Summary
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reversed an extended period of investor redemptions during the week ending July 10, 2026, attracting $197 million in net inflows across 13 products. This marked the first weekly net inflow in more than eight weeks, halting a significant outflow period that had cumulatively extracted more than $8 billion from Bitcoin ETF vehicles. The inflow reversal coincided with a 3% weekly appreciation in Bitcoin prices, pushing the asset above the $64,000 level with market participants monitoring the $65,000 resistance point.
The weekly inflow pattern demonstrated considerable volatility. According to SoSoValue data, Monday opened strongly with $265 million in inflows, followed by an additional $21.4 million on Tuesday. However, demand reversed midweek, with net outflows of $84.8 million on Wednesday and $95 million on Thursday. The week concluded positively on Friday, with $90.4 million in fresh inflows, ultimately delivering the net positive result for the five-day trading period.
Spot Ethereum ETFs exhibited parallel momentum, similarly breaking an eight-week streak of net redemptions with $84.42 million in weekly net inflows. This concurrent recovery across both Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products suggests investors have moderated their pace of crypto exposure reduction. Swissblock, a digital asset market intelligence firm, characterized the development as a turning point, stating: "The most overwhelming ETF distribution wave of this bear market has ended. As Bitcoin Risk continues easing from Capitulation Risk, Spot ETF flows have turned slightly positive again."
Despite these positive inflows, market analysts emphasized caution regarding sustained demand recovery. The brief reversal follows eight consecutive weeks of significant redemptions, and a single positive week provides limited evidence that the broader institutional demand trend has fundamentally shifted. The recovery warrants monitoring through subsequent reporting periods to determine whether the inflow reversal represents a sustained directional change or a temporary reprieve within an ongoing redemption environment.
