Bitcoin ETFs' 6-day outflow streak shrinks 2026 net inflows to $536M

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have suffered six straight trading days of net outflows, totaling over $1.5 billion, which has slashed year-to-date net inflows to just $536 million. The streak marks the longest continuous outflow period since the funds launched in early 2024 and brings the cumulative net flow dangerously close to flipping negative for 2026.

The six-day outflow run, which began on May 18, has erased more than 70% of the net inflows that had accumulated in the first four and a half months of the year. The largest outflows were concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC, the two most heavily traded spot Bitcoin ETFs. The selling pressure comes amid a broader risk-off mood in financial markets, with the US dollar index strengthening and Treasury yields rising, which typically weighs on speculative assets like cryptocurrencies. Live crypto prices and charts on NowPrice show Bitcoin trading near $68,000, down about 8% from its May high, as the ETF outflows coincide with a decline in open interest across Bitcoin futures markets.

Looking ahead, traders will watch whether the outflow streak extends into a seventh day, which could trigger a psychological shift and accelerate selling. The key level to monitor is the $65,000 support zone; a break below that could test the $60,000 area. On the flip side, a reversal in ETF flows could provide a catalyst for a rebound. The broader macro backdrop, including the next Federal Reserve meeting and US inflation data due later this week, will also influence risk appetite and Bitcoin's near-term direction.
