ETF Outflows Are Slowing, but the Trend Remains Negative

US spot bitcoin ETFs recorded their sixth consecutive week of net outflows. Over the past week, investors pulled $227M. Since mid-May, total outflows have exceeded $5.9B. Total net assets in bitcoin funds have shrunk to $78.3B, down from a peak of $169B in October 2025.

Ethereum ETFs lost $10M for the week and $905M over six weeks.

Analysts note that the pace of outflows is slowing–the scale has shrunk, but sustained inflows haven’t appeared yet. Institutional investors remain defensive amid a repricing of Fed rate expectations and a stronger dollar. Easing geopolitical tensions after the US-Iran deal improved risk appetite, but not enough to offset monetary tightening.

Long-Term Holders Are Buying the Dip

Despite the gloomy headlines, the most resilient investor group–long-term holders–is increasing its positions. The net position change for long-term holders fell to a low of about 30,885 BTC on June 11 but more than doubled to 79,298 BTC by June 21. That means experienced players are buying on weakness, not fleeing.

The liquidation map shows shorts outnumbering longs–a potential short squeeze could provide an upward catalyst.

XS.com analysts expect the $60K-$67K range to hold in the near term. The market is balanced between supportive and restrictive forces: easing ETF selling and improving sentiment on one side, versus hawkish Fed rhetoric and a lack of confirmed institutional demand on the other.
