According to<a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-btc-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> data from SoSoValue<\/a>, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT led the outflows by a wide margin, with withdrawals exceeding deposits by $966.42 million.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the market leader, Fidelity\u2019s FBTC and Grayscale\u2019s GBTC also registered significant capital flight, posting net outflows of $169.15 million and $175.09 million, respectively. Bitwise\u2019s BITB also recorded moderate net outflows of $46.30 million, while other mid-tier funds such as Grayscale\u2019s secondary product BTC and ARK Invest\/21Shares\u2019 ARKB saw smaller but negative flow balances\u00a0in the $20\u201330 million range.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, minor net outflows of $5.59 million were observed in Valkyrie Investments\u2019 BRRR, while Morgan Stanley posted a negligible withdrawal of around $966,650.\u00a0On the other hand, several issuers, including VanEck\u2019s HODL, Invesco\u2019s BTCO, Franklin Templeton\u2019s EZBC, WisdomTree\u2019s BTCW, and Hashdex\u2019s DEFI, recorded no net flows, indicating a pause in both buying and selling activity.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-682792 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-67.png?w=484&amp;resize=484%2C420\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"484\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-67.png?w=625 625w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-67.png?w=484 484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\"><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"861\">From a daily flow perspective, the situation appears strongly bearish, with withdrawals consistently outpacing deposits. Between May 26 and 29, the Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net outflows of $333.71 million on Tuesday, $733.43 million on Wednesday, $228.88 million on Thursday, and $125.31 million on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern reflects a broader monthly weakness as only 6 of 20 trading days in May recorded positive flows, while 14 closed in the red. Notably, every trading session in the second half of the month posted outflows, culminating in a total negative flow balance of $2.43 billion, the highest monthly net outflow recorded in 2026 and the largest since November 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Bitcoin Spot ETFs market remains in a strong, resilient position, with cumulative net inflows of $55.66 billion since their launch in 2024. Meanwhile, their total net assets are valued at $94.17 billion, representing 6.38% of the Bitcoin market cap.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"861\">Related Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/banks-vs-crypto-law-jpmorgan-ceo-doubles-down-on-clarity-opposition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Banks Vs.
