Major Outflows Among Bitcoin Spot ETFs
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) recorded the largest net outflow of $39.5 million. Following closely behind was the Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) with $20.5 million in net outflows. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) also saw a minor outflow of $3 million. On the positive side, Bitwise and BlackRock’s ETFs reported modest inflows of $7.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
Impact on Bitcoin Price
These outflows coincided with a decline in the price of Bitcoin. Over the past 12 hours, Bitcoin’s value dropped from just above $70,000 to below $68,000, resulting in $170 million in liquidations and exerting downward pressure on the entire cryptocurrency market.
Previous Inflows and Record Highs
In the preceding week, Bitcoin spot ETFs consistently observed strong inflows, with net inflows recorded on each trading day. The total net inflow for the week amounted to approximately $1.83 billion, reaching levels of demand not seen since early March, according to Matteo Greco, a research analyst at digital asset investment firm Fineqia International. The cumulative net inflow since the inception of these ETFs has now reached a record high of about $15.7 billion.

Global Expansion of Bitcoin ETFs
The integration of Bitcoin into traditional finance is expanding globally.

This marks a significant step in the global adoption of Bitcoin ETFs.

Macroeconomic Factors and Central Bank Actions
On the macroeconomic front, both the Bank of Canada (BOC) and the European Central Bank (ECB) have cut interest rates by 25 basis points. Despite inflation levels surpassing the central banks’ 2% annual target, these rate cuts indicate governments’ optimistic expectations about their ability to manage inflation while implementing less restrictive monetary policies. Less restrictive monetary policies are generally favorable for risk-on assets, including stocks and digital assets like Bitcoin, particularly when rate cuts do not signal an imminent recession.
Upcoming Economic Indicators
Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release May figures for its inflation-measuring Consumer Price Index (CPI) on June 11. Analysts have forecast inflation to rise 0.1% after a 0.5% bump in April, bringing the year-on-year figure to 3.4%. Core inflation is forecast to rise 0.3% in May, the same as April, according to Morningstar. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy will also be decided at a two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting starting the same day.
