Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs Surge — $282M Inflows Reverse 2-Month Outflows
By John Nada·Jul 13, 2026·2 min read
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reversed a two-month outflow trend with $282 million in inflows, highlighting renewed institutional interest.
Bitcoin ETFs opened the week with a significant $265.7 million inflow on Monday, marking a major shift after two months of consistent outflows. By Friday, the ETFs had taken a net $197 million, a stark contrast to the previous week's $527 million outflow, Decrypt reported. Ethereum ETFs mirrored this trend with $84 million in inflows, highlighting a renewed institutional interest.
But the journey wasn't smooth. Wednesday and Thursday saw setbacks, with Bitcoin ETFs losing $84.9 million and $95.3 million, respectively, attributed to escalating tensions in Iran. Nevertheless, inflows resumed by Friday, adding another $90.4 million, signaling a potential turnaround in sentiment.
The resurgence was led by BlackRock’s IBIT, which not only spearheaded Monday's inflow with $209.4 million but also contributed $86.8 million on Friday. This marks a pivotal change as IBIT was previously the largest source of June's record outflows.
Bitcoin Holds $62K as Panic Selling Wanes Amid ETF Inflows
Bitcoin remains above $62K as panic selling subsides and ETF inflows resume.
Decrypt noted that Bitcoin’s price rebounded to $64,000 on the back of these inflows, though it later retracted to just under $63,000 amid an overnight selloff. It’s a crucial period as the July 28-29 FOMC meeting looms, with Tuesday’s CPI data being a key indicator for potential inflation cooling. If inflation does cool, it could pave the way for Bitcoin to challenge its June peak near $67,250, offering a clearer path for future gains.
Beyond crypto, broader market moves reflected the global macro landscape. Oil prices increased by 3.5%, and stock futures struggled with the Nasdaq down 0.9%, as geopolitical tensions in Iran weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the crypto market wasn't immune, with major currencies like Ethereum and Solana seeing declines of 1-3%, articulating the interconnectedness of global events and digital assets.
As investors reassess their strategies, this latest ETF activity illustrates a renewed institutional confidence in the crypto sector, suggesting that despite volatility, the appetite for digital assets remains robust.
