Bitcoin ETFs Roar Back With $197M Inflows as Institutional Buying Resumes

By James Godstime —

Bitcoin ETFs ended eight weeks of outflows with $197M in inflows, while Ethereum ETFs also returned to positive flows.

Fresh money returned to US spot Bitcoin ETFs after nearly two months of steady withdrawals. Investors added $197 million during the week of July 6-10, ending an eight-week stretch of net outflows. Activity also improved across other crypto ETFs, with Ethereum products recording positive weekly flows again. Although demand remained uneven, renewed buying suggests institutional interest is slowly returning.

Bitcoin ETFs Post First Weekly Inflows Since Early May

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $197 million in net inflows between July 6 and July 10. Weekly gains ended a prolonged run of redemptions that began in mid-May as Bitcoin struggled under weaker market sentiment and broader economic pressure.

Recent inflows mark the first positive week for Bitcoin ETFs since early May. Market participants had watched funds post consistent withdrawals for eight straight weeks, raising concerns about fading institutional demand. Current figures suggest investors are gradually returning as Bitcoin trades below previous highs.

Many analysts believe lower prices encouraged fresh buying from investors looking for long-term exposure through regulated investment products. Interest has also grown ahead of potential market catalysts that could influence digital asset prices during the second half of the year.

Ethereum Rebounds While Altcoin ETF Flows Remain Mixed

Ethereum ETFs also posted a recovery during the same period. Funds tracking Ether recorded $84.42 million in net inflows, ending their own eight-week streak of outflows. Positive flows into both leading cryptocurrencies point to improving sentiment across major digital assets. Smaller crypto ETFs produced mixed results. Solana ETFs received $930,400 in net inflows, while HYPE ETFs attracted $10.36 million. XRP ETFs moved in the opposite direction, recording $7.18 million in net outflows during the week.

Recent institutional activity across digital assets may also be supporting renewed ETF demand. Growth in tokenized real-world assets has attracted the attention of large investors, with on-chain tokenized assets recently surpassing $20 billion. Rising participation in blockchain-based financial products may be encouraging investors to increase exposure through exchange-traded funds once again.

Differences among individual crypto ETFs remain clear. Ethereum continues to benefit from strong decentralized finance activity and an active developer community. Solana has also maintained steady network development, which has supported modest investor interest. Meanwhile, XRP continues to face regulatory uncertainty, which may explain continued investor caution.
