US Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Inflows in July, Still Negative Year-to-Date

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finished July in the green despite a late-month wave of selling and BTC price volatility.

Bitcoin ETFs attracted a modest $172.4 million in net inflows in July, reversing two consecutive months of outflows, according to SoSoValue data.

The monthly inflows came despite a volatile end to July, as the funds logged a $265.4 million net outflow on Friday, marking their largest daily withdrawal since July 13.

July’s return to positive territory improved Bitcoin ETF flows after nearly $7 billion in combined outflows over the previous two months, including the largest monthly outflow of 2024 in June at $4.5 billion. However, the weak finish showed investors remained cautious heading into August.
