Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs Break Outflow Trend with New Inflows

June 6, 2026

After weeks of experiencing significant outflows, US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw a glimmer of hope on June 4-5 as both categories managed to attract net inflows. Bitcoin ETFs pulled in around $3.05 million, while Ethereum ETFs received $19.30 million in inflows, putting an end to their prolonged streak of outflows.

Bitcoin ETFs had been facing a tough period with 13 consecutive days of outflows, during which investors withdrew approximately $4.4 billion from these products. On the other hand, Ethereum ETFs had an even longer 17-day outflow streak before the turnaround. Interestingly, the $19.30 million inflow that halted Ethereum’s outflows came entirely from BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust, highlighting the firm’s significant influence in the crypto ETF market.

BlackRock’s products have consistently been at the forefront of cryptocurrency ETF inflows, with their iShares Bitcoin Trust leading the pack. Currently, Ethereum ETF assets under management amount to roughly $9.78 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs have seen historical net inflows in the tens of billions, showcasing their dominance in the market.

The modest inflows seen on June 4-5 may not completely offset the previous outflows. Bitcoin’s $3.05 million recovery represents less than 0.1% of the amount that left the ETFs, indicating a minor improvement. Similarly, Ethereum’s $19.30 million inflow, although more significant relative to its AUM, still only makes a small dent in the overall outflows after 17 consecutive days.

The fact that both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw their outflow streaks broken on the same day suggests a broader shift in investor sentiment rather than a specific catalyst for each asset. This coordinated change in risk appetite may have played a role in the positive trend observed in both categories.

In conclusion, the recent inflows into US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs offer a ray of hope after a prolonged period of outflows. While the numbers are modest, the break in the streaks of both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs signifies a potential shift in investor sentiment and risk appetite. BlackRock’s continued influence in the crypto ETF market is evident, with their products playing a significant role in driving positive flows into these assets.
