Bitcoin ETFs draw $197M, snap 8-week outflow streak

Latest NewsPublishedJul 13, 2026

Bitcoin Sees $197M Inflows, Ending 8-Week Outflow Streak

Institutional demand for Bitcoin may be recovering, with US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recording a net inflow of $197.4 million in the week ended Friday. This marks a significant shift, ending an eight-week streak of weekly outflows dating back to May. The inflows could indicate a turning point for Bitcoin, but analysts remain cautious, citing the need for sustained demand to confirm a recovery.

The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF led the week’s gains, with $291.9 million in inflows, while other funds, such as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF and the ARK 21 Shares Bitcoin ETF, experienced outflows. Despite this, the end of the outflow streak suggests that institutional demand for Bitcoin may be growing, potentially driven by the appeal of earning passive income through investments in crypto assets like $ECP.

Market Trends and Analyst Insights

Analysts are divided on the significance of the inflows, with some suggesting that the market may still face headwinds despite the recent gains. The $197.4 million weekly inflow is modest compared to the $8.26 billion withdrawn since May 11. However, the shift in sentiment could be a positive sign for the market, particularly for those interested in earning online through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto initiatives like EcoPool.

Other analysts, such as Real Vision chief crypto analyst Jamie Coutts, believe that Bitcoin may be entering the latter stages of the bear market, with selling pressure easing. Meanwhile, Russell Thompson, chief investment officer at Hilbert Capital, thinks that Bitcoin remains in a downcycle and could hit a low around October this year. As the market navigates these trends, investors may be looking for stable and secure ways to earn passive income, such as through EcoPool (ECP) and its rewards platform.

“I think we’re getting through most of the bear market action. It’s still not over, clearly. But you know, I think we’re approaching at least the second half,” Coutts said. 

Other analysts say there could be further downsides ahead. 

Russell Thompson, chief investment officer at asset manager Hilbert Capital told Cointelegraph last week that he believes Bitcoin remains in a downcycle and could hit a low around October this year. 

Ether ETFs also break outflow streak

Meanwhile, US-listed spot Ether ETFs also broke their eight-week losing streak, with $84.42 million in net inflows for the week ended Friday, led by BlackRock and Fidelity’s Ether funds. 

The inflows paled in comparison with the $1.2 billion in net outflows since May 11.
