Capital inflows into US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) have slowed over the past few days, mirroring the waning momentum in the cryptocurrency market at the moment. With global trade tensions resurfacing in the past few days, investors appear to be approaching the world’s largest crypto market and other risk assets with some level of caution.

According to the latest market data, the spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced more than $157 million in total net outflows over the last trading week. This latest round of net capital withdrawals suggests a declining appetite for crypto-linked financial products and the return of negative sentiment among US investors.

BlackRock’s IBIT Ends Month-Long Streak Of Positive Inflows

On Friday, May 30th, the Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a daily total net outflow of $616.22 million. Data from SoSoValue shows that Friday’s $616.22 withdrawal marked the second-straight day of outflows for the US-based Bitcoin ETFs after seeing $358.65 million flow out of the funds on Thursday, May 29th.

Leading the pack, BlackRock’s IBIT (the largest BTC exchange-traded fund by net assets) posted a daily total net outflow of $430.82 million to close the week. This Friday’s performance snaps its longest streak of inflows yet (34 days of capital influx), albeit with three days of zero netflow.

Meanwhile, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (with the ticker ARKB) came in second, with a daily cumulative outflow of $120.14 million on Friday. Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC), and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) were the only other US-based Bitcoin ETFs that recorded any activity on the day, registering $35.33 million, $16.22 million, and $13.71 million, respectively, to close the week.

The exchange-traded funds’ performances in the last two trading days of the week pushed the ETFs’ weekly record into negative territory. As mentioned earlier, the US Bitcoin ETF market witnessed over $157 million in total net outflows in the past week, putting an end to a six-week streak of positive capital influx (over $9 billion inflows).

Bitcoin Price And Spot ETFs

As shown in the past, there is no doubt about the direct relationship that exists between the US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs and the price of BTC. The financial products’ capital flow slowed down as the premier cryptocurrency moved farther away from its recently acquired all-time high price of $111,871.

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $104,424, reflecting a mere 0.4% increase in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency has lost nearly 3% of its value in the last seven days.

After Aave's Exit and TVL's Sharp Fluctuation, Where Does MegaETH's Valuation Anchor Lie?

Following the withdrawal of Aave and a sharp drop in its Total Value Locked (TVL), the valuation of the high-performance DeFi blockchain MegaETH faces scrutiny. Once a highly anticipated project with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) reaching around $2 billion, MegaETH saw its TVL plummet from a May peak of $245 million to just over $30 million in July, a roughly 70% decline. Its native token, MEGA, currently trades around $0.048 with a market cap of approximately $54 million and an FDV of about $480 million. The report identifies a core vulnerability: MegaETH's TVL was heavily dependent on a single protocol, Aave V3, which at its peak contributed around 90% of the chain's TVL. A significant portion of this capital is attributed to leveraged yield-farming strategies involving stablecoins like USDe. When the profitability of these strategies diminished, capital rapidly exited, exposing the lack of diversified, sustainable activity. Three key mismatches between MegaETH's valuation and its fundamentals are highlighted: 1. **Valuation vs. Real Usage:** With an FDV of ~$4.8B but only ~$1M in annualized protocol revenue and ~2,600 daily active addresses, the valuation appears disconnected from current economic activity. 2. **Token Narrative vs. Ecosystem Reality:** Despite its DeFi narrative, nearly 80% of the chain's recent protocol revenue comes from a trading card game, Monster, not from core DeFi applications like Aave. The chain's native stablecoin, USDM, also shows low trading volume and a declining market cap. 3. **Short-Term Hype vs. Long-Term Delivery:** Initial hype from token generation, blue-chip integrations, and influencer support has faded. Major protocols like Uniswap now hold minimal TVL on the chain, indicating that early capital was largely transient and driven by incentives rather than organic demand. The situation reflects a broader market trend where investors are becoming less tolerant of valuations based on inflated TVL and narrative, demanding clearer evidence of sustainable transactions, revenue, and ecosystem development. While MEGA's price may experience short-term rebounds from market sentiment, a fundamental re-rating likely depends on the team's ability to convert its remaining resources into tangible, user-retaining applications and genuine ecosystem growth.
