Bitcoin and Ether ETFs End Heavy Outflow Streaks as Market Pressure Eases Slightly

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a modest net inflow of $3.05 million on Thursday, ending a 13-session streak of continuous outflows that had drained about $4.4 billion from the sector since mid May.

Despite the inflow, the broader picture still shows weakening demand. Total Bitcoin ETF assets have fallen to roughly $80.40 billion from $104.29 billion at the start of the outflow streak, reflecting sustained selling pressure across major funds.

BlackRock’s IBIT saw $47.66 million in inflows, while other major issuers including Fidelity’s FBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, and Ark’s ARKB continued to record outflows. Overall Bitcoin ETF holdings now stand at around 1.277 million BTC, down about 7.2% from the October 2025 peak of 1.376 million BTC.

Ether ETFs Also Snap Long Outflow Streak

Spot Ether ETFs ended a 17-day outflow run with $19.30 million in net inflows. The entire inflow came from BlackRock’s ETHA, while all other Ether funds reported flat flows for the day.

Total Ether ETF assets currently stand at $9.78 billion, representing about 4.57% of Ether’s total market value. Although inflows have stabilized, assets remain below earlier peaks recorded this year.

Market Participation Still Concentrated in a Few Funds

The data shows that ETF flows remain highly concentrated. A small number of large issuers are driving most inflows while several others continue to see redemptions, indicating uneven investor confidence across products.

Broader Market Pressure Still Weighs on Crypto

The small inflows came as Bitcoin traded around $63,000 and Ether hovered near $1,700, both still under pressure from wider risk-off sentiment across global markets. The recent weakness in technology and AI-linked stocks has also contributed to cautious investor behavior in digital assets.

While ETFs have technically ended their outflow streaks, analysts note that the scale of recent redemptions suggests the market has not yet seen a clear shift back to sustained accumulation.
