Bitcoin ETFs Post $265M Outflow as BlackRock's Staked Ether Fund Props Up Ethereum Gains

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $265.4 million on July 31, reversing a $233.1 million inflow from the previous session, according to Farside data.

Every Bitcoin product listed in Farside's July 31 table was flat or negative for the day. BlackRock's IBIT led the losses with $122.7 million withdrawn, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $54.8 million and Grayscale's GBTC at $52.6 million. BITB and ARKB recorded further outflows of $17.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

Ethereum funds showed a net inflow of $9 million for the same session, but the figure was driven largely by BlackRock's staked Ethereum fund, which alone drew more than $15.4 million, according to the report. Without that single fund, the broader Ethereum ETF group's contribution to the total inflow would have been smaller than the headline number suggests.

Context on ETF Flows

  • Bitcoin ETF outflows: $265.4 million on July 31
  • Prior session inflow: $233.1 million
  • IBIT (BlackRock): -$122.7 million
  • FBTC (Fidelity): -$54.8 million
  • GBTC (Grayscale): -$52.6 million
  • BITB: -$17.8 million
  • ARKB: -$17.5 million
  • Ethereum ETFs net inflow: $9 million, with BlackRock's staked ether fund contributing over $15.4 million

The report also references a prior recovery in Bitcoin ETF flows, describing a $32.1 million turnaround that had ended a four-session losing streak, though that earlier rebound was similarly linked to BlackRock's role in the market.
