U.S. spot bitcoin and ether ETFs swung back to net inflows on Tuesday after a $425 million outflow day on July 13. Spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in roughly $181 million while ether ETFs added about $58 million, per SoSoValue data, as BTC and ETH rose close to 4% and 6% respectively on the session.
BlackRock's IBIT drove almost the entirety of the bitcoin side, taking in about $139 million, with Fidelity's FBTC adding roughly $21 million. No bitcoin fund lost money on the day. On the ether side, BlackRock's ETHA accounted for the entire net figure at $58 million, with every other fund flat. Total bitcoin ETF assets climbed back to roughly $78 billion from about $75 billion, and ether ETF assets crossed $10 billion.
Why it matters
July's flow picture has been choppy rather than directional. Bitcoin ETFs have swung between inflows and outflows nearly every other session this month, with the July 13 redemption the largest of the run and Tuesday's rebound the second-largest inflow. Neither side has held for more than three days in a row. That pattern fits a market rebalancing into and out of ETF wrappers around spot price action rather than a structural exit or accumulation phase.
Market impact
The synchronised inflow day matters more than the dollar size: it shows the bid returns immediately when BTC and ETH bounce, and it returns concentrated through BlackRock on both sides. Total combined AUM across the two wrappers now sits around $88 billion, with ETHA crossing the $10 billion threshold alongside it.
