Crypto ETFs had a rough day on July 9. US spot Ethereum ETFs gave back $52.08M in net outflows, ending a five-day stretch of inflows that had been adding money to the funds.
The single-day drop was small next to the group’s $10.96B cumulative total, but it broke the first clean winning streak Ethereum products had put together in weeks.
Crypto ETFs: Ethereum Funds Break a Five-day Inflow Streak
Before July 9, Ethereum ETFs had booked five straight days of inflows. The run started on July 1 with $14.89M, then continued on July 2 ($29.08M), July 6 ($20.66M), July 7 ($26.93M), and July 8 ($70.48M). July 8 was the strongest of the group and pushed cumulative inflows above $11B for a day.
July 9 reversed part of that. The $52.08M outflow pulled cumulative net inflows back to $10.96B. Total net assets held at $9.34B, and total value traded came in at $234.92M, well below the $483.21M seen the day before.
For the week ending July 9, Ethereum ETFs took in $65.99M, their best weekly figure after a rough June that included a $273.34M weekly outflow for the week of June 26.
Where the Ethereum ETF Outflows Came From
Most funds sat flat on July 9. The sales came from just four products. Fidelity’s FETH did the heavy lifting, losing $33.96M, or roughly 19,420 ETH.
BlackRock’s ETHA followed with $12.67M out, near 7,240 ETH. BlackRock’s second product, ETHB, dropped $2.70M, and Bitwise’s ETHW lost $2.75M.
Every other fund held at zero for the day, including Grayscale’s ETH and ETHE, VanEck’s ETHV, Franklin’s EZET, Invesco’s QETH, and 21Shares’ TETH.
Premiums stayed tight across the board. Most funds traded within a fraction of a percent of net asset value, with FETH at a 0.10% discount and ETHB at 0.18%, the widest of the group.
The concentration is worth noting. Two funds, FETH and ETHA, accounted for almost the entire $52.08M in outflows.
Crypto ETFs: Bitcoin Funds Also Slip Into the Red
Ethereum was not alone. Bitcoin ETFs posted a $95.30M net outflow on July 9, their second down day in a row after an $84.86M outflow on July 8. That came right after two green days on July 6 ($265.69M) and July 7 ($21.44M).
The Bitcoin group is much larger, so the outflow barely dented the totals. Cumulative net inflows stand at $51.19B, and total net assets sit at $76.51B.
On a weekly basis, Bitcoin ETFs still finished positive, adding $106.96M for the week ending July 9 after several weeks of heavy redemptions, including a $1.79B weekly outflow for the week of June 26.
Both crypto ETFs categories ended the day lower, but the weekly numbers tell a calmer story than the daily prints suggest.
What the Numbers Mean for the Week Ahead
One down day does not undo a five-day streak. Ethereum ETFs are still up $10.96B on a cumulative basis, and the weekly flow turned green again.
What the July 9 print really shows is how thin the inflows are and how easily they flip. It took just two funds to wipe out a full day of gains.
For anyone tracking crypto ETFs as a read on institutional demand, the takeaway is patience. Daily flows bounce around, and a single $52.08M outflow after a good week sits closer to noise than a warning. The weekly data is the better gauge, and right now it points up for both Bitcoin and Ethereum products.
