflows from crypto ETFs reached nearly $3 billion during the exodus period.

Amid rising anxiety among institutional investors, cryptocurrency ETFs have experienced a historic wave of outflows reflecting a sharp shift in risk appetite. According to reports, spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a 10-day consecutive outflow streak, while Ether ETFs suffered from capital flight for 14 straight sessions. Total outflows from these crypto funds reached nearly $3 billion during this period, exerting significant downward pressure on spot market prices.

This retreat comes as digital assets face stiff competition from higher bond yields, especially after US CB Consumer Confidence data released on May 26 printed at 93.1, beating the 91.9 forecast and reinforcing 'higher-for-longer' interest rate expectations. In contrast to earlier performance, major funds like BlackRock's IBIT had attracted record inflows earlier this year before the current liquidation trend took hold, per market data.

Traders should closely monitor technical support levels for BTC and ETH as institutional selling persists, with a focus on upcoming US economic data as a primary liquidity driver. Notably, US GDP growth data released on May 28 showed a 1.6% expansion, missing the 2% forecast, which could shift expectations regarding Fed monetary policy and subsequently impact the appeal of high-risk assets in the coming weeks.
