Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs Attract Over $11 Billion Inflows July

In 2025, institutional investment in cryptocurrency ETFs has surged, with Ethereum ETFs notably outpacing Bitcoin ETFs in recent inflows, signaling a shift toward utility-focused assets. Ethereum spot ETFs attracted $1.85 billion in net inflows in one week, totaling nearly $5 billion over three weeks, driven by interest in its smart contract and DeFi functionalities. While Bitcoin ETFs maintain higher total assets under management, their inflows have slowed, though significant investments continue, including $500 million held by Europe's Capula Management and notable buys by hedge funds Citadel LLC and Point72. U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recently recorded consecutive days of positive inflows, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with $91.5 million, reflecting growing confidence among investors. The Trump administration's push to mainstream cryptocurrency assets has further boosted ETF investments, with $19.4 billion poured into spot Bitcoin ETFs this year alone. This evolving investor landscape may prompt a broader portfolio shift favoring programmable blockchain assets like Ethereum while maintaining interest in Bitcoin as digital gold.
