BLOCKINSIDERLoadingBitcoin ETF inflows slowed as Ethereum outperformed. Explore BlockInsider's weekly roundup of crypto ETF flows and institutional market trends.
Crypto ETF investors ended the week of July 20–24, 2026, on a much weaker note than the previous week. Strong institutional buying at the start of the week briefly pushed Bitcoin above $66,700, but renewed U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions quickly reversed sentiment.
The shift ended a seven-day inflow streak for Bitcoin ETFs and a five-day winning run for Ethereum ETFs.
Despite the late week selloff, the two asset classes still attracted a combined $137.8 million in net inflows, well below the nearly $500 million recorded a week earlier.
BlockInsider breaks down the week's crypto ETF activity, highlighting where institutional capital flowed as market sentiment shifted.
Bitcoin began the week trading around $64,290, with investors balancing improving technical signals against cautious market sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index remained at 29, reflecting continued uncertainty despite steady institutional demand.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $226.8 million in net inflows, led by BlackRock's IBIT with $116.5 million. Ark 21Shares' ARKB also posted an impressive $72.7 million in inflows, making it one of the day's strongest performers.
Ethereum ETFs extended their recovery, adding $38 million in net inflows. BlackRock's ETHA led the category with $34.3 million.
Institutional demand remained strong on Tuesday, helping Bitcoin climb to an intraday high of approximately $66,900, its highest level in weeks.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs added another $203.2 million, marking a sixth consecutive day of inflows. BlackRock's IBIT once again dominated with $163.9 million in fresh capital.
Ethereum ETFs also maintained their momentum, attracting $37.47 million in net inflows. While BlackRock's ETHA brought in $52.79 million, part of those gains was offset by $15.32 million in outflows from Fidelity's FETH.
Bitcoin ETFs extended their winning streak to seven consecutive trading days on July 22, marking the category's longest run of inflows in more than a month. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $69.1 million in fresh capital, led by BlackRock's IBIT with $38.8 million and Fidelity's FBTC with $21.5 million.
Meanwhile, Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust brought in $37.9 million, almost fully offsetting the $38.3 million that exited the legacy GBTC.
Ethereum also gained momentum, climbing to a weekly high of around $1,954 as spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $72.7 million in net inflows. BlackRock's ETHA led the category with $53.5 million, followed by Fidelity's FETH at $19.2 million.
The market mood changed sharply on Wednesday after renewed tensions between the United States and Iran triggered a broader risk-off move across financial markets.
Bitcoin briefly fell below $65,415, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $225.1 million in net outflows, ending a seven-day inflow streak that had attracted nearly $1 billion.
BlackRock's IBIT accounted for most of the selling, recording $202.5 million in outflows. Morgan Stanley's MSBT was the only Bitcoin ETF to finish the day in positive territory, adding $5 million.
Ethereum ETFs proved more resilient, extending their winning streak to five days with $26.32 million in net inflows. Fidelity's FETH led the gains with $14.93 million, followed by BlackRock's ETHA at $8.49 million.
The cautious sentiment carried into Friday, leading to another round of ETF selling.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded a second consecutive day of net outflows, losing $240.1 million. Once again, BlackRock's IBIT saw the largest withdrawals at $212.2 million, while Fidelity's FBTC lost $27.9 million.
Ethereum also lost momentum. After reaching a weekly high of $1,954, Ether fell to around $1,837, and Ethereum ETFs posted $70.7 million in net outflows, ending their five-day inflow streak.
Although both Bitcoin and Ethereum finished the week with positive net inflows, the late-week reversal showed how quickly institutional sentiment can shift when geopolitical risks return to the forefront.
