Eight, to be precise. In this streak that began in mid-May and felt it went on for eternity, they saw over $8 billion withdrawn from investors, with the total net inflows going down from over $59.34 billion to $51.08 billion on July 2.<\/p>\n<p>However, investors finally changed their tune at this point and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-etfs-finally-snap-8-week-losing-streak-with-almost-200m-in-inflows\/\">broke this negative trend<\/a> during the first full week of July, inserting nearly $200 million. Another $75.67 million <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-in-a-row-bitcoin-etfs-mark-another-green-week-but-ethereum-wins\/\">followed<\/a> during the subsequent week, and the one that just ended began on a high note. In fact, the actual net inflows stood at approximately $1 billion during the seven consecutive green days \u2013 from July 14 until July 22.<\/p>\n<p>This coincided (or propelled) with bitcoin\u2019s price rally that drove the asset to $67,000 on Wednesday for the first time in over a month. However, the asset was rejected there, driven south to $64,000 on Friday, while the ETF outflows returned. On Thursday and Friday, investors pulled out $225.18 million and $240 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>As such, even though the week ended slightly in the green, it was a relatively modest $33.79 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1443802\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1443802\" style=\"width: 1779px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-25-165203.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1443802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spot Bitcoin ETFs Net Flows.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/best-ethereum-etfs\/\">spot Ethereum ETFs<\/a> turned out to be more attractive to investors, with almost $104 million in net inflows. Only one day was in the red, with investors pulling out $70.62 million on Friday. Before that, they had poured in $38.09 million on Monday, $37.47 million on Tuesday, $72.64 million on Wednesday, and $26.32 million on Thursday.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps due to these rather impressive numbers, the underlying asset surged past $1,900 mid-week and peaked at just over $1,950. However, it couldn\u2019t keep the momentum going and slipped by about $100 on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The total net inflows of the ETH ETFs have recovered over $200 million in the past three weeks, but are still well below the $12.09 billion seen in May.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1443803\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1443803\" style=\"width: 1785px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-25-165738.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1443803 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/d7e3aad5-a05f-4d53-836b-65dd83ede100\/w=9999\" alt=\"Spot Ethereum ETF Flows.
