Record Bitcoin ETF Outflows: How Pressure Built
The bitcoin (BTC) ETF outflow streak began in mid-May:
- May 11-15: $1B in losses
- May 18-22: $1.26B
- May 25-29: $1.42B
Then pressure intensified in June:
- June 1-5: $1.72B left bitcoin ETFs
- June 8-12: outflows slowed to $315.84M
- June 15-19: $226.84M
- Final week of June: outflows surged to $1.79B
Daily outflow figures for the final week show consistent pressure:
- June 22: $68.18M
- June 23: $113.78M
- June 24: $469.08M
- June 25: $696.29M
- June 26: $444.51M
Total net inflows since launch remain positive at $51.61B, but total net assets have fallen to $72.82B, down from $107.8B in mid-May.

Altcoin ETFs Buck the Trend: XRP, ETH, SOL, and HYPE Flows
Unlike bitcoin, XRP ETFs have posted eight consecutive weeks of inflows. During June 22-26, they attracted $22.99M. Bitwise XRP▼$1.04 ETF contributed $11.18M on June 26, with Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ adding $3.80M. Total assets under management across seven XRP ETFs are nearing $1B.
Analysts link sustained XRP interest to regulatory clarity. Unlike bitcoin, which is facing macro pressure and ETF outflows, XRP has legal clarity after Ripple’s court battles, making it more attractive to institutional investors during uncertain times.
The outflows weren’t limited to bitcoin funds. During June 22-26, Ethereum (ETH) ETFs lost $273.34M, and Solana (SOL) funds shed $1.81M. But Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETFs attracted $111.36M, and Chainlink (LINK) ETFs were nearly flat with just $219,790 in outflows. That suggests investors are selectively rotating into individual assets even amid a broad risk-off move.
