There has been a net withdrawal of more than $5 billion from these ETFs in only four weeks.
The US spot Bitcoin ETF witnessed $77.44M worth of outflows on June 9, adding to the ongoing streak of outflows.
Understand why investors no longer like Bitcoin spot ETFs. As of June 9th, the eleven spot ETFs’ combined net assets were at $77.58 billion. That was the level in early November 2024, just after President Trump’s victory. The US spot Bitcoin ETF witnessed $77.44M worth of outflows on June 9, adding to the ongoing streak of outflows.
This is not to discount the growth of the ETFs over the course of the nineteen months. Bitcoin and ETF assets were propelled higher by the expectation that Trump will fulfill his campaign pledge of more accommodating crypto regulation. Within a week of this election triumph, total net assets surpassed $90 billion and reached a record high of $169.54 billion in October 2025.
Inflation Fears and AI Boom
Even though the Trump administration discontinued some high-profile enforcement cases by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), these advantages made after the election have now been eroded. The United States has set aside a strategic bitcoin reserve, and in Washington, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is making progress toward its goals of defining the scope of authority for the SEC and the CFTC and providing the sector with more legitimacy.
So, even if regulations are more favorable than they have ever been, investors are fleeing, causing the net assets to fall. There has been a net withdrawal of more than $5 billion from these ETFs in only four weeks.
After reaching an all-time high of $62.77 billion in October 2025—when bitcoin was at its peak—the cumulative net inflows have since dropped over $9 billion to $53.77 billion, their lowest point since August of last year. Recent withdrawals from the ETFs have been attributed by analysts to macro reasons, namely high inflation and also funds moving towards AI investments.
