BlackRock drew about $343.4 million into its spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds over five sessions as institutional crypto demand recovered.
Key Points:
- BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund, IBIT, recorded $204.1 million in net inflows from Jul. 13 through Jul. 17.
- Its Ethereum funds, ETHA and ETHB, attracted a combined $139.3 million during the same period.
- Four positive Bitcoin ETF sessions erased the effect of a $185.5 million IBIT withdrawal on Jul. 13.
BlackRock ETF Inflows
IBIT began the period with a $185.5 million outflow on Jul. 13, but four consecutive days of buying reversed that loss and left the fund with $204.1 million in net additions.
The fund collected $138.9 million on Jul. 14, $80.8 million on Jul. 15 and $33.4 million on Jul. 16, before leading the market with another $136.5 million on Jul. 17.
The broader U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market followed a similar pattern, falling by $424.7 million on Jul. 13 before recording net inflows in each of the next four sessions.
BlackRock’s Ethereum products also finished higher, with ETHA attracting $135.3 million and ETHB adding $4 million, according to the reported fund-flow data.
ETHA’s strongest session came on Jul. 14 with $58.3 million, followed by $45.3 million on Jul. 15 and $31.7 million on Jul. 17.

Ethereum Demand Concentration
The figures show that returning Ethereum ETF demand remained heavily concentrated in BlackRock’s funds, rather than being distributed evenly among competing issuers.
On Jul. 17, ETHA supplied more than $31 million of the market’s $36.7 million in total Ethereum ETF inflows, while its historical net inflows surpassed $11.3 billion.
The five-day activity also aligned with a broader rise in both cryptocurrencies, as Bitcoin recovered from about $63,000 and briefly moved above $65,000, while Ethereum outperformed it during several sessions.
That concentration matters because large ETF issuers can channel institutional demand into regulated products without requiring investors to hold tokens directly, making daily fund flows a closely watched measure of market appetite.
The inflows came as BlackRock reported record second-quarter assets under management of $15.3 trillion, supported by $192 billion in quarterly net inflows across its wider investment platform. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows have remained uneven in 2026, with sharp withdrawals often followed by rapid rebounds, so the latest five-day gain reflects renewed demand rather than a continuous, one-direction trend.
