U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs booked roughly $8.05 billion in trading volume across the five sessions ending Friday, the lowest full-week total since October 2024. Net inflows came in at just $33.8 million after nearly $500 million of inflows through Wednesday were largely erased across Thursday and Friday.
Why it matters
Volume is the cleaner read than the flow figure. A drop to the weakest weekly cadence in roughly seven months suggests engagement from short-term traders has cooled, even as the structural bid from long-horizon allocators appears intact. The thin Friday net number disguises a week that started with conviction and ended with profit-taking or rotation.
Market impact
Spot ether ETFs attracted $103.9 million across the same week, more than three times the bitcoin funds' total and a second consecutive week outperformance. Over the past three weeks, ether products have drawn nearly as much cumulative capital as bitcoin ETFs despite holding about one-eighth as much in net assets. The flow ratio keeps tightening, and a sustained flip would force a re-rating of how investors weight the two complexes.
