Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Experience Substantial Inflows
Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded significant inflows on July 7, 2026, as reported by CoinDesk. Spot bitcoin ETFs attracted $265.69 million, marking the largest daily inflow in over a month, while ether ETFs added $20.66 million, led by BlackRock's ETHA.
U.S. spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw notable inflows on July 7, 2026. Bitcoin ETFs drew $265.69 million, the highest daily inflow in more than a month, indicating a shift in market sentiment. This was the second inflow in three days, following a previous inflow on July 2 that reversed a prolonged trend of outflows, according to data from SoSoValue.
Among the funds, BlackRock's IBIT was a leading contributor, absorbing $209.40 million of the total inflow. Other notable funds included ARKB, which added $32.98 million, and Grayscale's mini BTC fund, which contributed $42.25 million. However, Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) saw a depletion of $44.45 million, being the only fund in the negative.
Despite this apparent uptick in inflows, the overall weekly position remains concerning. Spot bitcoin ETFs lost a cumulative net total of $526.6 million over the shortened holiday week, marking the eighth consecutive week of negative net flows. Ether ETFs also faced losses, shedding $13.7 million during the same period.
On a brighter note, total bitcoin ETF assets have rebounded to $77.32 billion, recovering from a low of $70.95 billion recorded on June 30, boosted by a recent price increase in bitcoin, which traded close to $63,200 as the report was released.
