Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin ETFs Reverse 3-Day Outflow Streak With $226.7M as Ethereum ETFs Outpace With $2.4B Inflows

Bitcoin ETFs saw a resurgence on July 24, with net inflows of $226.7 million, reversing a three-day outflow streak that totaled over $283 million. This marked a strategic shift as institutional investors began reallocating capital to Ethereum ETFs, which maintained a record $231.23 million inflow on July 13 and extended a 15-day streak of uninterrupted inflows [2]. Over the six days preceding July 24, Ether ETFs attracted cumulative inflows of $2.4 billion, outpacing Bitcoin’s performance during the same period [3]. The $226.7 million inflow to Bitcoin ETFs on July 24 followed a $131 million outflow on July 11, ending a 12-day consecutive inflow streak [1].

Analysts attributed the shift toward Ethereum to growing confidence in its network upgrades and regulatory clarity, which have made it a preferred choice for institutional portfolios [4]. Ethereum’s price rose 2.1% on July 25, reinforcing its narrative as a high-utility token driven by decentralized finance (DeFi) applications [7]. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s technical outlook remained mixed, with key support levels near $114,500 and resistance at higher thresholds creating uncertainty about its near-term direction [8].

The divergence in investor behavior highlighted broader trends in the crypto market. While Bitcoin ETFs experienced a weak price environment—BTC fell below $116,000 on July 17—investors redirected funds to Ethereum as a hedging strategy [5]. This contrasted with earlier months when Bitcoin ETFs dominated inflow rankings. The $226.61 million inflow to Bitcoin on July 24, however, suggested cautious optimism among institutional players, who viewed the pullback as a potential opportunity to re-enter the market at lower prices [6].

The maturing crypto investment landscape now reflects a dual dynamic: Bitcoin retains its role as a foundational asset for institutional interest, while Ethereum’s ecosystem expansion and regulatory progress position it as a compelling alternative. This bifurcation underscores the market’s capacity for diversification, as investors balance capital appreciation with functional utility.
