ETF flows for the week ending July 25 indicate sustained investor interest, with inflows observed in 8 out of 11 sectors. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) saw an inflow of $1.45 billion, gaining 1.32% [1]. This significant inflow aligns with the broader market trend, as the S&P 500 index reached new highs.

Bitcoin ETFs continued their streak, with inflows for the seventh consecutive week. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $157.02 million in net inflows on July 28, driven by strong investor confidence in Bitcoin as a mainstream asset [3]. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the way with $147.37 million in inflows, followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) at $30.88 million. These inflows reflect a renewed enthusiasm for Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial products.

The week also saw sustained inflows into Ethereum ETFs, with 17 consecutive days of net inflows. BlackRock’s ETHA fund brought in $131.95 million on July 28 alone, increasing its AUM to $11.22 billion [2]. This trend underscores a shift in institutional sentiment towards Ethereum, driven by its growing adoption metrics and potential staking utility.

Among other notable inflows, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS) added $1.2 billion, while the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) gained $1.1 billion. The Invesco QQQ Trust Series I (QQQ), tracking the Nasdaq-100 index, collected $904 million, and the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPLG) saw $496.2 million in inflows [1].

Outflows were primarily seen in the inverse ETF space, with the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) experiencing $1.1 billion in outflows and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA) giving up $558.7 million [1].

Overall, ETF flows reached $12.8 billion for the day, with U.S. and international equity funds seeing the greatest inflows and inverse ETFs experiencing outflows. This week's data suggests a continued trend of investor preference for equity markets and a growing interest in cryptocurrencies as a part of diversified portfolios.
