US-listed Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $4.5 billion in net outflows during June 2026. This was the worst monthly figure since the products launched in January 2024.
The redemptions coincided with a sharp price decline. Bitcoin fell 20.48% over the month, its steepest monthly drop since June 2022, when the asset shed 37.28% during that cycle’s collapse.

June’s outflows broke the previous monthly record of $3.56 billion, set in February 2025 during an earlier stretch of market stress.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust CAPITALCOM:IBIT accounted for the bulk of the outflows. The fund alone shed $3.55 billion, close to 79% of the .
That concentration is striking. IBIT’s single-fund outflow nearly matched the entire category’s prior monthly record on its own.
The price data reinforces the pressure. Bitcoin first six months in negative territory, with June’s 20.48% decline the deepest of the year.
How Crypto ETFs Performed in June 2026
The weakness extended beyond Bitcoin, though the scale varied across categories. Ethereum BITSTAMP:ETHUSD ETFs posted $528.99 million in June outflows, SoSoValue data showed.
Solana COINBASE:SOLUSD ETFs recorded net outflows of roughly $786,580. The figure is small, but it marks the first monthly outflow for Solana ETFs since their launch, ending a run of positive months.
Not every category turned negative. XRP BITSTAMP:XRPUSD ETFs drew $59.46 million in net inflows during June, holding positive despite the broader downturn.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETFs led the group with $161.05 million in inflows, the strongest June showing across the products.
The split suggests capital rotated within crypto rather than exiting entirely. Newer altcoin products absorbed fresh money even as the two largest categories saw sustained redemptions.
Whether that rotation hardens will depend on how Bitcoin trades in July, since a price rebound could pull capital back toward the incumbents.
