U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs ended a thirteen-day run of net outflows on 5 June 2026, with roughly 4.4 billion dollars pulled since mid-May, the longest such streak since their 2024 launch. Bitcoin traded around 62,000 to 64,000 dollars at the close of the period, following a sharp monthly decline. Assets under management in these funds fell from about 104 billion to 80 billion dollars.
On 2 June 2026, the SEC published its draft strategic plan for fiscal years 2026 to 2030, placing digital assets at the heart of its priorities.

The draft is open for public comment until 2 July 2026.
On 3 June 2026, the SEC granted accelerated approval for the Nasdaq listing of the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, an actively managed fund.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) sold about 32 bitcoin for roughly 2.5 million dollars, its first sale since 2022, according to a filing disclosed in early June. The company says it acted to fund distributions tied to its preferred stock and still holds around 843,000 bitcoin. The sale is tiny but marks a break from its continuous accumulation strategy.
In late May 2026, the CFTC for the first time allowed perpetual futures on crypto assets at regulated U.S. venues, through clearances granted to Kalshi and Coinbase.

The transitional period of MiCA, the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, ends on 1 July 2026.
