Bitcoin ETFs Record Worst Week Since Launch Amid Sharp BTC Drop
Massive Outflows Shake the Market
This week proved to be challenging for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Data shows they experienced their largest outflows since their inception. Over the past four weeks, investors have pulled billions from these funds. In fact, last week alone, $1.72 billion left Bitcoin ETFs, marking the worst week on record. As a result, the total net inflows dropped from $59.34 billion to $53.94 billion. The trend signals that investors are losing confidence during Bitcoin’s significant decline. The downward movement began with a peak in inflows of just $3.05 million on June 4, but most days saw large withdrawals. For example, on June 2, investors withdrew $519 million, reflecting growing concern. This pattern suggests widespread fear in the market, especially after Bitcoin’s price slipped to its lowest point in 19 months.
Bitcoin’s Price Collapses and Market Sentiment
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price suffered a steep fall, dropping from about $73,000 to below $60,000. After trying to hold the $60,000 support level, it finally broke down two days ago. The cryptocurrency fell to $59,100, a level last seen before the US presidential elections in late 2024. The clear correlation between ETF withdrawals and the price plunge shows that investor sentiment turned negative rapidly. The sell-off was fueled by concerns about broader financial markets, which also experienced declines after a positive US jobs report. This combination of fund outflows and falling prices paints a cautious picture for Bitcoin and the wider crypto market.
