Bitcoin ETFs rebound with $119M inflow as Ether extends losses
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $119 million on Tuesday, reversing a $90 million outflow from Monday, even as Bitcoin’s price slipped below $84,000. Ether-focused ETFs extended a six-session withdrawal streak, registering about $202 million of outflows on Tuesday and roughly $408 million over the period.
Why It Matters
The divergent flows show investor appetite remains selective across crypto ETFs: demand returned to Bitcoin products despite short-term price weakness, while Ether funds continue to suffer sustained withdrawals. These fund flows signal how market participants are allocating capital within crypto-focused exchange-traded products amid volatile spot prices.

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds returned to net inflows on Tuesday, drawing $119 million and reversing a $90 million outflow recorded the previous day, according to SoSoValue data. The inflows came even as the price of Bitcoin slipped, dropping from above $86,600 to below $84,000 during the session; at the time of publication CoinGecko quoted BTC at $83,971, down about 2.1% over 24 hours.
Market observers pointed to profit-taking pressure that may have capped a stronger recovery for Bitcoin. CryptoQuant contributor MorenoDV noted that active traders’ estimated cost basis sits near $68,900, and that Bitcoin was trading at a significant premium to that level — a condition that encouraged selling. MorenoDV said whether the rebound can be sustained will depend on fresh demand being able to absorb those sales.
Ether-focused ETFs continued to see substantial outflows, extending a six-session streak. On Tuesday, Ether funds registered roughly $202 million of net withdrawals, a sharp increase from about $51 million on Monday, bringing the total outflows over the multi-day run to approximately $408 million.
Other crypto ETFs showed mixed activity on Tuesday: XRP ETFs attracted about $3.1 million in inflows, Solana (SOL) ETFs saw approximately $3.7 million leave, and Zcash (ZEC) ETFs reported no net flows after posting outflows during the prior two sessions. The data illustrate uneven investor interest across different crypto exchange-traded products amid the recent price volatility.
