BlockBeats News, June 8th. The US Bitcoin spot ETF reported a net outflow of $1.72 billion last week, marking the largest single-week outflow since February 2025. The largest Bitcoin ETF by net assets, IBIT under BlackRock, saw a $1.34 billion outflow last week, the largest single-week outflow since its launch in January 2024. The ETF market has continued its negative outflow trend since May, with a total monthly outflow of $2.43 billion in May.

The Director of Research at Bitrue Institute, Andri Fauzan Adziima, stated that the primary driver of last week's ETF outflows was macroeconomic news, especially the recent US employment data. The strong May 2026 (non-farm payroll) report confirmed the resilience of the labor market, reducing the probability of a Fed rate cut in the short term. This, in turn, pushed up US bond yields, making yield-bearing bonds much more attractive than non-yielding Bitcoin.

In addition, geopolitical uncertainty has sparked broad risk aversion in recent trading days, impacting not only the digital assets market but also other sectors including AI, tech stocks, and gold. It is expected that the outflow pressure in early June will persist, but it will stabilize or turn slightly positive by the middle to late month, as panic sentiment bottoms out, June seasonal factors come into play, and any macro-level easing triggers inflows.
