🟠 Bitcoin ETF saw nearly $650M withdrawn — the biggest sell-off since the start of the year


📌 Spot Bitcoin ETF funds in Mỹ recorded a -$648.6M outflow on May 19, the largest net withdrawal since January 2026.
📌 The heaviest pressure is on BlackRock’s IBIT (-$448.3M), followed by ARKB (-$109.6M) and FBTC (-$63.4M). Funds from Bitwise, VanEck, Invesco, and Franklin Templeton also turned negative across the board.
📌 Last week, more than $1B also left Bitcoin ETFs, breaking a 6-week consecutive streak of positive weeks. BTC at one point dropped below $77,000, reflecting three pressures at once: ETF outflow, high yields, and U.S.-Iran geopolitical risk that pushed oil prices back up.
📌 However, the market capitalization of stablecoins such as USDT and USDC still increased, meaning capital has not completely left the market—it’s just waiting to buy at better price levels.
