U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net outflow of $519 million on June 2, extending the segment's outflow streak to 12 consecutive days, according to SoSoValue data. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $90.15 million on the same session, marking 16 straight days of redemptions.
Why it matters
The persistence is the story, not the daily print. Two-week-plus outflow streaks in spot BTC ETFs historically coincide with sustained institutional de-risking rather than tactical rotation, and the parallel 16-day ETH streak suggests the unwind is broad-based across the two largest spot products rather than confined to a single asset's investor base.
Market impact
The combined $609M in single-day redemptions erases a meaningful slice of the cumulative inflows that built up through the first quarter, and the symmetry of the BTC and ETH streaks implies a coordinated risk-off posture from registered US advisors and RIA channels. Watch for a break in the streak — a net positive day in either product would be the first signal that the institutional bid is re-engaging rather than continuing to thin.
