U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $79 million in net inflows on July 16, 2026. This reversal ended an eight-week period of continuous outflows. Total capital exits during that streak exceeded $8 billion.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the recovery as the primary recipient of investor interest. This shift from institutional selling to cautious buying suggests a potential change in market sentiment. Traders remain cautious despite the renewed inflows.
Ethereum-based ETFs continued to experience net outflows. This trend highlights a divergence in investor focus between the two major crypto assets.
