- Five-day run totaled roughly $727 million, largest sustained inflow since June outflows.

Inflow momentum accelerates
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in about $227 million on July 20, marking the first five-day inflow streak since late April. The five-day run has pulled in roughly $727 million, the most sustained stretch of buying since record outflows in June.
The recovery is tangible. Total bitcoin ETF assets have climbed back to about $79 billion from a July low near $75 billion. That rebound reflects both price appreciation and fresh capital entering the market.
Ether ETFs trail but grow
Ether ETFs added about $38 million on July 20, led by BlackRock's ETHA. BlackRock's ETHA drove the ether side with about $34 million, underscoring the dominance of the largest provider in the ethereum ETF space.
Market backdrop
Bitcoin has held its range near $63,000 as last week's chip-driven selloff paused. The return of ETF inflows fills a gap that had persisted through much of the quarter—institutional capital moving back into spot products after months of redemptions.
Macro catalysts loom. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet on July 28 and 29, with rate decisions likely to influence risk appetite. Big Tech earnings reports from Alphabet, Tesla, and Intel are scheduled for the week, adding volatility to equities and, by extension, crypto sentiment.
