Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a massive $812.25 million in net outflows on Friday, marking the second-largest daily loss in their history. This sharp drop ended a week-long run of consistent inflows. According to SoSoValue, the cumulative net inflow for Bitcoin ETFs fell to $54.18 billion.
During this period, total assets under management (AUM) declined to $146.48 billion. This figure represents roughly 6.46% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization. Fidelity’s FBTC led the outflows with a $331.42 million redemption by investors.
ARK Invest’s ARKB product followed closely with a $327.93 million withdrawal. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $66.79 million in losses, while BlackRock’s IBIT saw a relatively minor $2.58 million outflow.
Despite the decline, trading volumes across spot Bitcoin ETFs remained strong. The total volume reached $6.13 billion, with BlackRock’s IBIT contributing $4.54 billion alone. This indicates continued investor interest despite the volatility.
Ether ETFs End 20-Day Inflow Streak with $152M Outflow
Meanwhile, spot Ether ETFs ended their longest-ever inflow streak on Friday, following 20 consecutive trading days of net inflows. That day, the sector recorded $152.26 million in total outflows. As a result, Ether ETF AUM dropped to $20.11 billion.
This amount equals about 4.70% of Ethereum’s market cap. Grayscale’s ETHE led the withdrawals with a $47.68 million outflow. Bitwise’s ETHW product followed with a $40.30 million reduction, and Fidelity’s FETH recorded a $6.17 million decline.
On the other hand, BlackRock’s ETHA remained flat for the day, reporting no inflows or outflows. Its assets under management held steady at $10.71 billion.
Across all Ether ETFs, total trading volume hit $2.26 billion. Grayscale’s ETHE contributed the most, with $288.96 million in daily volume, reflecting ongoing market volatility.
Institutional Demand Rises: Ethereum Accumulation Accelerates
According to a recent report by Standard Chartered, institutional investors have increased their Ethereum purchases. Since early June, crypto treasury firms have acquired roughly 1% of Ethereum’s circulating supply.
This steady accumulation, combined with consistent inflows into U.S. spot Ether ETFs, has become a key driver of Ethereum’s recent price rally. The bank projects that ETH could surpass $4,000 by year-end.
Meanwhile, analysts highlight staking and DeFi participation as added incentives for corporate holdings. They believe that Ethereum’s share in institutional portfolios could grow significantly—possibly reaching up to 10% of total supply over time.
