Bitcoin and Ether ETFs End 8-Week Outflow Streak With $282 Million in Inflows

Jul 13, 2026 — Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finally snapped their eight-week outflow streaks, pulling in a combined $282 million as institutional demand showed signs of recovery. Spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $197.4 million in net inflows, while spot ether ETFs added $84.42 million, according to data from Sosovalue.

Immediate Details & Direct Quotes

The recovery was led by BlackRock’s IBIT, which attracted $291.9 million in inflows for the week ending July 10. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust also saw strong demand with $95.1 million. Smaller inflows came through Morgan Stanley’s MSBT ($13.2 million), VanEck’s HODL ($9 million), and Bitwise’s BITB ($5.1 million).

However, the week wasn’t entirely positive. Grayscale’s GBTC lost $108.2 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC saw $93.4 million in outflows. Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB shed $15.3 million. The daily flow pattern showed a choppy recovery: bitcoin ETFs added $265.69 million on Monday and $21.44 million on Tuesday, then slipped into outflows of $84.86 million on Wednesday and $95.30 million on Thursday before closing with $90.44 million in inflows on Friday.

On the ether side, ETFs followed a steadier path. The category added $20.66 million on Monday, $26.93 million on Tuesday, and $70.48 million on Wednesday. Thursday brought a $52.08 million outflow, but Friday’s $18.43 million inflow secured a positive weekly close.

Market Context & Reaction

Sosovalue’s weekly update noted the pattern showed improved bitcoin ETF demand, though the recovery remains uneven. Weekly inflows represented about 0.26% of bitcoin ETF assets, based on $77.42 billion in weekend assets under management. That was enough to end the long outflow streak but still short of a strong allocation cycle.

Bitcoin’s rebound to around $63,000 suggested demand near the $60,000 area remains resilient, according to Sosovalue. Friday’s inflows showed institutions were still willing to re-enter during pullbacks.

Ether’s structure looked stronger relative to bitcoin. Based on weekend AUM of about $9.59 billion, ether ETF inflows represented roughly 0.88% of total assets — more than three times bitcoin’s relative flow intensity. ETH rose to around $1,780, while total net assets recovered from recent lows.

Sosovalue said Federal Reserve policy, inflation data, and jobs reports will determine if ETF inflows can be sustained.

Background & Historical Context

The $282 million combined inflow marked a significant turn after eight consecutive weeks of redemptions for both bitcoin and ether ETFs. The prolonged outflow period had raised concerns about institutional appetite for crypto exposure amid macroeconomic uncertainty.

Altcoin ETFs showed mixed results during the same period. Spot HYPE ETFs drew $10.36 million in net inflows despite ending Friday with a $5.73 million outflow. Spot Solana ETFs posted a modest $930,400 in net inflows. XRP ETFs were weaker, recording $7.18 million in net outflows driven mainly by Wednesday’s $7.29 million exit.

The recovery has not fully repaired the damage from two months of selling, but the pressure has eased significantly.

What This Means

Heading into the new week, the recovery’s durability will depend on whether inflation, employment data, and Federal Reserve expectations continue moving in a more supportive direction for risk assets like crypto.

For traders, the return to positive ETF flows signals that institutional investors may be finding value at current price levels, particularly near bitcoin’s $60,000 support zone. Ether’s stronger relative flow intensity suggests growing conviction in the asset among ETF investors.

Market participants should watch for sustained daily inflows in the coming week as confirmation that the outflow trend has truly reversed. A repeat of negative days could signal the recovery is fragile.
