Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $290.42M in outflows on May 15, with all 12 funds posting no inflows, per SoSoValue data.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a broad pullback on May 15, as all twelve U.S. funds reported no net inflows.

According to SoSoValue data, the products posted $290.42 million in total net outflows.

The move came as weekly withdrawals reached about $1 billion. It also ended a six-week run of inflows worth $3.4 billion.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post $290 Million Daily Outflow

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $290.42 million in net outflows on May 15, Eastern Time. None of the twelve listed funds saw net inflows, according to SoSoValue data.

The daily loss was the second-largest outflow this month. It followed a sharp withdrawal on Wednesday, when $635 million left the funds.

The latest data pushed weekly flows to about minus $1 billion. That marked the first weekly net outflow in six weeks.

It was also the largest weekly Bitcoin ETF outflow since January. The change ended a six-week inflow streak worth $3.4 billion.

Bitcoin held near $82,000 during the pullback. Market desks continued to watch the $80,000 level as a key price area.

Ethereum ETFs Extend Five-Day Outflow Streak

Spot Ethereum ETFs also reported fresh withdrawals during the same period. The funds posted $65.65 million in net outflows on May 15.

Ethereum ETF products recorded outflows across all five trading sessions. Total withdrawals for the week reached about $254 million.

The data showed weaker demand across both major crypto ETF markets. Bitcoin and Ethereum funds both faced selling pressure from investors.

ETF flows are often watched as a gauge of institutional demand. They can also show short-term changes in risk appetite.

The outflows came after strong inflows earlier in the year. They also followed a period of wider market movement across technology assets.
