U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a fresh wave of outflows. Over five trading days, around $1.26 billion exited 11 funds — something the market usually interprets as a weak signal for $BTC. However, analysts at Santiment see it differently: such periods often create conditions for steady accumulation rather than panic.
During a difficult week for crypto ETFs, institutional investor sentiment shifted sharply: more than $1.2 billion flowed out of Bitcoin ETFs, while Ethereum-based products extended their prolonged decline. At the same time, capital continued flowing into $XRP, Solana, and Hyperliquid-related products, highlighting growing interest in alternative crypto narratives.
According to BRN, Bitcoin remains below $78,000 amid spot ETF outflows, geopolitical tensions, and weaker trading activity caused by public holidays in the U.S. and Europe. Analysts also highlighted that spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.26 billion in outflows between May 18 and May 22.
