Spot Bitcoin ETFs have now posted four straight weeks of net outflows, shedding $1.72 billion in the week ending June 5, according to SoSoValue data.
The streak dates back to the week ending May 15. Each week since has seen more than $1 billion exit the funds.
The pressure was heaviest in the first three trading days of June. The funds lost $483.8 million, $519.1 million and $396.6 million on those days respectively. There was a brief reversal of $3.2 million on Thursday before Friday brought another $325.7 million in outflows.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) was the biggest source of withdrawals, accounting for $1.34 billion of the week’s total. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) lost $201.9 million, and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) shed $144.3 million.
Matthew Pinnock, COO of Altura DeFi, said the selling reflects “macro-driven repricing of risk” rather than Bitcoin-specific concerns. He said IBIT draws the most outflows because of its size and liquidity, and that large investors tend to use the most liquid products when pulling back on risk.
“The timing of these redemptions aligns closely with stronger-than-expected US employment data, rising Treasury yields, and a sharp reduction in rate cut expectations,” Pinnock said. He added that Bitcoin’s recent weakness has been driven by changing rate expectations and institutional risk appetite.
Ether ETFs Also Under Pressure
Spot Ether ETFs followed a similar pattern. They recorded $173.05 million in outflows for the week ending June 5, extending their own four-week redemption streak. Ether ETFs have shed roughly $885.6 million over those four weeks.
Not all altcoin ETF products saw outflows. HYPE ETFs pulled in $16.65 million for the week. XRP ETFs saw a small $2.62 million inflow. Solana ETFs posted $6.52 million in outflows.
Crypto analyst Ted (@TedPillows) posted on X that Bitcoin has so far made two lower highs in this cycle, compared to three in the previous one. He warned that a third lower high could come in Q3, followed by a drop to $50,000. He then projects a move above $100,000 after that bottom.
Except for the peak, $BTC had 3 lower highs last cycle.
So far, we have seen only 2 while the bottom is still not in based on the 4-year cycle.
A bottom scenario could be another lower high by Q3 followed by a dump to $50,000.
After that, BTC will most likely pump above… https://t.co/Xolr7qgNFH pic.twitter.com/s357ELI6bj

Bitcoin Bounces Near $64K
On June 8, Bitcoin climbed back toward $64,000 after President Trump posted on Truth Social that both Israel and Iran were seeking an “immediate ceasefire.” BTC reached $63,715, up 3.25% on the day.

The price had dipped earlier after Iran launched retaliatory strikes on Israeli military targets, following Israeli strikes on Hezbollah-linked facilities in Beirut. Iranian officials later confirmed their joint military command halted offensive action.
Trump confirmed that a blockade would remain in place until a final deal is reached, but said diplomatic talks were already moving forward.
Bitcoin was at $63,715 as of the latest available data, recovering from geopolitical-driven losses earlier in the session.
