The scale of the withdrawals, particularly from <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> products, marked one of the weakest sessions in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Spot <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> ETFs recorded net outflows of $635.23 million, with every major flow firmly negative. No fund reported inflows during the session, underscoring the breadth of the selloff.<\/p>\n<p>Blackrock\u2019s IBIT led the retreat with a substantial $284.69 million exit, reinforcing the shift in institutional positioning after weeks of relatively resilient demand. Ark &amp; 21Shares\u2019 ARKB followed with $177.10 million in outflows, while Fidelity\u2019s FBTC lost another $133.22 million.<\/p>\n<p>Additional pressure came from Bitwise\u2019s BITB, which shed $35.40 million, and Valkyrie\u2019s BRRR, which posted a smaller $4.82 million outflow. Despite the weak flow picture, trading activity remained elevated at $1.99 billion, suggesting investors remain highly engaged even as sentiment turns defensive. Total net assets across <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> ETFs fell to $105.01 billion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_814018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-814018\" style=\"width:856px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/blackrock-leads-635m-bitcoin-etf-selloff-as-solana-demand-holds-firm_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260514%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260514T125656Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=600&amp;X-Amz-Signature=e7a2318761ef907804539f438bd350bd9eb64187c25c903a987ba33b4d9ab4ec\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-814018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two days of outflows worth almost $900 million for <span>bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ether<\/a> ETFs mirrored the broader caution, though on a more contained scale.
