Blackrock IBIT Sheds $440M as <a href="https://jpyeur.com/btc-usd/">Bitcoin</a> ETF Outflows Reach 11 Days

June started slowly for crypto ETFs, with bitcoin funds experiencing nearly $500 million in outflows and ether funds continuing a 15-day streak of losses. However, XRP and HYPE ETFs saw new investments, indicating that investors are still strategically choosing which cryptocurrencies to buy, even beyond Bitcoin and Ether.

  • Key Takeaways:

  • Bitcoin ETFs lost $483.8M on June 1, with Blackrock IBIT leading outflows at $440.3M.
  • Ether ETFs saw a 15th straight outflow day, as Blackrock ETHA shed $35.0M.
  • XRP and HYPE ETFs gained $5.4M combined, signaling selective institutional demand.

XRP ETFs Add $4.1M as Bitcoin and Ether Funds Lose $528M Combined

June began with the same pressure that closed out May. Bitcoin ETFs remained at the center of the selloff on Monday, as investors pulled $483.76 million from the category. It was the 11th consecutive day of outflows, a run that has turned what once looked like routine rebalancing into a broader test of conviction.

The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) experienced the largest outflows, totaling $440.29 million. Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) saw losses of $37.29 million, and the Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) had $12.32 million in outflows.

There was one exception. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT drew $6.14 million in inflows. But against the scale of the broader withdrawals, it was little more than a brief countercurrent. Bitcoin ETF value traded reached $2.96 billion, while total net assets closed at $91.16 billion.

Ether-based ETFs continued to see selling pressure, experiencing $44.44 million in net outflows. This marks the 15th consecutive day of net withdrawals, largely focused on just two specific funds.

BlackRock’s ETHA ETF experienced outflows of $34.97 million, and Fidelity’s FETH saw $9.47 million leave. Overall, ether ETF trading volume reached $700.19 million, with total net assets ending the period at $11.14 billion.

The tone was different in parts of the altcoin market.

XRP ETFs added $4.13 million, with the entire inflow going into Canary’s XRPC. Total value traded was $14.80 million, and net assets closed at $1.11 billion.

HYPE ETFs also stayed positive, drawing $1.28 million through 21Shares’ THYP. Total value traded reached $60.42 million, while net assets climbed to $185.22 million. Solana ETFs saw no trading activity, as net assets ended the session at $931.56 million.

The split between large-cap outflows and altcoin inflows is becoming harder to dismiss. Can-Luca Köymen, investment strategist at Sygnum Bank, said the headline numbers mask a more nuanced market. Selected altcoins and crypto sectors, he noted, are moving on their own catalysts, including protocol revenue, buyback mechanics, and exposure to growth areas such as tokenised real-world assets and prediction markets.

Köymen pointed to Hyperliquid ETF inflows as the clearest example. They arrived during a period of historically weak bitcoin ETF flows, suggesting that institutional allocators are no longer treating crypto as a single trade.

For investors, that distinction matters. Köymen said the recent weakness in bitcoin ETF demand may reflect a short-term positioning reset rather than a structural decline in institutional interest. If macro conditions stabilize, especially around yields, the dollar, and geopolitical risk, bitcoin flows could rebound quickly.

Monday’s flows still left the market tilted toward caution, with bitcoin and ether ETFs losing a combined $528.20 million. But continued inflows into XRP and HYPE products suggest institutional demand is not disappearing. It is becoming more selective, more segmented, and, perhaps, more mature.
