Bitcoin ETF Flows Whipsaw as $342 Million Exit Gives Way to Fresh Inflows

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds suffered a sharp reversal on 2 July, recording about $342 million in combined net outflows and ending a 15-day run that had attracted roughly $4.7 billion. The pull-back also halted momentum in Ethereum products, which saw a modest $1.8 million outflow led by a $46.9 million redemption from BlackRock’s ether fund.

Investor appetite returned the following day. Data compiled from fund issuers show Bitcoin ETFs drew some $245 million in net subscriptions on 3 July, while Ethereum vehicles added $43 million. Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for $184 million of the Bitcoin total, helping to offset the prior day’s withdrawal and signalling renewed institutional demand after the brief pause.

BlackRock continues to dominate the segment. Its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) now controls about 696,874 Bitcoin—assets valued near $76 billion—making the fund the asset manager’s third-largest revenue generator at an estimated $191 million a year, according to Bloomberg figures. The haul places IBIT within striking distance of overtaking BlackRock’s long-standing equity funds by revenue.

The tug-of-war between new ETF demand and long-time holders cashing out remains intense. Bloomberg data indicate early Bitcoin “whales” have sold more than 500,000 coins—worth roughly $50 billion—over the past 12 months, an amount that closely matches cumulative ETF inflows. How the balance between fresh institutional buying and legacy holder selling evolves is set to shape Bitcoin’s liquidity profile in the second half of 2025.
