Bitcoin ETFs See First Outflow in 12 Days As Ether ETFs Hit $19 Billion in Net Assets
Ether ETFs delivered another commanding performance, locking in their 12th consecutive day of inflows with $296.59 million. The action was led by Fidelity’s FETH and Blackrock’s ETHA, which brought in $126.93 million and $101.98 million, respectively.
Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust followed with a solid $54.90 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW added $13.15 million. A lone outflow of just $374K on 21Shares’ CETH was negligible in the broader green wave.
Trading volume in ether ETFs also hit a new daily record of $3.21 billion, and net assets surged to a fresh high of $19.60 billion, now representing 4.32% of ether’s market cap.
In contrast, after nearly two weeks of steady green days, bitcoin ETFs stumbled, posting a $131.35 million net outflow, snapping a 12-day inflow streak. It was a rare red moment in what has otherwise been a remarkably bullish July.
The outflows were driven primarily by Ark 21shares’ ARKB, which bled $77.46 million, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC at $36.75 million and Fidelity’s FBTC at $12.75 million. Minor outflows also trickled out of Vaneck’s HODL and Bitwise’s BITB, down $2.48 million and $1.19 million, respectively.
Still, trading activity was healthy with $4.10 billion in value exchanged, and net assets remained strong at $151.60 billion, hinting this may just be a brief correction.
As ether ETFs continue to outpace their bitcoin counterparts, the market narrative may be tilting toward the biggest crypto altcoin.
