- Bitcoin’s price fell approximately 16%, briefly trading below $60,000 before recovering to around $61,000.
- On June 3, spot bitcoin ETFs experienced a record outflow of about $4.4 billion over a span of thirteen consecutive sessions.
- Heavy withdrawals were noted on Friday with approximately 66,470 bitcoin and about 2.49 million ether moving off exchanges.
- Stablecoin outflows remained stable, indicating no unusual activity despite the market fluctuations.
