U.S. spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds returned to weekly net inflows on Friday (July 11) for the first time since early May, collecting a combined $281.8 million over the week. Spot bitcoin ETFs drew $197.4 million, ending a record eight-week outflow streak that had drained roughly $8.26 billion from the products. Spot ether ETFs added $84.4 million, snapping their own eight-week losing run.
The rebound marks a change in direction after nearly two months of steady withdrawals, though the size of inflows shows demand remains cautious—the recovered capital replaced only about 3% of the $9.46 billion lost during the prior eight weeks. Trading volume remained subdued, with Bitcoin ETF volume at $8.41 billion for the week, the lowest full five-session total since October 2024.
