Ethereum ETFs faced a significant reversal in their flows due to US-listed spot products recording $70.62 million net outflows on Friday, reversing a five-day run of inflows which aided fund performance in the previous trading week.
This came after several days of positive flows that raised the interest of investors towards Ethereum-themed ETFs despite changing investor allocations in the crypto ETF markets.
Even though this was a reversal in daily flows, weekly data saw Ethereum ETFs end up with $103.9 million net inflows. However, Bitcoin ETFs were experiencing outflows again after a multi-day run of inflows, while some altcoin ETFs witnessed inflows.

Bitcoin ETFs Also Post Fresh Outflows
Ethereum’s reversal came one day after U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a similar shift in investor activity.
Bitcoin ETFs ended a seven-day inflow streak on Thursday before recording an additional $240.08 million in net outflows on Friday.
Despite the consecutive daily declines, Bitcoin ETFs still posted $103.90 million in weekly net inflows, marking a third consecutive week of positive fund flows. The products have accumulated $233.96 million in net inflows during July.
Spot cryptocurrency ETFs remain one of the primary indicators of institutional demand for Bitcoin and Ether through regulated investment products. Although similar funds trade in other jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, U.S.-listed ETFs continue to account for the largest share of assets under management and trading activity.
Bitcoin ETF Snapshot
- Friday outflows totaled $240.08 million.
- Weekly inflows reached $103.90 million.
- July inflows stood at $233.96 million
Altcoin ETFs Record Positive Weekly Flows
While Ethereum ETFs experienced renewed outflows during the latest trading session, several altcoin ETFs finished the week with positive net inflows.
Net flows in XRP ETFs were on top with inflows worth $17.19 million. The SOL ETFs were second due to the net inflows of $5.75 million, followed by the HYPE ETFs with inflows of $4.32 million. In addition, the LINK ETFs concluded the week with inflows worth around $915,000.
This contrast in the fund flows was because of the different allocation in crypto investments, with the inflows in some alternative crypto-assets and daily outflows from the Ethereum products.
Regulatory Shifts in Japan Emphasize the Future ETF Market
Outside the United States, another area gained attention after the recent shifts in its cryptocurrency regulatory regime.
As per the report provided by the cryptocurrency management platform XWIN in an article titled CryptoQuant, the regulatory shift in Japan may provide grounds for a future spot Bitcoin ETF market estimated at about $18.4 billion.
This figure translates to about 0.13% of Japan’s total household financial assets, which is about $14.6 trillion.
The report made mention of the United States, where U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, except GBTC from Grayscale, have been able to accumulate around 1 million Bitcoin. This is a testament to the role that regulated investment vehicles have played in expanding market participation through the traditional broker and custodian model.
