Bitcoin ETFs end July in the green despite late-month selling

In July, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) managed to end the month with a modest gain, attracting $172.4 million in net inflows, according to SoSoValue data. This marked a turnaround from the two consecutive months of outflows that had been occurring prior to July. Despite this positive monthly performance, the funds still ended the year to date with a $5.3 billion net outflow, down from the $7 billion in combined outflows in the two months before July.

The end of July saw a wave of selling pressure, as the funds logged a $265.4 million net outflow on the final day of the month. This was the largest single-day withdrawal since July 13. While July's inflows brought some relief and turned the monthly flow positive, the overall year-to-date performance of US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs remains negative, with around $5.3 billion in net outflows.

Since their launch in January 2024, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have brought in a combined $3.46 billion in inflows, but have also seen about $8.75 billion in outflows. The only positive months so far in 2026 have been March, April, and July. Bitcoin ETFs have still attracted a total of $51.32 billion in cumulative net inflows since their inception. The products are currently valued at $76.29 billion in total net assets at the end of July.
