Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a combined net outflow of $70.47 million on May 20 (ET), marking a fourth straight day of net withdrawals, according to SoSoValue data.
Why it matters
The streak matters more than the single-day print. Four consecutive days of net outflows is the kind of cadence that reflects deliberate de-risking rather than a one-off rebalance, particularly when paired with an eight-day outflow run on the Ethereum side. Together they describe a tape where institutional flow is leaning defensive across both majors at once.
Market impact
Ethereum spot ETFs booked a $28.14 million net outflow on the same session, extending that product line's outflow streak to eight days. The asymmetry is notable: $ETH products have been bleeding longer than $BTC products, even as the BTC headline is what tends to lead the daily recap. Watch whether the four-day BTC streak catches up to the ETH duration or breaks first — that tells you which side of the trade is doing the de-risking.
