Bitcoin ETFs Post $5.4 Billion in Net Outflows in First Half of 2026, First Negative Period Since Launch

According to DWF Labs analysis, spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $5.4 billion in net outflows during the first half of 2026, marking their first negative half-year since launch. BlackRock's IBIT contributed $5 billion of those outflows across May and June alone.

Ether ETFs also ended H1 2026 in negative territory for the first time, with $1.47 billion in net outflows. DWF Labs attributed the capital outflow to increased investor focus on artificial intelligence, noting that crypto infrastructure fundamentals remain strong with approximately $80 billion still held across bitcoin ETF products.
