U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs post $1.55 billion outflows as HYPE and XRP funds gain

Since May 14, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States have seen sustained withdrawals, while HYPE and XRP spot ETFs attracted fresh inflows, indicating a shift in investor allocations.

Summary

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded $1.55 billion in net outflows across six trading days since May 14, according to the provided data. Over the same period, HYPE spot ETFs brought in $72 million and XRP spot ETFs added $22 million.
