BlackRock clients pull $300M from Bitcoin ETF amid wave of institutional outflows
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded another significant redemption event, with clients pulling over $300 million from the fund, according to data from Farside Investors.
The numbers behind the selloff
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $231 million in net outflows on Monday, bringing their cumulative net outflows for the month to approximately $4.3 billion.
BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for the majority of the withdrawals, with roughly $3.3 billion in net outflows during the period. That means the fund represented about 77% of all redemptions across the US spot Bitcoin ETF market since June 1.
The pressure was also evident on a daily basis. On June 26, IBIT posted a single-day net outflow of $444.5 million, marking its largest daily redemption of the month.
Why institutions are selling now
Rising Treasury yields have created pressure on large institutional portfolios to rebalance.
Money allocated to Bitcoin exposure becomes a candidate for rotation into assets that now offer more attractive yields with far less volatility.
Bitcoin remained under pressure, falling to $59,558 after briefly climbing above $60,600 earlier in the day.

High interest rates are not the "end" of US stocks? Is profitability the real key?
JPMorgan believes that profit growth is the key factor determining the resilience of U.S. stock valuations. Data since 1950 shows an "inverted U-shaped" relationship between the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and S&P 500 valuations. Based on current profit levels, yields would need to reach about 5%-6% to significantly compress valuations. As long as profit growth remains above 15%, there is still room for valuations to be re-rated. If the yield curve steepens in a bear market, cyclical sectors such as energy and financials will benefit more; if it flattens, technology stocks will have a relative advantage.
