Blackrock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the retreat with $122.7 million in redemptions, followed by Fidelity\u2019s FBTC at $54.8 million (with the two funds accounting for roughly two-thirds of the day\u2019s total outflow).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The reversal stands out because it followed a strong inflow day. On July 30, the same funds had attracted $233.1 million in net inflows, with IBIT alone pulling in $183.4 million, or about 79% of that total. Bitwise\u2019s BITB added $20.7 million, Fidelity\u2019s FBTC brought in $15.5 million, and Morgan Stanley, Vaneck, Grayscale, and Ark 21shares products rounded out gains, with <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/blackrock-drives-79-of-bitcoin-etfs-233m-inflow\/\">all seven tracked funds posting inflows<\/a> that day, according to Bitcoin.com News.<\/p>\n<p>IBIT\u2019s net assets fell from $47.67 billion on July 30 to $46.52 billion on July 31, even though the fund still holds an estimated 739,066 BTC. The swings once again show just how sensitive these products remain, even for the largest funds in the category.<\/p>\n<h2>Ether Funds Buck the Trend<\/h2>\n<p>While bitcoin ETFs bled money, spot ether ETFs moved the opposite direction, with total net inflows climbing to roughly $9.03 million yesterday. In this, Blackrock\u2019s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/blackrock-pulls-11-75-million-into-etha-as-ether-funds-outpace-bitcoin-again\/\">again led contributions<\/a>, extending a pattern of ether products outperforming their bitcoin counterparts on several recent trading days.<\/p>\n<p>The divergence wasn\u2019t limited to ether as Bitcoin.com News recently reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/blackrock-drives-79-of-bitcoin-etfs-233m-inflow\/\">XRP-linked ETFs too crossed $1 billion<\/a> in combined assets, part of a broader rotation of institutional interest into altcoin-linked products even as bitcoin funds wobbled. ETHA has led ether inflows on multiple recent trading days, a pattern several market watchers have tied to renewed institutional appetite for ether\u2019s role in tokenization and stablecoin settlement rather than bitcoin\u2019s more familiar store-of-value pitch.<\/p>\n<h2>A Third Straight Quarter of Outflows<\/h2>\n<p>The July 31 pullback fits a longer pattern because the second quarter of 2026 marked the third consecutive quarter of net outflows for US spot bitcoin ETFs, even as total assets under management across the category held around $105 billion. The category\u2019s worst single day on record came in May 2026, when IBIT alone recorded <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptobriefing.com\/blackrock-ibit-bitcoin-etf-outflows-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approximately $528 million in outflows<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Broader uncertainty around Washington\u2019s crypto agenda, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/clarity-act-draft-gives-trump-5-ways-to-keep-profiting-from-crypto-democrats-say\/\">stalled CLARITY Act ethics negotiations,<\/a> has added to the caution among some institutional allocators. Bitcoin\u2019s own price action has compounded the swings, and the asset has traded well off its prior highs for much of the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>With IBIT still controlling the largest share of category assets, its daily flows will likely keep setting the tone for the broader bitcoin ETF complex heading into August.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-etf-outflows-265-million-ether-inflows\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw $265.4 million in net outflows on July 31, led by Blackrock\u2019s IBIT.
