Oh, what a week it’s been for spot Bitcoin ETFs! Investor sentiment took a bit of a nosedive last week, all thanks to the ever-charming Donald Trump’s trade drama and a little bit of good ol’ profit-taking. Naturally, the market decided to flip the script, leaving behind a six-week streak of cheerful inflows.
According to the ever-reliable SoSoValue data (who doesn’t love some good data?), the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. watched a delightful $157.4 million in outflows from May 27-30, ending a streak that had previously pulled in over $9 billion. Oh, the sweet irony of it all!
But don’t worry, some funds took it particularly hard. ARK 21Shares’ ARKB experienced a hefty $281.9 million exit, as if the investors couldn’t wait to leave. Fidelity’s FBTC wasn’t far behind with a tragic $198.8 million departure. In fact, even Grayscale’s GBTC and Bitwise’s BITB lost $134.4 million and $104.3 million, respectively. A real exodus, darling!
But don’t start crying just yet. While a number of funds, like Invesco’s BTCO, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, and VanEck’s HODL, saw a combined $30.3 million pulled, not all was doom and gloom. BlackRock’s IBIT, ever the optimist, managed to secure $584.6 million in inflows—proving that some investors still see this as a mere hiccup. How splendidly pragmatic!
And let’s not forget about Grayscale’s mini BTC fund and Valkyrie’s BRRR, which also managed to see modest inflows, showing that some investors are just itching to buy the dip. How utterly quaint!
Despite the little setback, May wrapped up in a rather bullish fashion for Bitcoin ETFs. Net inflows totaled $5.23 billion, which was an incredible 75% leap from April. A real comeback story! For comparison, February and March had seen outflows of $3.56 billion and $767.91 million—proof that the market can still be a bit of a rollercoaster. Hold on tight, darlings!
Now, as for why investors took their foot off the gas: it seems traders decided to lock in profits after Bitcoin’s recent high. It’s all about timing, darling, and with June historically being a little on the bearish side for Bitcoin (we all know how it goes), it seems some decided to cash in before the seasonal dip. A little prudence never hurt anyone, right?
And, of course, the macroeconomic drama never disappoints. Trump’s trade tariffs are back in the headlines, with two U.S. courts delivering contradictory rulings. One called the tariffs illegal, while the other decided to keep them around until, presumably, the Supreme Court has a say. Ah, the suspense! Investors are simply eating it up—or perhaps trying to avoid indigestion, depending on who you ask.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price took a little tumble, slipping about 4.3% over the past week. It briefly dipped to $103,950 on June 2 before bouncing back to a more palatable $105,000. Even so, let’s not forget—it’s only 6.1% off its record-high of $111,814 from last month. Not bad, all things considered.
“This pullback is healthy,” said Himanshu Maradiya, founder and chairman of CIFDAQ, in a particularly composed tone. “It’s not a full-on bearish event, just a little pause and consolidation. A time to reflect, darling, and maybe tighten up those belts for the next opportunity.”
“We’re not in a risk-on environment, but it’s not exactly the end of the world either. This is a time for discipline. Capital preservation, sharp focus, and readiness to pounce when the moment is right,” he added, presumably while sipping a cocktail. Oh, the wisdom!
