BlackRock’s IBIT Sees $430M Outflow, Ending 31-Day Inflow Streak

Key Takeaways: BlackRock’s IBIT ended its 31-day inflow streak with a record $430.8M outflow. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $616.1M in outflows on May 30 amid growing market caution. Bitcoin is consolidating below $110K, with rising volatility signals and key breakout zones in focus. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw a sharp reversal on May 30, recording $430.8 million in outflows and ending a 31-day inflow streak — the longest since the fund’s launch in January. According to Farside data , this marks IBIT’s largest daily outflow to date, surpassing the previous record of $418.1 million on February 26. The pullback comes after a strong month in which BlackRock accumulated nearly $6.2 billion in new Bitcoin holdings. IBIT Holds $70 Billion in Bitcoin ETF analyst Nate Geraci commented on the sudden shift, writing on X: “What a run over the past 30+ days, though.” He noted that IBIT now holds roughly $70 billion in Bitcoin, calling the figure “ridiculous” given the fund’s relatively short history. iShares Bitcoin ETF no outflows streak comes to an end… $400+mil exits fund. What a run over past 30+ days though. IBIT now pushing $70bil in assets *$70bil* Not sure I have words to describe how ridiculous this is. — Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) May 31, 2025 Across the broader U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market, the story was similar. The group of 11 funds posted $616.1 million in net outflows on May 30, marking a second consecutive day of redemptions. The previous day, May 29, saw $346.8 million in outflows, breaking a 10-day inflow streak. Interestingly, BlackRock bucked the trend on May 29 by recording an inflow while other issuers saw redemptions. “Every other issuer saw red. BlackRock kept buying… big brain energy right there,” Master Ventures founder Kyle Chasse commented. Chasse suggested the recent sell-off wasn’t driven by retail panic but reflected a “quiet transfer of supply to the strongest hands.” Despite the recent ETF activity, Bitcoin’s spot price remains under pressure. BTC is trading at $103,700, down 2.27% over the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap. In the week ending May 23, spot Bitcoin ETFs had posted $2.75 billion in inflows. Bitcoin Consolidates Below $110K Bitcoin is consolidating near key levels after its recent all-time high, with traders closely watching for signals of the next major move, according to Hyblock Capital’s latest market report. In a recent note shared with Cryptonews.com, Hyblock CEO Shubh Varma noted that Open Interest (OI) remains elevated in the 95th percentile, while combined order book liquidity is at 96%, reflecting a market primed for volatility. “The longer this range holds, the greater the odds of a sharp breakout or stop hunt,” Varma said. Retail stop-losses are reportedly concentrated at the edges of the current range, making them potential targets for liquidity-driven wicks. On Binance, resistance is building between $109.5K–$110.5K, while key support lies at $105K–$105.5K. A break below could open the door to $98K. A similar structure is forming on Bybit, with notable resistance at $110.5K–$111K and support zones mirroring Binance. Varma highlighted a shift in sentiment, with retail longs at 48% and leverage flipping to short-heavy positioning. This setup may fuel increased volatility if impatient traders rush into new positions. “The passive order book is highly stacked, and leverage indicators are leaning bearish,” Varma said. However, retail positioning near the 48% long mark has previously coincided with bullish reversals.
