Mars Finance News reports that on May 23, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $1.26 billion in net outflows this week, the largest single-week capital outflow since late January this year, and net redemptions have appeared for six consecutive trading days. Data shows that these products saw outflows of about $649 million on Monday alone; although conditions eased somewhat over the following days, the overall trend has remained one of continued outflows. Market participants noted that the recent rise in US Treasury yields, the strengthening US dollar, and geopolitical tensions are among the main reasons funds have been withdrawn.

Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs are also under pressure, with net outflows continuing for 10 consecutive trading days—the longest outflow streak since March 2025. Total outflows for the week amounted to approximately $216 million. Of this, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) currently manages approximately $61.1 billion in assets, but it remains below the cumulative net inflows of about $3.7 billion, showing that recent market price fluctuations have affected the value of holdings.

As of the close on ETF trading days, the price of Bitcoin was around $77.5k and Ethereum was about $2,130, with the overall market maintaining narrow price fluctuations. Despite the obvious outflows in the short term, the spot Bitcoin ETFs’ cumulative net inflows since their launch still remain at approximately $57.1 billion, with assets under management of about $98.9 billion.

At the price level of 77.5k, I actually want to add some positions.

When U.S. Treasury yields rise, risk assets get hammered—it's the old script.

It's only been a short time since spot ETFs launched, and they've already experienced several major fluctuations. Just get used to it.

Ethereum ETF is even worse, only flowing for 10 days, the ecosystem narrative is really failing.

Total size of 98.9 billion; outflows of 1.26 billion are actually just 1.3%—it’s clickbait.

Short-term looks at sentiment, long-term looks at adoption, I choose the latter.

The US dollar strengthening + geopolitical tensions, a classic safe-haven combination, Bitcoin didn't keep up with gold this time.
