Bitcoin ETFs Lose $95 Million as Ether’s 5-Day Inflow Streak Comes to an End

Crypto ETF flows weakened on Thursday, July 9, as bitcoin ETFs posted a $95.30 million outflow and ether ETFs snapped a five-day inflow streak with a $52.08 million exit. Solana saw a small redemption, while HYPE and XRP ETFs recorded no trading activity.

After several sessions of improving flows, bitcoin and ether funds resumed redemptions. Trading volumes were lighter, and the tone was cautious. Fidelity’s FBTC lost $63.25 million, while Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB saw $39.93 million leave the fund. Those redemptions were only partly offset by smaller inflows elsewhere: VanEck’s HODL added $5.36 million, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT drew $2.17 million, and Bitwise’s BITB brought in $343,040. Total bitcoin ETF value traded was $1.38 billion, while total net assets closed at $76.51 billion.

Ether ETFs also turned lower after five straight days of inflows. Fidelity’s FETH led the exits with $33.96 million. BlackRock’s ETHA lost $12.67 million, Bitwise’s ETHW saw $2.75 million leave, and BlackRock’s ETHB recorded a $2.70 million outflow. Total ether ETF value traded stood at $234.92 million, with net assets closing at $9.34 billion.

Solana ETFs recorded a modest $605,110 net outflow. Invesco’s QSOL accounted for the sale with a $941,370 exit, which was softened by inflows of $260,680 into VanEck’s VSOL and $75,580 into 21Shares’ TSOL. Total solana ETF value traded reached $46.31 million, while net assets closed at $904.67 million. HYPE and XRP ETFs saw no trading activity for the day.

Away from U.S. flows, Japan’s crypto ETF debate continued to build. At the “Open QUICK 2026” seminar, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama signaled that Japan wants to examine a legal path for crypto ETFs as overseas trading expands. The comments follow a broader push to bring digital assets closer to traditional market infrastructure.

Thursday’s flows showed a market still trying to stabilize. Bitcoin and ether remain vulnerable to renewed selling, while solana’s small exit and quiet sessions in HYPE and XRP pointed to a slower, more selective tape.
