Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.42 billion in net outflows during the week of May 25–29, making it the third-largest weekly outflow event in the product category's history. The scale of the exit underscores how quickly institutional sentiment can shift when macro pressure or risk-off positioning takes hold.
Spot Ethereum ETFs weren't spared either, posting $241 million in net outflows — a third consecutive week of negative flows, a streak that signals sustained selling rather than a one-off rebalancing event.
The one bright spot in an otherwise ugly week: smaller altcoin ETF products bucked the trend. Spot SOL ETFs pulled in $2.36 million, XRP ETFs attracted $15.2 million, and HYPE ETFs led the group with $25.57 million in net inflows — modest numbers relative to the BTC and ETH bleed, but a signal that selective appetite for alt exposure persists even as the majors face redemption pressure.
