U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Log $77.4M in Outflows; Ether Products Lose $40.9M

TL;DR:

• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $77.4 million in net outflows on June 9, while spot Ether ETFs lost $40.9 million.
• Bitcoin redemptions were led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust at $61.6 million and Fidelity’s FBTC at $20.2 million.
• Ether products reversed the previous day’s $82.4 million inflow, suggesting regulated crypto funds remain tactical risk tools rather than steady accumulation vehicles for now across both major listed assets.

U.S. spot crypto ETFs posted another negative flow session on June 9, with Bitcoin and Ether products losing a combined $118.3 million. The numbers were smaller than the deepest withdrawals earlier this month, but they still showed fragile demand for regulated crypto exposure. The uncomfortable signal is that redemptions are easing, not reversing, leaving investors to decide whether this is stabilization or simply a slower phase of the same de-risking cycle.

Bitcoin funds stay under redemption pressure

Spot Bitcoin ETFs accounted for $77.4 million in net outflows. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led the withdrawals with $61.6 million leaving the fund, while Fidelity’s FBTC lost another $20.2 million. Grayscale’s lower-fee Bitcoin product was the only tracked Bitcoin fund to show an inflow, adding $4.4 million. The pressure remains concentrated in major accumulation vehicles, which matters because these funds previously acted as important channels for institutional Bitcoin demand.

The latest session followed a $91.4 million Bitcoin ETF outflow on June 8, when BlackRock’s fund lost $232.9 million but other products helped offset part of the damage. Earlier in June, the selling was harsher: Bitcoin ETFs lost $483.8 million on June 1, $519.1 million on June 2, $396.6 million on June 3 and $325.7 million on June 5. The trend has improved only in degree, not direction, because no sustained inflow pattern has returned yet.

Ether products added a second layer of caution. Spot Ether ETFs recorded $40.9 million in outflows on June 9, reversing the prior day’s stronger $82.4 million inflow. BlackRock’s ETHA lost $8.5 million, Grayscale’s ETHE saw $17.4 million leave, and Grayscale’s lower-fee Ether product shed $15 million. Other Ether funds showed no net flow for the day, making the weakness narrower but still visible. The Ether flow pattern looks even more inconsistent, suggesting investors are still using crypto ETFs as tactical risk tools rather than steady accumulation vehicles. For markets, the question is whether shrinking redemptions become actual inflows. Until that happens across both Bitcoin and Ether funds, ETF demand may remain a warning light, not a support pillar for prices, liquidity and sentiment during this recovery attempt. That leaves allocators watching not just price charts, but whether regulated wrappers can attract fresh capital again this week.
