$812M Exodus from Bitcoin ETFs as Ethereum’s 20-Day Inflow Streak Shatters – What’s Next?
Blood in the crypto-ETF waters as Bitcoin products hemorrhage $812 million in outflows. Meanwhile, Ethereum's golden run hits a wall—its 20-day inflow streak collapsing like a over-leveraged DeFi degenerate.
The big unwind: Institutional players are rotating fast, leaving retail bagholders scrambling. Bitcoin ETFs now resemble an emergency exit during a bear raid, while Ethereum's hype train stalls just as gas fees spike (classic timing).
Behind the numbers: This isn't just volatility—it's a full-scale sentiment shift. Traders are voting with their wallets, and Wall Street's crypto flirtation looks shakier than a stablecoin backing audit.
Silver lining? At least the outflows prove someone's actually monitoring these funds—unlike certain 'algorithmic' stablecoin projects we could name.
Fidelity and ARK Lead Bitcoin ETF Outflows With Over $659M Pulled
Fidelity’s FBTC saw the largest drawdown, with $331.42 million in redemptions, followed closely by ARK Invest’s ARKB, which lost $327.93 million.
Grayscale’s GBTC also recorded significant outflows of $66.79 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT posted a relatively modest $2.58 million loss.
Despite the capital flight, trading activity remained robust. Total volume across all spot Bitcoin ETFs hit $6.13 billion, with IBIT alone accounting for $4.54 billion, suggesting that institutional interest hasn’t fully evaporated.
Meanwhile, spot Ether ETFs broke their 20-day inflow streak, their longest to date, logging $152.26 million in net outflows on the same day.
The total AUM for Ether ETFs now stands at $20.11 billion, or 4.70% of Ethereum’s market capitalization.
Grayscale’s ETHE led the outflows with $47.68 million in redemptions, followed by Bitwise’s ETHW with $40.30 million and Fidelity’s FETH with $6.17 million.
BlackRock’s ETHA remained unchanged, holding firm at $10.71 billion. Overall trading volume across Ether ETFs reached $2.26 billion, with Grayscale’s product contributing nearly $289 million of that total.
The Bitcoin ETFs had $812M worth of outflows yesterday.

Just weeks ago, Ether ETFs were setting records. On July 16, they pulled in $726.74 million in net inflows, the largest daily total since their inception, followed by $602.02 million the next day, reflecting a surge in demand.
Part of that momentum appears to be fueled by rising institutional interest in ethereum as a strategic treasury asset.
Last week, Ether Machine, backed by several high-profile industry investors including Pantera Capital and Kraken, announced purchasing 15,000 ETH as part of its long-term treasury strategy.
Likewise, BitMine Immersion Technologies recently acquired $2 billion worth of ETH over a 16-day span, making it the largest corporate holder of Ethereum.
In total, corporate treasuries now hold 2.73 million ETH, representing 2.26% of the asset’s circulating supply, according to Strategic Ether Reserves.
95% Approval Chance for Spot Solana, XRP ETFS
As reported, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analysts have assigned a 95% chance that the SEC will approve spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin this year, raising their previous odds from 90% amid growing Optimism for institutional crypto products.
They also expect a crypto index ETF tracking multiple assets could gain approval as early as this week, signaling broader access to altcoins for traditional investors.
Beyond ETFs, institutional Bitcoin demand is spreading into corporate treasuries.
As reported, Singapore-headquartered edtech firm Genius Group has doubled its Bitcoin holdings to 200 BTC after acquiring 20 BTC last week, part of a wider strategy to build a 10,000-BTC treasury.
