BlackRock has witnessed its largest weekly outflow of the year after it recorded steady withdrawals every day of the past week while the broad Bitcoin ETF market also bled massively.
While BlackRock has maintained its dominance in the Bitcoin ETF market, it has once again suffered the major share of the total outflow seen last week according to data showcased by Arkham Intelligence Platform on Monday, May 25.
BlackRock makes biggest 2026 Bitcoin sale
The data revealed that BlackRock had sold Bitcoin every single day last week, with the total amounting to a whopping $1.01 billion worth of Bitcoin as of the end of the week. This marks the biggest outflow BlackRock recorded since November 2025.
The poor weekly performance came at a time of extreme volatility when the broad crypto market is seeing sentiments flip bearish and the price of leading cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin remained constantly in the red.
As such, it appears that institutional investors are pulling back amid the growing uncertainties, withdrawing their funds from exchanges to hedge against further losses.
Following the rise in selling pressure across institutions, the Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined outflow of $1.26 billion for the week. This suggests that BlackRock suffered the lion's share as usual.
Bitcoin price outlook
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $77,443, showing a decent recovery from the level it traded at on the last day. This marks a mild price increase of 0.45%.
While Bitcoin had started the new month on a strong foot, investors' confidence is beginning to grow weak and market participants are beginning to predict further price declines for the asset.
While it remains uncertain if Bitcoin would break out from current resistance soon, speculations predict that it could continue to plunge deeper if the bearish momentum prevails.
