Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs attract $239 million net inflows

On July 14, spot Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net inflow of $181.08 million, while spot Ethereum ETFs added $58.34 million, for a combined $239 million of new institutional capital. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led Bitcoin inflows with roughly $139 million, and BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) accounted for the entire Ethereum inflow. No outflows were reported for either asset class, and other alt‑coin ETFs such as those linked to XRP, Solana and HYPE saw no trading activity.

Morgan Stanley filed amended paperwork for proposed spot Ethereum and Solana ETFs, citing service providers like Coinbase Custody and including staking provisions, which could broaden the appeal of proof‑of‑stake products. In Japan, policymakers advanced reforms to bring crypto assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, a step that may pave the way for regulated crypto‑ETF offerings.

A Korean report noted that the same day the U.S. Ethereum spot ETF’s total net assets rose above $10 billion, with BlackRock’s ETHA holding the largest cumulative net inflow of $112.4 billion. The report also referenced the previous day’s modest $15.14 million outflow from Fidelity’s FETH, highlighting the volatility of daily fund flows.
