BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, the product that turned "institutional demand" into a tidy bull-market slogan, just ran the slogan in reverse. IBIT shed roughly $1.3 billion during the week of June 22 to 26, about 73% of the $1.79 billion that fled the entire US spot Bitcoin ETF complex.
Zoom out and it's worse. US spot Bitcoin ETFs bled $4.06 billion across June, the largest monthly redemption since the products launched in January 2024, with IBIT alone accounting for roughly $3.3 billion, about 75% of the total.
