Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a net outflow of $131.4 million on Monday. This interrupted a 12-day streak that brought in $6.6 billion, marking the first daily outflow since July 1.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) followed with $36.7 million, and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) lost $12.8 million, according to Farside.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest ETF with $86.16 billion in assets, recorded no inflows or outflows. Meanwhile, overall net inflows continue to hold strong at $54.62 billion. Combined net assets across all spot Bitcoin ETFs have reached $151.60 billion, making up 6.52% of Bitcoin’s total market value.

ETH ETFs See $296 Million Daily Inflows

Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs continued their net inflow streak for the 12th consecutive day, with $296.5 million in positive flows recorded on Monday.

Spot Ethereum ETFs have recently experienced their highest inflow levels since debuting on July 24, with the nine funds collecting a combined $3.53 billion over the past 12 days. On several days, daily inflows were even higher than those of Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum ETFs now hold a total of $19.6 billion in net assets, which accounts for 4.32% of Ethereum’s overall market capitalization.

Ethereum Steals Spotlight Last Week with Record ETF Inflows, Surpasses Bitcoin

Global inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs hit a record high last week. But it wasn’t Bitcoin that led the way. A new report from CoinShares said, “Ethereum stole the show,” as big investors showed more interest after strong price gains. Ethereum investment products brought in $2.12 billion during the week ending July 19, pushing total yearly inflows to $6.2 billion. This figure is nearly twice the previous weekly record of $1.2 billion. Meanwhile, global data shows Bitcoin and Ethereum inflows were closely matched, as investors searched for stronger returns. Bitcoin attracted approximately $2.2 billion during the same week.

Although Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $123,000 last Monday, its price has remained mostly steady, while altcoins have begun to rally. Ethereum, in particular, has gained 25% over the past week and is still about $1,000 short of its all-time high of $4,891, which was recorded in November 2021.

Analysts say the flows show shifting investor focus. Bitcoin’s momentum is slowing, while Ethereum gains strength from key legislation and staking benefits. These features make ETH ETFs more appealing to big investors.
