Why is Bitcoin being criticized again while ETFs are fleeing?
In the past week (June 2-6), there was a net outflow of $131.6 million from Bitcoin spot ETFs in the United States, and this data is quite shocking.
Especially:
Fidelity FBTC: Outflow of $167.7 million
ARKB: Outflow of $24.5 million
However, BlackRock IBIT saw an inflow of $81.1 million.
The market panicked at once, trending on hot searches and X:
"Is this a collapse of faith, or is there a divergence?"
Let me help you summarize a bit:
1️⃣ Sentiment has changed, and everyone is starting to withdraw.
On June 5 alone, there was an outflow of $278 million, reportedly due to the controversy between Musk and Trump, triggering market panic.
2️⃣ Policy risks are heating up.
Although Trump supports cryptocurrency, his trade war has made the global market uneasy.
What people are worried about is not the coins, but external shocks.
3️⃣ Is capital flowing to Europe?
European ETFs have just opened to retail investors, and many institutions may be reallocating positions globally.
Cointelegraph reported that even global ETPs saw an outflow of $8 million last week.
📉 Short-term view:
Funds have left, price volatility is high, and BTC's upward momentum has been suppressed.
📈 Long-term view:
BTC's safe-haven properties and decentralized logic remain unchanged,
but now the market is more selective, more sensitive, and investors are more pragmatic.
✅ What do I personally think?
The inflow into IBIT indicates that investors do not lack faith in BTC, but are starting to choose platforms and strategies.
The market has changed, and we need to become smarter too.
What do you think about this wave of ETF outflows?
Is it a short-term trend or a structural shift?
