Bitcoin spot ETFs booked $222 million in net inflows on July 2, snapping a 10-day streak of net outflows that had been steadily eroding the cohort's AUM. Ethereum spot ETFs also turned positive on the same session, adding $29.08 million, the first joint positive print for both wrappers since the drawdown began.
Why it matters
The 10-day outflow run had been one of the longest unbroken redemption streaks since the ETFs launched in January 2024, with daily prints consistently in the red across both IBIT and the lower-fee competitor cohort. A joint positive session for BTC and ETH products in the same window is rare, and it shifts the read from "persistent distribution" to "distribution exhaustion" rather than a single-day rotation.
Market impact
The flow flip matters more than the size. Two-sided ETF demand had been the marginal buyer absorbing post-halving supply throughout Q1 and Q2; a fresh inflow leg, even a modest one, signals that cohort is back in accumulation mode. Watch tomorrow's session for confirmation, as single-day reversals have a habit of failing before they stick.
