Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US logged a $334 million net outflow on May 26, extending the streak of consecutive daily net withdrawals to seven sessions, per SoSoValue data. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw a smaller $35.04 million net outflow on the same day, marking eleven consecutive days of net redemptions.
Why it matters
Synchronized outflows across the two largest US-listed spot crypto ETF complexes — run for seven and eleven sessions respectively — point to a coordinated unwind of institutional exposure rather than a single-day rebalance. The pattern lines up with a broader risk-off rotation out of the crypto complex, where the venues that brought institutional money in are now the venues institutional money is leaving through.
Market impact
The seven-day BTC streak is the longest sustained outflow window since launch, and the eleven-day ETH streak is the longest since those products came online. Watch the first net-positive day on either complex for the first credible signal that the rotation is exhausting itself — until then, the tape reads as institutional risk de-risking in progress.
