Institutions are back! ETFs end an 8-week exodus Last week, U.S. spot BTC + ETH ETFs saw a net inflow of $282 million, finally putting an end to the previous 8-week outflow streak totaling nearly $9.5 billion. Quick look at fund flows BTC ETF: +$197.7M BlackRock's IBIT dominates, taking 96% of the inflows! ETH ETF: +$84.41M BlackRock's ETHA + Fidelity's FETH capture 88% of the share. Key signal On July 9, both were still seeing net outflows, but the very next day, they rebounded aggressively. This kind of "sell fast, buy fast" behavior shows that institutions never really left—they're just using the opportunity to shake out weak hands and buy the dip. Bitfinex's report also confirms: BTC is nearing a local bottom. ⚠ Don’t get carried away ETFs are still down $5.4 billion in net outflows year-to-date. A true reversal needs more data to back it up. Keep an eye on U.S. CPI data on July 14 If inflation cools → rate cut expectations rise → ETFs keep buying → BTC takes off; If inflation remains stubborn → institutional sentiment could still shift. ✨ Bottom line One day of inflows doesn’t make a bull market—three consecutive weeks of buying does. ETF flows remain the lifeline for BTC right now. #Bitcoin #BTC #ETF
