In brief - Bitcoin ETFs saw $105 million in outflows on Monday, while Ethereum ETFs shed $6.7 million as risk-off sentiment intensified amid Iran tensions. - Two HYPE ETFs have posted net buying for eight consecutive days, adding $10.95 million on Monday and $25.5 million last week. - Bitcoin traded at $76,700, down 0.7% over 24 hours, as Myriad users reduced the chances of a rally to $84,000 to 74%. Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds posted $112 million in combined outflows on Monday, while two Hyperliquid ETFs extended their winning streak to eight consecutive days of net buying. The divergence highlights a growing split in institutional appetite: legacy crypto funds are bleeding capital amid macro uncertainty, while newer products tied to Hyperliquid’s high-growth infrastructure thesis continue to attract demand. Bitcoin ETFs led the losses with $105.2 million in outflows, while Ethereum ETFs shed $6.7 million, according to SoSoValue data. The moves come as digital asset investment products recorded $1.47 billion in outflows last week, making it the third-largest weekly total of 2026, according to CoinShares. Bitcoin ETFs alone saw $1.315 billion in outflows, the largest weekly outflow of the year, while Ethereum funds recorded $223 million in outflows. CoinShares attributed the risk-off sentiment to ongoing geopolitical tensions related to the Iran conflict, with outflows extending beyond the U.S. to Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the two Hyperliquid ETFs have posted net buying for eight straight days, adding $10.95 million on Monday. The streak began on May 13 with a $1.17 million net addition and has included daily flows ranging from $4.4 million to $25.5 million, led by a $25.5 million print on May 20. The uptick in HYPE ETF flows comes as the token hit a new all-time high of $64.21 on Sunday, following a 2026 performance that has seen the token surge nearly 50% over the past month and clock over 140% year-to-date gains. The rally follows a successful launch of HYPE ETFs and institutional support, especially from Bitwise, which allocated 10% of the management fees from its newly launched Hyperliquid ETF (BHYP) to directly purchase and hold HYPE on its corporate balance sheet. Despite the contrasting flows, Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey Group, told Decrypt that the ETF outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum are being driven by a combination of price action and rising Treasury yields. ”Bitcoin’s price has actually dropped below the average purchase price of the ETFs, triggering a certain degree of selling pressure,” he said. ”Additionally, because the U.S. Treasury yield curve has shifted upward as a whole, it has suppressed the appetite for arbitrage capital.” Sun added that the market is in a wait-and-see period, with options data showing no clear directional preference from either institutional or retail investors. ”The market is primarily buying downside protection and reducing risk exposure, rather than making large-scale bets on a one-way crash or a rapid rebound,” he said. On Hyperliquid’s prospects, Sun cautioned that regulatory hurdles remain significant despite the platform’s growth. ”The CME and ICE recently jointly pressured Congress to call for scrutiny over it. Regulatory risks not only exist but are continuously growing,” he said. ”Conversely, though, this also proves that Hyperliquid’s own trading volume and business performance are remarkably prominent.” Bitcoin is currently trading at around $77,140, down 0.3% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data. On prediction market Myriad, owned by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, users now see a 74% chance that Bitcoin will retest $84,000 next, rather than dumping to $55,000. That number has dropped from 86% on May 14, in line with Bitcoin’s decline from $81,700 to $74,500 last weekend.
