The Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been experiencing a prolonged period of negative performance.
Galaxy Research reports that net outflows of $6.35 billion over the past 30 days have caused U.S. spot Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs to record their worst monthly performance since their inception.
This number is the highest of all 582 rolling 30-day periods that the firm tracks, highlighting a notable exodus of institutional capital from Bitcoin investment products.
If the trend continues, such prolonged outflows could lessen the short-term demand support for Bitcoin prices. Needless to say, these outflows usually indicate waning investor sentiment, profit-taking, or a more general shift toward risk-off positioning.

Winners and losers of Bitcoin ETF
During these 30 days, BlackRock’s IBIT experienced the biggest outflows, totaling $4.51 billion, making it the loser of the month. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT, on the other hand, saw $1.25 billion in inflows after winning in these 30 days.
While this happened, Bitcoin’s price dropped from about $76K in early May to $64K at the time of publication.
As can be seen, it’s the Bitcoin price that triggered the outflows, which caused the price to move from a bullish to a bearish zone.
How other ETFs are performing?
While Bitcoin ETFs experienced a difficult period, spot Ethereum [ETH] ETFs also saw $1.149 billion outflows. In the ETH space too, BlackRock’s ETHA saw the largest outflows, while Fidelity’s FETH saw the largest inflows.
As for the Solana [SOL] ETF, it received $113.34 million in inflows in these 30 days.

Franklin Templeton’s new Bitcoin ETF filing
However, in the face of this lackluster momentum, Franklin Templeton submitted a proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to establish a new ETF that would turn stock dividends into exposure to Bitcoin.
According to a recent filing, the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF is the proposed product that aims to replicate the VettaFi US Large-Cap 500 Bitcoin DRIP Index.
Final Summary
- In these past 30 days, BlackRock’s IBIT experienced the biggest outflows, whereas Morgan Stanley’s MSBT saw the largest inflows.
- Ethereum ETF followed similar pattern as Bitcoin ETF but Solana ETF, XRP ETF and HYPE ETF took a different route.
