Bitcoin ETFs’ inflow streak hits 15 days, pulling in nearly $5 billion as BTC hovers below all-time highs
Quick Take The net inflow streak of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs has extended to 15 days, totaling $4.7 billion. The continued daily inflows come as bitcoin lingers less than 5% below all-time highs.
The net inflow streak of U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds extended into a fifteenth day on Monday, adding $102.1 million to a total of $4.7 billion for the period, according to data compiled by The Block.
BlackRock's IBIT continued its dominance over the other Bitcoin funds, attracting $112.3 million in net inflows on the last day of June alone. That was offset by $10.2 million worth of net outflows from Ark Invest and 21Shares' ARKB fund, with all the other ETFs registering zero flows for the day. IBIT also leads the 15-day streak, accounting for $3.8 billion or 81% of the net inflows.
"15 straight days of inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs," The ETF Store President Nate Geraci said on X. "Approaching $5 billion in new $$$. Not $5 billion this year. That's $5 billion over the past 15 trading days," he added — referencing when many pundits thought the top end for the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs in year one would be $5 billion.
However, Monday's net inflows represent a slowing in pace following the $501.2 million added on Friday and $316 million average during the 15-day run.
The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have now received $49.3 billion in cumulative net inflows since their debut in January 2024 and $13.8 billion year-to-date, with nearly $128 billion in assets now under management amid the concurrent price rise, per The Block's Bitcoin ETF Tracker page.
Meanwhile, the U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs saw $31.8 million in net inflows on Monday, led by $25.7 million into Fidelity's FETH fund. Total net inflows for the Ethereum funds, which launched later in July 2024, currently stand at $4.2 billion.
Cooling institutional enthusiasm
Bitcoin briefly broke above $108,000 and Ethereum topped $2,500 over the weekend before correcting on Monday and Tuesday, as traders gear up for a week of key macro data and remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Bitcoin is currently trading for $106,707, according to The Block's BTC price page , while Ethereum is changing hands for $2,457.
BRN Lead Research Analyst Valentin Fournier told The Block that the slowing pace of ETF inflows casts doubt on bitcoin reaching new all-time highs above $112,000 in the near term.
"This suggests a cooling in short-term institutional enthusiasm, even as market activity remains elevated, raising doubts about bitcoin's ability to break $110K without new catalysts," Fournier said. "While short-term momentum has faded, medium-term signals remain bullish, especially with corporate treasuries accelerating their accumulation pace."

Deutsche Bank points out that the market narrative regarding the U.S. economy has shifted from "AI drives down inflation" to "AI-related bond issuance pushes up U.S. Treasury yields," but pessimism may be overdone.

Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating on US technology stocks from overweight to neutral, noting that the fifth round of tech stock rally since July 29 is approaching the upper boundary of the long-term trend channel. The current upside potential is only about 4 percentage points, while historical trends indicate downside risks could reach 16 percentage points. Funds are expected to rotate into other sectors, and the European market, with its lower tech exposure, is likely to benefit relatively. However, Deutsche Bank emphasized that the long-term outperformance trend of technology stocks remains unchanged.
How expensive is AI computing power rental in the US? "Spot price" is twice that of long-term contracts, and four times the return threshold for cloud service providers.
The short-term spot leasing price for AI computing power reaches as high as $40 to $50 billion per gigawatt per year, while the price for long-term contracts is only $20 billion per year, and the breakeven threshold for supercomputing cloud operators is around $12 billion per year. However, according to Goldman Sachs, the fundamental reason why hyperscale cloud providers like Google rent computing power at such significant premiums is that their in-house capacity cannot keep up; once their own capacity catches up, the spot premium will disappear.
