Bitcoin ETFs flip negative for 2026 after $1.28 billion outflow week, worst since June

BlackRock’s IBIT, the industry-leading bitcoin exchange-traded fund, accounted for 98% of Friday’s outflows, with $403 million leaving the fund. The withdrawal came during a week when bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $1.28 billion in net outflows, the worst weekly total since June. Those redemptions pushed the bitcoin ETF category into negative territory for 2026. BlackRock is the asset manager behind the fund, and the figures refer to net withdrawals from the funds.
