• Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.7 billion in weekly inflows, pushing BTC to an all-time high near $119,000.
• Ethereum ETFs added $908 million, helping ETH climb 17% to a multi-month peak above $3,000.
• BlackRock’s IBIT and ETHA dominated fund inflows, reflecting strong institutional demand for crypto exposure.

Investor appetite for cryptocurrency exposure through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reached a new high last week, with Bitcoin ETFs alone drawing in more than $2.7 billion in net inflows over five trading days.

The surge in capital marked one of the strongest weekly performances for these financial vehicles, reflecting growing institutional demand on Wall Street.

According to data from FarSide Investors, the standout activity occurred on Thursday and Friday.

Thursday saw the second-largest daily inflow in the 18-month history of US-listed Bitcoin ETFs, totaling $1.18 billion.

The inflows were spread across major funds: BlackRock’s IBIT received $448.5 million, Fidelity’s FBTC took in $324.3 million, and ARK Invest’s ARKB attracted $268.7 million.

On Friday, the momentum continued with another $1.03 billion in inflows.

BlackRock’s IBIT led decisively, drawing $953.5 million—far ahead of ARKB, which was second with just $23.5 million.

Earlier in the week, inflows remained positive each day: $216.5 million on Monday, $80.1 million on Tuesday, and $215.7 million on Wednesday.

The total net inflow for the week amounted to $2.72 billion, further highlighting the accelerating pace of institutional crypto adoption.

Notably, the funds have seen only one day of net outflows (July 1) since June 9.

Ethereum ETFs see record weekly gains

Ethereum-based ETFs also recorded significant inflows last week, benefiting from increasing investor confidence ahead of their one-year anniversary.

The funds brought in $908.1 million in net inflows for the week, according to FarSide data.

Thursday was a standout day, setting a record for Ethereum ETFs with $383.1 million in inflows.

BlackRock’s ETHA led the way, accounting for over $300 million of that figure.

On Friday, ETHA continued to dominate, capturing $137.1 million of the total $204.9 million inflow.

Wednesday added $211.3 million, while Monday and Tuesday contributed $62.1 million and $46.7 million, respectively.

This sustained inflow into Ethereum funds helped propel ETH’s price higher.

Starting the week around $2,500, Ethereum climbed past $3,000 on Friday. Although it has since pulled back slightly below $3,000, the asset remains up more than 17% for the week.

Crypto prices react to institutional momentum

The robust ETF inflows had a direct impact on the underlying asset prices.

Bitcoin surged by more than $10,000 during the week, reaching an all-time high of nearly $119,000 on Friday.

Ethereum similarly saw its best performance in months, fueled by increased capital inflows and renewed optimism among investors.

In total, both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs drew more than $3.6 billion in capital last week, underscoring the expanding role of crypto assets in mainstream investment portfolios.

With consistent inflows and new highs in asset prices, institutional interest in cryptocurrencies appears far from waning.
