U.S. spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds attracted fresh investor money on Monday, according to CoinDesk, citing SoSoValue data. Spot bitcoin ETFs brought in $265.69 million, their largest daily inflow in more than a month, while ether ETFs recorded $20.66 million in inflows.
The move matters because ETF flows are closely watched as a measure of institutional and brokerage-platform demand for crypto exposure. Monday’s inflows suggested some buying interest had returned after a difficult stretch for spot bitcoin funds, though the broader weekly trend remained weak.
BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for most of the bitcoin ETF inflow, taking in $209.40 million. ARKB added $32.98 million, while Grayscale’s mini BTC fund drew $42.25 million. Grayscale’s GBTC was the exception among the named bitcoin products, posting $44.45 million in outflows.
For ether funds, BlackRock’s ETHA led the day with $23.29 million in inflows. Even with Monday’s gains, ether ETFs finished the shortened holiday week with $13.7 million in net outflows.
The bitcoin ETF category also remained negative on a weekly basis. CoinDesk reported that spot bitcoin ETFs lost a net $526.6 million over the shortened holiday week, marking an eighth consecutive week of negative flows. Total bitcoin ETF assets rose to $77.32 billion from a June 30 low of $70.95 billion, helped by both recovering prices and renewed inflows, while bitcoin traded near $63,200 when the data was reported.
