Bitcoin ETFs pull in $233M as BlackRock leads

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $233.1 million in net inflows on July 30, recording their strongest daily result in more than three weeks.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led the session with $183.4 million, according to Farside Investors’ daily flow table.

The inflow returned the funds to positive territory for both the week and July. However, the session represents renewed buying rather than proof of a lasting reversal. The SoSoValue Bitcoin ETF dashboard reported total net assets of about $78.76 billion after the July 30 session.

Bitcoin ETFs returned to positive weekly flows

BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for 78.7% of the daily total. Bitwise’s BITB followed with $20.7 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC added $15.5 million. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT received $7.4 million, VanEck’s HODL added $2.3 million and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust recorded another $2.3 million.

ARK 21Shares’ ARKB added $1.5 million, while the remaining products recorded no flows. No fund reported a net outflow during the session, making the rebound broader than an IBIT-only increase, although BlackRock still supplied most of the demand.

The funds entered July 31 with about $203.9 million in weekly net inflows, based on Farside’s figures for Monday through Thursday. A Friday outflow larger than that amount would return the week to negative territory. Otherwise, the products would complete a fourth consecutive positive week.

However, Bitcoin ETFs began July by ending a ten-day withdrawal run with $221.7 million in inflows. Demand then strengthened and weakened several times, showing that institutional flows remained uneven rather than moving in one direction.

BlackRock’s IBIT controlled most of the rebound

IBIT’s $183.4 million inflow was its largest since July 6, when the fund attracted $209.4 million. That earlier session helped the broader ETF group collect $265.7 million, which remains July’s strongest daily result through July 30.

BlackRock’s official IBIT fund page listed $47.67 billion in net assets and almost 1.3 billion shares outstanding on July 30. The fund’s net asset value rose 1.26% that day to $36.68, while its Bitcoin benchmark stood at $64,764.70.

IBIT therefore represented more than 60% of the approximately $78.76 billion held across the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF group. Its size means changes in BlackRock’s creations and redemptions can heavily influence the combined daily total.

As crypto.news reported earlier in July, IBIT’s return to inflows followed a prolonged period of weak activity and repeated withdrawals. The latest session extends that recovery, but BlackRock also recorded outflows on July 27 and July 28 before returning to positive flows.

July may end two months of Bitcoin ETF outflows

Farside’s daily figures show approximately $438.2 million in net Bitcoin ETF inflows from July 1 through July 30. SoSoValue’s total was slightly lower at about $437.8 million, reflecting small differences in data timing and calculation methods.

A positive July would end two consecutive months of withdrawals. Farside data indicate that the products lost about $2.41 billion in May and $4.51 billion in June. The July recovery has therefore regained only a small part of the capital removed during those months.

crypto.news examined the record 13-day outflow streak that removed approximately $4.37 billion between May 15 and June 3. Total ETF assets fell sharply during that period as redemptions combined with Bitcoin’s declining market price.

The latest daily inflow is constructive, but it remains modest compared with the fund group’s total assets. A longer sequence of positive sessions would provide stronger evidence that investors are rebuilding exposure rather than making short-term allocations.

Bitcoin’s price has not confirmed a wider reversal

Bitcoin traded near $63,144 on July 31, according to CoinGecko market data. Its 24-hour range extended from approximately $62,785 to $65,006, leaving the asset below the benchmark price used for BlackRock’s July 30 fund valuation.

ETF assets and Bitcoin’s price rose strongly through much of 2024 and 2025 before declining from their later peaks. The July 30 inflow interrupted a more inconsistent flow pattern, but one session cannot establish that the longer decline has ended.

ETF creations can support demand because authorized participants facilitate new fund shares and the trusts increase their Bitcoin exposure. However, Bitcoin also responds to derivatives positioning, macroeconomic conditions, exchange activity and sales by existing holders. ETF flows should therefore be treated as one market indicator rather than a standalone price signal.

Ethereum ETFs added a smaller $13M inflow

U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs also returned to positive daily flows. SoSoValue’s Ethereum ETF dashboard reported approximately $13.29 million in net inflows on July 30, led by BlackRock’s ETHA with $16.24 million.

Farside calculated a slightly lower group total of $12.8 million. Its table showed ETHA adding $16.2 million, while Fidelity’s FETH lost $2.9 million and Grayscale’s ETHE recorded $1.6 million in outflows. Smaller inflows into Bitwise’s ETHW and 21Shares’ TETH partially offset those withdrawals.

BlackRock’s official ETHA page listed $5.57 billion in net assets on July 30. Its NAV increased 1.11% to $14.50, while the fund’s Ether benchmark stood at $1,922.06.

The final July result will depend on flows recorded during the July 31 U.S. trading session. Investors will watch whether Bitcoin ETFs preserve their weekly and monthly gains and whether Ether products extend their more frequent July inflows.
