Bitcoin's cumulative inflow position has seen a significant decline, dropping from $4.9 billion to $2.6 billion in just two weeks, reflecting a dip in investor confidence. Meanwhile, nine altcoin ETPs have attracted inflows exceeding $1 million, with XRP leading the pack at $31.8 million, followed by Solana at $7.7 million and Near Protocol at $9 million. This downturn in Bitcoin's price is attributed to the expiration of over $4 billion in IBIT options contracts, which eliminated the support that had kept Bitcoin close to $80,000, amid a challenging macro environment influenced by geopolitical risks, rising bond yields, and a softening equity market.

(UPDATED May 27, 2026 12:03 UTC)

Bitcoin experienced a significant setback with $1.315 billion in outflows, marking the largest single-week withdrawal of 2026, while crypto exchange-traded products saw a total of $1.47 billion in outflows, primarily driven by Bitcoin funds. The cumulative inflow position for Bitcoin dropped sharply from $4.9 billion to $2.6 billion in just two weeks, as geopolitical risks involving Iran, rising bond yields, and a softening equity market weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Additionally, the expiration of over $4 billion in IBIT options contracts contributed to the decline by removing the support that had kept Bitcoin close to $80,000, although nine altcoin ETPs, led by XRP with $31.8 million, did attract some inflows.

(UPDATED May 27, 2026 10:17 UTC)

Bitcoin's price has faced rejection at a critical level that has served as both resistance and support for nearly five years, coinciding with a significant $1.3 billion sale of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, the largest recorded on a dark pool. This downturn in Bitcoin's value is further influenced by rising US Treasury yields, with the 10-year at 4.62% and the 30-year at 5.14%, marking new cycle highs. Additionally, the expiration of over $4 billion in IBIT options contracts has contributed to the breakdown, removing the support that had kept Bitcoin close to $80,000.

Bitcoin saw significant outflows of $1.315 billion, surpassing its previous peak from late January 2026, while year-to-date inflows dropped sharply from $3.9 billion to $2.6 billion in just one week. The US accounted for the majority of these outflows, totaling $1.425 billion, as geopolitical risks related to Iran, rising bond yields, and a softening equity market contributed to the decline.

(UPDATED May 27, 2026 04:19 UTC)

Despite the overall outflows in crypto funds, nine altcoin ETPs saw inflows of more than $1 million, highlighting some interest in the market. The recent volatility in Bitcoin was influenced by the expiration of over $4 billion in IBIT options contracts, which removed the support that had previously kept the cryptocurrency near the $80,000 mark.

Bitcoin's cumulative inflow position has dropped significantly from $4.9 billion to $2.6 billion in just two weeks, coinciding with its price falling below $78,000 after the expiration of over $4 billion in IBIT options contracts.
