Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds ended an eight-week streak of outflows, posting a combined $282 million in net inflows and marking the first positive week for both product categories since mid-May.
Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds ended an eight-week streak of outflows, posting a combined $282 million in net inflows and marking the first positive week for both product categories since mid-May.
The reversal, first reported by The Block, covers both U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs and spot ether ETFs, which had each logged consecutive weekly net outflows stretching back roughly two months. For related coverage, see Spot Bitcoin ETFs Hit Record $4.5B June Outflows.
Eight Weeks of Selling Pressure Finally Broke
An eight-week outflow streak is notable because it represents sustained, directional selling pressure from institutional and retail ETF holders alike. Weekly flow data from trackers such as SoSoValue’s bitcoin ETF dashboard and its ether ETF counterpart had shown consistent net redemptions throughout that period.
The streak eclipsed previous negative runs for spot crypto ETFs. Earlier this year, bitcoin ETFs logged a record eighth straight negative week even as isolated daily inflows briefly interrupted the trend.

That prolonged selling coincided with a difficult stretch for crypto fund flows more broadly. In June, spot bitcoin ETFs hit record $4.5 billion in monthly net outflows, their worst month on record.
Why the Combined Inflow Stands Out
The $282 million figure covers both bitcoin and ether ETFs together, meaning the reversal was not limited to a single asset class. Both segments flipped positive in the same week, suggesting a broader shift in fund-level demand rather than isolated repositioning in one product.
ETF flow data is closely watched as a proxy for institutional crypto demand. Unlike spot exchange volume, ETF inflows and outflows represent net new capital entering or leaving regulated fund wrappers, making them a cleaner signal of directional appetite.
A single positive week does not guarantee a sustained trend reversal. Recent flow history on the same products shows that BTC, ETH, and SOL spot ETFs saw net outflows as recently as July 9, underscoring how quickly direction can shift.
Still, breaking an eight-week streak changes the narrative around these products. Consecutive outflow weeks had fueled questions about whether post-launch ETF enthusiasm was fading permanently. The inflow week suggests that at minimum, the selling pressure has paused.
Earlier positive sessions had offered glimpses of demand returning. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw $90.44 million in inflows on one recent day, with ether ETFs adding $18.43 million, though those daily figures had not been enough to flip the weekly totals positive until now.
Whether the $282 million combined inflow marks the beginning of a new accumulation phase or a one-week pause in broader distribution will depend on flow data in the sessions ahead.
