From July 28 to August 1, 2025, the American market for spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant outflow of investments, totaling $643 million. This marks the worst weekly performance for this segment since mid-April, occurring amid rising macroeconomic instability and a decline in Bitcoin’s price.

Investment Outflows from Bitcoin ETFs Accelerated at Week’s End
Despite an initial influx of funds in the first days of the reporting week, investors began to withdraw capital from Bitcoin ETFs en masse by the end of the week. Specifically, in just the last two working days, the funds lost over $927 million. Notably, August 1 saw the second-largest daily outflow in history — $812.3 million.
“The total assets under management (AUM) of American Bitcoin ETFs have decreased to $146.5 billion.”
The decline in interest in Bitcoin ETFs is attributed by experts to the consolidation of the first cryptocurrency’s price and overall uncertainty in the financial markets. The chart below illustrates the dynamics of capital inflow and outflow over the weeks:
Ethereum ETFs Show Steady Inflow of Investments
In contrast to Bitcoin funds, Ethereum ETFs continue to attract capital. For the reporting week, the net inflow into this segment amounted to $154.3 million. Throughout most of the week, investment activity remained high, although August 1 recorded an outflow of $152.3 million. The total assets under management for Ethereum ETFs reached $20.1 billion, with an average market price of the asset around $3518.
Although the inflow to Ethereum-based funds has noticeably decreased compared to $1.85 billion the previous week, analysts note a strong interest from institutional investors specifically in this asset for building treasury reserves.
For comparison, from July 21 to July 25, 2025, both types of ETFs — Bitcoin and Ethereum — showed positive dynamics. During that time, the weekly total inflow into cryptocurrency funds exceeded $1.9 billion.
It is worth noting that in July 2025, the inflow of funds into Ethereum ETFs reached a historical high, approaching $5.5 billion.
