At the beginning of June, flows into cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) showed a defensive trend: Bitcoin-focused funds lost nearly half a billion dollars, while Ethereum-based products extended their outflow streak to 15 trading days. At the same time, $XRP and $HYPE ETFs once again attracted fresh capital, indicating that investors are still making selective bets beyond the largest crypto assets.

On May 26, a large investor whose identity remains unknown sold $1.26 billion worth of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF in a major over-the-counter (OTC) transaction. The entire position was sold below market price, contributing to Bitcoin's decline below the $73,000 level.
