Ethereum News Today: Bitcoin ETFs See $8.123B Outflow as Ethereum ETFs Hit 20-Day Inflow Streak

Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced a record-breaking net outflow of $8.123 billion on July 31, 2025, marking the second-largest single-day outflow in the product's history and the highest in nearly five months [1]. This significant outflow stands in stark contrast to the performance of Ethereum spot ETFs, which saw a net inflow of $17 million on the same day, extending a 20-day streak of consecutive inflows [1]. The shift in institutional capital reflects growing divergence in market sentiment between the two leading cryptocurrencies.

The Bitcoin ETF outflow occurred as the asset traded in a narrow range between $116,000 and $119,000 in recent weeks, with no clear directional movement. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price had fallen below $3,700 in mid-July, but this did not deter institutional interest in Ethereum-based ETF products [1]. Over the past 20 days, Ethereum ETFs have added $5.38 billion in net inflows, pushing total assets under management to $21.5 billion. This suggests a growing preference for Ethereum among institutional investors, even amid a price correction.

BlackRock’s ETHA led the inflow trend, recording $18.18 million in new capital on July 31, with total assets under management now standing at $11.37 billion [1]. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs, which had seen a historic $6.02 billion inflow in July earlier in the month, faced a sharp reversal at month-end [1]. The divergence in flows highlights a potential reallocation of capital within the crypto market, with investors showing greater confidence in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals and use cases despite its recent price decline.

The July 31 outflow for Bitcoin ETFs ranks second only to a previous $8.3 billion outflow in early April 2025. These figures underscore the extreme volatility of ETF flows in the crypto sector, which can be highly sensitive to macroeconomic developments and broader market sentiment [1]. Analysts have noted that the current trend may reflect shifting priorities among institutional investors, who are increasingly factoring in factors beyond short-term price movements when allocating capital.

The growing inflows into Ethereum ETFs have also led to increased institutional ownership, with entities managing over 100 ETH now holding $10.57 billion in the asset [1]. This development points to a broader shift in capital allocation strategies, as investors seek exposure to Ethereum-based products amid price uncertainty.

As the market continues to navigate macroeconomic risks and regulatory changes, the performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs is expected to remain a key indicator of investor sentiment in the crypto space. The July 31 outflow for Bitcoin ETFs, coupled with continued inflows into Ethereum ETFs, signals a dynamic and rapidly evolving institutional landscape in digital assets.
