Bitcoin has been losing value since hitting a peak of $114,278 on July 14. Over the weekend, BTC dropped by 8.5%, falling to $112,300 before recovering to around $115,000 late Monday. However, this rebound wasn’t enough to prevent ETF outflows. 

The $292 million outflow from IBIT represents just 9% of the $5.2 billion in net inflows recorded in July. While relatively small in the broader context, the outflow is still notable. 

Decreasing Interest in Spot Bitcoin ETFs: What Are Institutional Investors Doing? 

U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows for a third consecutive trading day. Fidelity’s FBTC lost around $40 million, and Grayscale’s GBTC recorded a $10 million outflow. Other U.S.-based ETFs saw no significant inflows, except Bitwise’s BITB fund, which attracted $18.7 million. 

These developments came as Bitcoin bounced off the $112,000 support level. Notably, Monday’s total ETF outflow was smaller than Friday’s $812 million, indicating a potential slowdown in redemptions. 

Still, digital asset investments remain significant in institutional portfolios. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that while growth in private investment vehicles is slowing, hedge funds and digital assets are gaining market share. JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou echoed this sentiment, pointing to substantial capital inflows into digital assets. 

As of July 22, investment in digital assets reached $60 billion, down from $85 billion last year. This underscores the growing prominence of digital assets among alternative investment options. 

Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs listed in the U.S. recorded a combined $787 million in net outflows as of August 4, 2025. Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $322 million, while Ethereum ETFs saw a $465 million capital exodus. 

BlackRock’s ETHA fund alone saw a massive $374.97 million outflow. On the same day, Fidelity’s FETH fund lost $55.11 million, and Grayscale’s ETHE recorded a $6.98 million outflow. Bitwise’s ETHW was the only Ethereum ETF to register inflows, pulling in $415.98 million. 

Despite this, Ethereum ETFs’ total net asset value has reached $20.47 billion, equivalent to 4.70% of Ethereum’s market cap. 

Volatility Drops, Bitcoin Attracts New Investors 

According to Balchunas, Bitcoin has not experienced major volatility since the launch of spot ETFs. The 90-day volatility, which hovered above 60 in January 2024, has fallen below 40 for the first time in IBIT. This decline makes Bitcoin appear more stable. 

As a result, BTC has become a more attractive asset for institutional investors. Lower volatility has facilitated its adoption both as an investment vehicle and an alternative currency.

The data, provided by Farside Investors, shows this is the first time ETFs have hit such levels since their launch in January 2024. Furthermore, the two-day inflows now represent two of the largest weekly inflows of all time. 

The total weekly inflow surpassed $2.72 billion. Bitcoin’s price surged to $112,000 on Wednesday and further climbed to $118,780 by Friday. This clearly indicates a significant increase in investor interest. 

ETF Demand Exceeds Supply by a Wide Margin 

Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Invest, stated that the Bitcoin network only produced 450 BTC on Thursday, while spot ETFs purchased 10,000 BTC on the same day. This difference clearly shows that demand has far outpaced supply. 

Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, emphasized that Wednesday’s ETF demand was 22 times the daily mining supply. He added that this ratio is unsustainable at current price levels. Nonetheless, ETFs have already accumulated substantial Bitcoin reserves due to the strong demand. 

Analyst Eric Balchunas noted, “The total assets of all spot Bitcoin ETFs surpassed $140 billion for the first time.” However, he added that most of the increase came from price appreciation. Moreover, with this surge in demand, market capitalization also increased significantly. The total assets of spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $140 billion, largely driven by Bitcoin’s price rise. 

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Hits Record High 

BlackRock’s IBIT ETF surpassed the $80 billion AUM mark on Thursday. This achievement made IBIT the fastest ETF to reach that level. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted that IBIT accomplished this in just 374 days. 

Additionally, BlackRock’s annual revenue from the IBIT fund has now surpassed that of its flagship iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. This reflects how crypto ETFs are beginning to outpace traditional financial products. 

On July 9th, ETF demand for #Bitcoin was 22x greater than the daily mined supply.
