Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivered a staggering $1.85 billion in inflows during the week, extending their dominance streak to 11 consecutive weeks. Bitcoin ETFs, on the other hand, saw a modest $73 million in net inflows, weighed down by early-week red days.

Institutional Flow Shift? Ether ETFs Soar While Bitcoin ETFs Post Modest Gains
Ether ETFs are rewriting the playbook. For the week ending July 25, ether ETFs brought in another record $1.85 billion, marking their 11th consecutive week of inflows and their second-highest weekly inflow since launch. In sharp contrast, bitcoin ETFs managed just $73 million in net inflows, as outflows earlier in the week kept gains subdued.
Ether ETFs: $1.85 Billion Surge and Record-Breaking Streak
Ether ETFs were in overdrive, posting inflows every single day of the week, capping a historic streak of 16 consecutive inflow days. The heaviest single-day inflow was Tuesday, July 22, when the category absorbed $533.87 million. 6 ether ETFs posted green weekly entries:
Blackrock’s ETHA: +$1.29 billion
Fidelity’s FETH: +$382.89 million
Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust: +$171.75 million
Bitwise’s ETHW: +$34.63 million
Vaneck’s ETHV: +$3.95 million
Franklin’s EZET: +$2.84 million
However, Grayscale’s ETHE (-$42.03 million) and 21Shares’ CETH (-$374.05k) were the only minor blips for ether in another super-dominant week.
Bitcoin ETFs: Modest Recovery After Midweek Wobbles
Bitcoin ETFs saw 3 consecutive outflow days at the start of the week, but two strong sessions helped the category finish in green. The biggest inflow came on Thursday, July 24, with $226.61 million flowing in. Still, overall enthusiasm appears tempered compared to previous billion-dollar weeks. This was reflected in the mixed weekly flows:
Blackrock’s IBIT: +$267.88 million
Vaneck’s HODL: +$62.04 million
Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust: +$27.18 million
Bitwise’s BITB: +$4.67 million
Franklin’s EZBC: +$3.45 million
Despite the net weekly gain, the outflows were quite significant, with Fidelity’s FBTC registering a -$123.23 million exit, Ark 21shares’ ARKB seeing a -$90.20 million fund departure, and Grayscale’s GBTC logging a -$79.74 million exit too.
The weekly roundup of the trading action shows that bitcoin ETFs still dominate total AuM (Assets under Management) but may be ceding momentum to ether ETFs as more institutions diversify.
ETH ETFs now account for 4.3% of ether’s market cap, underscoring accelerating institutional interest. The combined inflows for the week of $1.92 billion signal a robust risk appetite despite market volatility.
