Bitcoin News Today: Ethereum ETFs Extend 15-Day Inflow Streak with $231.23M, Outpacing Bitcoin

Spot Ethereum ETFs extended their dominance in the crypto asset management space, securing a 15th consecutive day of net inflows totaling $231.23 million on July 13, 2025, according to Mitrade. This streak reflects sustained institutional confidence in Ether, outpacing Bitcoin’s recent performance amid shifting capital allocations. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs reversed a three-day outflow trend on July 24, recording $226.7 million in net inflows as institutional investors cautiously re-entered the market [1][6].

The disparity between the two ETFs highlights diverging institutional strategies. Ethereum ETFs attracted $2.4 billion in inflows over six days through July 18, tripling Bitcoin’s cumulative inflows during the same period, per CryptoSlate. This surge coincided with BlackRock’s ETHA ETF reaching $10.5 billion in assets under management, signaling a shift in capital from Bitcoin to Ethereum-based products [3][7]. However, Bitcoin ETFs faced a temporary setback when they registered a $131 million outflow on July 11, breaking a 12-day streak of positive flows that had added over $6 billion to the sector [9].

The July 24 Bitcoin ETF inflow of $226.61 million marked a recovery after a $283 million outflow stretch, indicating resilience in institutional demand despite Bitcoin’s price weakness below $116,000 [2][6]. Analysts attributed the Ethereum ETFs’ momentum to growing adoption of Ethereum’s post-merge upgrades and regulatory clarity, while Bitcoin ETFs grappled with profit-taking and market volatility. Cumulative inflows for Ether ETFs reached $231 million on July 13, underscoring their role as a safe haven for investors reallocating from Bitcoin [1][7].

Bitcoin’s ETF inflow rebound came as spot Bitcoin ETFs broke a 12-day inflow streak earlier in July. The $131 million outflow on July 11 followed a period of heavy inflows, suggesting short-term profit-taking by institutional investors amid a $6 billion influx in late June [9]. Despite BTC’s price dip, Bitcoin ETF inflows remained robust through July 22, reflecting undiminished long-term confidence in the asset class [8].

The contrasting performances highlight the evolving dynamics between Bitcoin and Ethereum in the ETF landscape. While Ethereum ETFs capitalized on a six-day $2.4 billion inflow surge, Bitcoin ETFs relied on a $227 million July 24 inflow to counter a three-day outflow trend [2][3]. This divergence underscores the importance of product-specific factors—such as Ethereum’s network upgrades and Bitcoin’s market maturity—in shaping institutional investment flows.

Market participants will closely watch whether the Ethereum ETF momentum sustains its edge over Bitcoin, particularly as BlackRock’s ETHA ETF approaches $11 billion in assets under management. For Bitcoin, the ability to rebuild inflow streaks post-July 11 will test its resilience against shifting capital flows and regulatory developments [3][7].
