2 in a Row: Bitcoin ETFs Mark Another Green Week, but Ethereum Wins
After a violent eight-week streak with nothing but substantial withdrawals, the spot Bitcoin ETFs changed their course in the middle of July and now extended their recovery period with another green performance.
However, the funds tracking the largest altcoin managed to beat the market leader in terms of weekly net inflows.
Perhaps due to the rising tension in the Middle East over the previous weekend, Monday began with a massive $424.66 million net outflow from the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/best-bitcoin-etf/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">spot BTC ETFs</a>. This was the single-largest withdrawal since June 26. Thus, the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-etfs-finally-snap-8-week-losing-streak-with-almost-200m-in-inflows/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">good news from the previous week</a> started to look like a fluke that cannot be repeated.
However, investors’ behavior changed in the following four days, and fresh capital started to flow in. Data from SoSoValue shows that $181 million entered the funds on Tuesday, another $107.8 million on Wednesday, $79.15 million on Thursday, and $132.30 million on Friday. As such, the weekend ended in the green, with net inflows of $75.67 million.
Nevertheless, these numbers are nowhere near the mass exodus experienced from the middle of May and the beginning of July. In five out of these eight weeks, investors pulled out $1 billion or more, with the week that ended on June 26 <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-etfs-set-another-anti-record-as-1-8b-leave-the-funds-weekly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">registering</a> the second-highest net outflows of $1.79 billion. Overall, the funds lost more than $8 billion in approximately two months.
The cumulative total net inflows dumped from $59.34 billion to $51.08 billion before they recovered some ground to $51.35 billion as of July 17.
While the financial vehicles tracking BTC attracted just over $75 million last week, those following the largest altcoin did even better. The <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/best-ethereum-etfs/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">spot Ethereum ETFs</a> gained $105.44 million, building on the previous week’s $84.42 million.
Monday was also in the red, but in a more modest manner. Investors took out $15.41 million. Thursday saw $28.04 million in net outflows, but the $58.34 million on Tuesday, $53.83 million on Wednesday, and $36.73 million on Friday offset all the losses.
Similar to the BTC ETFs, the Ethereum counterparts were on an eight-week red streak, in which they lost well over $1.1 billion in cumulative total net inflows, going from $12.09 billion to $10.89 billion. However, the figure has risen to $11.08 billion after the two consecutive weeks in the green in mid-July.
