US-listed spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) exchange-traded funds recorded net outflows of US$4.5 billion in June 2026, the largest monthly withdrawal since the products launched in January 2024, as Bitcoin fell 20.48% during the month.

The June outflows exceeded the previous monthly record of US$3.56 billion set in February 2025, while BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust accounted for US$3.55 billion, or about 79%, of total redemptions.

Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) ETFs recorded US$528.99 million in net outflows during June, while Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) ETFs posted net outflows of about US$786,580, marking the first monthly withdrawals since those products launched.

The data also showed investors continued allocating capital to selected altcoin funds, with XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) ETFs attracting US$59.46 million in net inflows and Hyperliquid (CRYPTO:HYPE) ETFs recording US$161.05 million in inflows.

Bitcoin closed four of the first six months of 2026 in negative territory, with June marking its steepest monthly decline since June 2022, when the cryptocurrency fell 37.28%.

The June ETF data suggests institutional investors reduced exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum during the market downturn, while some capital shifted into newer cryptocurrency investment products rather than leaving the sector altogether.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $59,200.51.
