Bitcoin ETFs recorded heavy outflows last week as investors shifted capital across markets. Data shows $1.257 billion exited spot Bitcoin ETFs between May 18 and May 22. At the same time, a memory chip ETF surged in popularity and broke growth records on Wall Street.
Crypto prices remained largely stable despite the outflows during the same period. Bitcoin rose just 0.6%, while select altcoins posted stronger gains.
Bitcoin ETFs See Outflows While Altcoins Draw Select Interest
Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $1.257 billion in net outflows over five trading days. The withdrawals marked one of the largest weekly exits this year. Ethereum ETFs also faced pressure during the same period. They recorded about $216 million in net outflows across the week.
The data suggests investors reduced exposure to large-cap crypto assets. Some funds appear to have rotated into other opportunities. However, not all crypto ETFs experienced selling pressure. Spot Solana ETFs attracted slightly over $15 million in net inflows.
Spot XRP ETFs also recorded positive demand. They brought in around $22 million in new capital. Funds tied to Hyperliquid’s HYPE token saw stronger activity. They attracted $72.38 million in net inflows during the same period.
The inflows aligned with HYPE’s price surge. The token climbed roughly 40% over the week. Market data shows investors shifted focus toward selected altcoins. Capital flows reflected targeted positioning rather than broad market exits.
