U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs post $239M combined inflow after prior-day outflow
Macro & Markets ·
Bitcoin and Ether funds together absorbed $239M on Tuesday, a reversal from Monday's $425M Bitcoin ETF outflow, led by BlackRock's IBIT.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in roughly $181M on the day, a swing from the prior session's $425M in redemptions. BlackRock's IBIT accounted for $139M of that inflow, while Fidelity's FBTC added $21M, according to wublockchain.xyz. Ether products contributed separately, adding $58M in net inflows, all of it flowing through BlackRock's ETHA fund.
Combined, the $181M in Bitcoin ETF demand and the $58M directed into Ether funds produced the $239M total inflow figure now being cited across the sector. The move follows a volatile stretch in July, when Bitcoin ETF flows have flipped direction almost every other trading session, with no run of gains or losses extending beyond three days.
The scale of the swing is notable set against Monday's $425M outflow, one of the larger single-day withdrawals from Bitcoin ETFs in recent weeks. Total net assets in Ether ETFs have now climbed above $10B, while Bitcoin ETF assets have returned to approximately $78B, according to figures reported by chaincatcher.com.
Other accounts of the same day's activity describe the Bitcoin inflow as ending an extended run of weekly outflows, framing it as a possible signal of renewed institutional appetite, while separate tallies put the Ether inflow at $58.3M across all ten funds tracked in that category. The figures across these reports are broadly consistent, even where exact decimal points differ.
BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC continue to dominate flow data within the Bitcoin ETF category, a pattern that has held since spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024. IBIT's assets under management peaked above $54B earlier in 2026 before the fund experienced outflows tied to shifting investor allocations.
What remains unclear is whether Tuesday's rebound reflects a durable change in institutional positioning or another short-lived swing within an already choppy month. Given the frequency of single-day reversals seen through July, market participants are likely to wait for a longer run of consistent inflows before treating the $239M figure as more than a one-day data point.
