  • Bitcoin Drops to $74,300 Amid $2.26 Billion Outflow from U.S. Spot ETFs
    May 23, 2026, 8:03 AM EDT. Bitcoin fell sharply to $74,305, its lowest since April 20, amid a $2.26 billion outflow from U.S.-listed spot ETFs over two weeks. The cryptocurrency is down more than 3% in 24 hours and about 10% from its May 6 peak near $82,500. Rising U.S. Treasury and global government bond yields are weighing on demand for riskier, non-yielding assets like Bitcoin. The $1.26 billion withdrawal this week marked the largest ETF outflow since January. Meanwhile, commodity markets see increased speculative investment due to potential supply disruptions linked to the Iran conflict, while some capital may be shifting toward the anticipated SpaceX IPO, spurring blockchain-based derivative activity.
