An Overview of Recent Capital Movements in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs

In the first week of July 2026, Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) experienced a substantial outflow of over $526 million within just four days. This trend continues an eight-week streak where investors have been consistently pulling their funds from these financial products. Similarly, Ethereum ETFs did not fare much better as they reported a withdrawal of $13.67 million despite seeing some recovery with inflows on the last two trading days.
The U.S. trading week was shortened due to Independence Day on July 3, which may have influenced these movements.

Detailed Analysis of Bitcoin ETF Outflows

According to data provided by SoSoValue, the flow dynamics in spot Bitcoin ETFs were as follows:
– June 29: Outflow of $231.10 million
– June 30: Outflow of $222.64 million
– July 1: Outflow of $294.62 million
– July 2: Inflow of $221.72 million
Despite ending on a positive note with an inflow on the last trading day, it was insufficient to offset the significant withdrawals witnessed at the start of the period.
Over the past eight weeks, cumulative outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $8.2 billion.

The State of Ethereum ETF Flows

Spot Ethereum ETFs also concluded the week with negative results; however, there was a glimmer of hope as demand began to recover towards week’s end:
– June 29: Outflow of $30.04 million
– June 30: Outflow of $27.60 million
– July 1: Inflow of $14.89 million
– July 2: Inflow of $29.08 million
In total over eight weeks, investors withdrew approximately $1.2 billion from Ethereum-based funds.

Altcoin ETFs Showcase Resilience

In stark contrast to their Bitcoin and Ethereum counterparts, several altcoin spot ETFs ended their week with net capital inflows:
– XRP ETF: +$17.19 million
– SOL ETF: +$5.75 million
– HYPE ETF: +$4.32 million
– LINK ETF: Over +$915,000
Meanwhile, DOGE ETF reported a minor outflow exceeding $870,000.
This divergence highlights investor interest shifting towards altcoins during periods when major cryptocurrencies face significant market pressure.
