The combined exit marks the sharpest sustained outflow episode from the two flagship crypto ETF categories since early 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The capital is not leaving the asset class \u2014 it is rotating. Funds tracking Hyperliquid&#8217;s <strong>HYPE<\/strong> token absorbed approximately <strong>$72 million<\/strong> in inflows across two newly launched U.S. spot products, while <strong>XRP<\/strong>-linked ETFs attracted <strong>$22 million<\/strong> and <strong>SOL<\/strong> funds added <strong>$15.6 million<\/strong> over the same stretch, <em>per CoinDesk<\/em>. The divergence in flows underscores a tactical pivot by some institutional allocators toward narrative-driven, higher-beta tokens over broad large-cap exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HYPE<\/strong> itself hit a new all-time high of <strong>$64.21<\/strong> on May 24, gaining <strong>+59%<\/strong> for the month. The token is supported by a structural protocol mechanic that directs approximately <strong>97%<\/strong> of platform fees toward continuous token buybacks, providing a persistent bid independent of external sentiment. Hyperliquid&#8217;s expanding product suite \u2014 perpetual futures on equities, commodities, and pre-IPO assets \u2014 has drawn particular interest from European traders facing limited access to equivalent instruments on regulated domestic venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BTC<\/strong> is currently trading near <strong>$77,300<\/strong>, down roughly <strong>2.7%<\/strong> on the week after briefly testing the <strong>$74,344<\/strong> level over the weekend. BlackRock&#8217;s IBIT reported <strong>$61.45 million<\/strong> in single-day outflows on Wednesday and Fidelity&#8217;s FBTC logged an additional <strong>$10.12 million<\/strong>, <em>according to Investing.com<\/em>. Morgan Stanley&#8217;s MSBT was among the few products registering modest inflows during the streak. On the Ether side, BlackRock&#8217;s ETHA led outflows at <strong>$184.59 million<\/strong> for the week, with only 21Shares&#8217; ETHB finishing in positive territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bifurcation in fund flows \u2014 steady exits from large-cap products alongside targeted buying in altcoin ETFs \u2014 points to a tactical rather than structural rotation. Whether this broadens into a sustained altcoin rally or reverses as <strong>BTC<\/strong> stabilizes around the <strong>$77,000<\/strong> support zone will be the central market question heading into this week, with PCE data, jobless claims, and housing figures all scheduled to test the macro backdrop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $1.26 billion in net outflows last week, extending a six-day streak<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-market"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":387,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385\/revisions\/387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
