BTC1.10%
ETH2.58%

U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds recorded a combined $281.8 million in net inflows over the five trading days ending Friday, ending eight-week outflow streaks for both asset classes, according to The Block's analysis of SoSoValue data. The spot Bitcoin ETFs posted approximately $197.4 million in net inflows for the week, while spot Ether ETFs added approximately $84.4 million, marking the first positive weekly results since the five days ending May 8. The reversal followed an eight-week period that drained about $8.26 billion from Bitcoin products and about $1.20 billion from Ether products, representing the longest losing streaks since Bitcoin ETFs began trading in January 2024.

Bitcoin ETFs Record $197.4 Million Weekly Inflows After Eight-Week Decline

The spot Bitcoin ETFs posted approximately $197.4 million in net inflows for the week ending Friday, according to SoSoValue data. The funds last recorded a positive week in the five days ending May 8, when they brought in roughly $622.7 million. The eight-week losing streak that preceded this reversal was the longest since the funds began trading in January 2024.

The week began with a $265.69 million inflow on Monday, followed by a smaller $21.44 million addition Tuesday. Investors then pulled a combined $180.16 million on Wednesday and Thursday before the funds recovered with $90.44 million in net inflows Friday. Monday's inflow alone exceeded the eventual weekly total.

Friday's inflows were concentrated in two products: BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) took in $86.83 million, while VanEck's HODL added $3.61 million. The remaining Bitcoin funds reported no net flows. The Block reported last weekend that the holiday-shortened week ending July 2 produced about $527 million in outflows.

Ether ETFs Post $84.4 Million Inflows Ending Record-Matching Slide

Spot Ether ETFs posted approximately $84.4 million in weekly net inflows, also their first positive result since the week ending May 8. The funds had shed about $1.20 billion over the preceding eight weeks. That losing run matched the category's record, previously set between late February and mid-April 2025, The Block reported last weekend.

Ether funds recorded inflows during four of the week's five sessions. Wednesday produced the largest gain at $70.48 million, while Thursday's $52.08 million outflow was the week's only negative day. Friday added another $18.43 million, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $16.20 million and Fidelity's FETH drawing $2.23 million. The eight other products were flat for the session.

Weekly Inflows Recover Small Fraction of Multi-Billion Dollar Outflows

The turnaround remains modest compared with the preceding selloff. Bitcoin ETFs recovered approximately 2.4% of the capital lost during their eight negative weeks, while the Ether funds recovered about 7%, according to The Block's analysis of SoSoValue data.

Both groups remain in negative territory for the year. Bitcoin ETFs have recorded roughly $5.34 billion in net outflows since the start of 2026, while Ether funds have lost about $1.35 billion. Bitcoin ETF net assets stood at $77.42 billion Friday against $51.28 billion in cumulative net inflows since launch. Ether ETF net assets totaled $9.59 billion, about $1.38 billion below the category's $10.97 billion in cumulative inflows.

Trading Volumes Hit Multi-Month Lows Despite Return to Inflows

Trading activity remained subdued despite the return to inflows. Bitcoin ETF trading volume totaled about $8.41 billion for the week, the lowest figure for a full five-session week since October 2024. Ether ETF trading volume came to roughly $2.05 billion, its lowest full-week total since May 2025.

Bitcoin traded near $64,300 on Saturday morning, while Ether changed hands around $1,810, according to The Block's Bitcoin and Ethereum price pages.
