Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Post Third Straight Weekly Inflow Despite Friday Reversal
US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs both notched a third consecutive week of net inflows, even though Friday brought a sharp reversal for both funds after multi-day inflow streaks came to an end.
Key Fact: Ethereum ETFs saw $70.62M in Friday outflows, ending a 5-day, $211.25M inflow streak — but still closed the week up $103.9M.
Bitcoin ETFs Show a Similar Pattern
Bitcoin ETFs ended a seven-day inflow streak on Thursday and posted $240.08 million in net outflows on Friday. Despite that, Bitcoin funds still extended their weekly inflow streak to three straight weeks, adding $103.90 million for the week and $233.96 million so far in July — a sharp turnaround from a record June that saw $4.5 billion flow out of the funds.
Where Prices Stand
At the time of writing, BTC traded just under $64,000, down from the week's high of $66,892 on Tuesday, while ETH traded at $1,837, down from Wednesday's high of $1,954. Ethereum ETFs have now attracted $337.74 million in net inflows for July so far.
Key Stat: Bitcoin ETFs reversed from a $4.5B June outflow to $233.96M in July inflows so far.
Japan's Regulatory Shift Could Open a New Market
Separately, following Japan's recent crypto regulatory overhaul — seen as paving the way for future spot Bitcoin ETFs — crypto platform XWIN estimated a mature Japanese spot Bitcoin ETF market could reach roughly $18.4 billion, or about 0.13% of the country's $14.6 trillion in household financial assets. The estimate used the US market as a reference point, where spot Bitcoin ETFs (excluding Grayscale's GBTC) have accumulated roughly 1 million Bitcoin.
Why It Matters
Even with Friday's outflows, three consecutive weeks of net inflows for both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs point to steady underlying institutional demand. The bigger question is whether that demand holds up if broader market volatility — like the tech-stock selloff pressuring crypto sentiment this week — continues into next month.
