This extended a broader period of redemptions that had already included $1.4156 billion in weekly net outflows through May 30, marking a third straight week of withdrawals totaling more than $3.5 billion. Spot Ethereum ETFs also faced continued weakness, logging 13 straight days of net outflows totaling about $694 million.
