Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs return to weekly inflows after eight-week outflow streak

BlackRock’s IBIT and ETHA helped lift U.S. crypto fund flows, though demand remained uneven and investors are watching inflation, jobs data and Fed expectations.

Fact Check
Multiple independent sources confirm the core claim. The 'Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Snap 8-Week Outflow Run' (news.bitcoin.com) article specifies spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $197.4M and spot Ether ETFs $84.42M during July 6-10, 2026, each ending an eight-week outflow streak, with BlackRock's IBIT leading Bitcoin inflows (+$291.9M). The cryptorank.io article ('Spot Bitcoin ETFs Break 8-Week Outflow Streak with $197 Million Weekly Inflows') independently reports the same figures and eight-week streak. A third outlet (valuflash.com) corroborates the $197M figure and eight-week outflow break. All trace to SoSoValue flow data. The claim's specific details—return to weekly inflows, eight-week outflow streak, and IBIT/ETHA driving BlackRock flows—are consistently supported.
Summary

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $197.4 million and spot Ether ETFs added $84.42 million in the week of July 6 to July 10, ending eight straight weeks of net outflows for both categories. Bitcoin inflows were led by BlackRock’s IBIT with $291.9 million and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust with $95.1 million, while Grayscale’s GBTC lost $108.2 million and Fidelity’s FBTC shed $93.4 million. The weekly reversal came despite uneven day-to-day trading, with Bitcoin funds swinging between strong inflow sessions and midweek outflows before finishing higher on Friday. Sosovalue said the recovery points to improved demand but remains tentative, with weekly Bitcoin inflows equal to about 0.26% of $77.42 billion in assets under management. Ether ETFs showed stronger relative demand, with inflows equal to roughly 0.88% of about $9.59 billion in assets, and the firm said inflation data, employment figures and Federal Reserve expectations will help determine whether the rebound can continue.
