US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Break $1.7B Inflow Streak as BTC Drops Below $80K
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw their first daily net outflow in May, totaling $277.5 million, ending a five-day streak of approximately $1.7 billion in inflows as Bitcoin's price dropped below $80,000. Major contributors to the outflows were the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with $129 million and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) with $98 million. This shift followed Bitcoin's volatility, falling from over $82,000 on Wednesday.
Amid the broader outflow, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) recorded modest inflows of $7.3 million, maintaining its record of zero outflows since its April 2026 launch. The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) also saw inflows. Concurrently, the 21Shares Canton Network ETF (TCAN) debuted on Nasdaq, offering direct exposure to Canton Coin.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index moved back into "Fear" territory at 38 on Friday, though it remains above its April average, reflecting mixed market sentiment despite Bitcoin's 11% gain over the past month.
