US-listed Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $4.5 billion in net outflows during June 2026, their worst monthly result since launching in January 2024. Bitcoin also dropped 20.48%, marking its steepest monthly fall since June 2022.

Record Withdrawals Deepen Bitcoin’s June Decline

June’s redemptions exceeded the previous monthly record of $3.56 billion. February 2025 held that record during an earlier period of market stress. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust accounted for most of the withdrawals. IBIT lost $3.55 billion, equal to nearly 79% of all Bitcoin ETF outflows recorded during June.

That single-fund total nearly matched the category’s former monthly record. Bitcoin also closed four of 2026’s first six months lower. In June 2022, the asset fell 37.28%.

XRP and Hyperliquid Funds Attract Fresh Capital

Ethereum ETFs followed Bitcoin into negative territory and posted $528.99 million in June outflows, according to SoSoValue data. Solana ETFs also recorded about $786,580 in net withdrawals. The Solana figure remained small compared with Bitcoin and Ethereum losses. Still, it marked the first negative month for Solana ETFs and ended their run of positive monthly flows.

Meanwhile, XRP ETFs attracted $59.46 million in inflows, while Hyperliquid ETFs led the group with $161.05 million. The flows show investors withdrew from larger products while adding money to newer categories.

Trump Filing Reveals More Than $500M in Exposure

At the same time, President Donald Trump listed two cryptocurrency wallet assets in an ethics filing on Tuesday. He valued each wallet at more than $50 million and described both as cold-storage Bitcoin holdings. Forbes estimated Trump’s total Bitcoin exposure at more than $500 million after including his indirect share of Trump Media’s investments. Representatives of the Trump Organization and White House did not immediately comment.

One holding is reported within the entity that holds Trump's stake in World Liberty Financial. The venture generated nearly $800 million from public offerings, much of it between the election and inauguration. CIC Digital LLC, which launched Trump’s memecoin, holds the second disclosed wallet. The company collected more than $635 million in royalties from the token project.

Trump Media announced plans last summer to invest in Bitcoin. The wider Trump Organization later joined companies adding the asset to their balance sheets. Michael Saylor’s Strategy built a large Bitcoin stockpile and inspired more than 200 corporate imitators. Eric Trump publicly praised the balance-sheet strategy in September.

Bitcoin rose 82% between Election Day and October 2025 as the administration softened the government’s approach toward digital assets. The cryptocurrency later fell 53% from that level.

What’s Next? 

June’s record $4.5 billion Bitcoin ETF outflows reflected mounting pressure as Bitcoin fell 20.48%, while XRP and Hyperliquid funds attracted fresh capital. Trump’s disclosed crypto wallets also pushed his estimated Bitcoin exposure above $500 million. Investors should watch July price action and fund flows for signs of renewed demand.
