U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew $90.44 million in net inflows on Friday, July 10, 2026, while ether funds added $18.43 million. The daily totals marked the first weekly net inflow for bitcoin ETFs since May, signaling a tentative return of risk appetite to crypto-linked fund products.
Bitcoin ETFs Log First Positive Week Since May
Combined U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $90.44 million in net inflows on July 10, reversing a multi-week streak of outflows. The move capped the bitcoin products’ first weekly net gain since May, a period characterized by elevated volatility and risk reduction across digital asset markets.
BlackRock’s IBIT Leads Daily Activity
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for $86.83 million of Friday’s total bitcoin ETF inflows, dominating daily activity among U.S. spot products. The strong showing from the category’s largest fund helped pull the complex back into positive territory for the week.
Ether Funds Also See Inflows
U.S. spot ether ETFs attracted $18.43 million in net inflows on the day, adding to the improving tone across crypto ETPs. While smaller than bitcoin’s total, the positive print suggests stabilizing sentiment for ether exposure via regulated fund vehicles.
Why It Matters
- Flows into spot crypto ETFs are a closely watched gauge of institutional and retail demand for bitcoin and ether.
- After weeks of net outflows, a return to positive weekly flows for bitcoin ETFs points to improving sentiment.
- Leadership from large funds such as IBIT can influence broader category momentum.
Spot bitcoin ETFs launched in the U.S. in early 2024, offering direct exposure to bitcoin within a regulated wrapper. Ether spot ETFs followed, expanding investor access to the second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization.
