Bitcoin ETFs See Fifth Straight Outflow Week, ETH Too
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have extended a major red streak, posting outflows for the fifth consecutive week. Although the latest numbers are far smaller than the prior week’s heavy withdrawals, investor sentiment remains cautious.
Data cited from SoSoValue shows BTC ETF net flows were negative on four of five business days:
- Monday: -$91.37M
- Tuesday: -$77.44M
- Wednesday: -$213.85M
- Thursday: -$19.03M
- Friday turned positive: +$85.85M
Still, the week finished with total net outflows of nearly $316M. Since the week ending May 15, cumulative net outflows have exceeded $5.7B, while cumulative net inflows slid from $59.34B (May 8) to $53.62B (June 12).
Spot Ethereum ETFs followed a similar pattern. They were also in the red for five straight weeks, but with less severe outflows than the prior week. SoSoValue data shows:
- Monday: +$82.37M (one strong inflow day)
- Tuesday: -$40.85M
- Wednesday: -$35.59M
- Thursday: -$15.89M
- Friday: -$4.95M
As a result, the week ended with just under $15M in net outflows, compared with $173M withdrawn the week before. Cumulative net inflows for ETH ETFs dropped to under $11.20B on Friday after peaking at $12.09B on May 8.

This is bearish on flow direction but not fully bearish for price. The headline is continued net outflows: BTC spot ETFs stayed red for five straight weeks and ETH spot ETFs did the same. That typically pressures near-term sentiment and can weigh on spot demand, especially after prior weeks saw multi-billion withdrawals.
However, the article highlights a key shift: the latest week’s withdrawals are much smaller than the previous week for both BTC and ETH. Friday’s positive day (+$85.85M for BTC ETFs; ETH still ended slightly negative) suggests selling pressure is easing rather than accelerating. Similar historical ETF “less-bad” weeks often precede volatility compression and range-bound trading, where price action decouples from daily flows until inflows return.
For traders: expect continued sensitivity around ETF flow headlines. In the short term, persistent outflows can cap rallies and keep pullback risk elevated. In the medium to long term, the market may stabilize if reduced outflow pace continues and a follow-through week of net inflows appears—otherwise, sustained red weeks keep the bias mildly bearish.
