-
BlackRock’s IBIT grabbed $319 million of this week’s $499 million in inflows.

July’s BTC ETF recovery covers only 15% of June’s losses, with Bitcoin funds still on $4.76 billion in net outflows for 2026.
U.S. spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) ETFs have recorded nearly $1 billion in inflows over seven straight sessions, marking their strongest stretch in 11 weeks. Investors have added $499.05 million this week, and the funds now hold about 6% of all the Bitcoin in existence.
BlackRock’s IBIT leads the inflow streak, taking in $319.16 million of this week’s total and topping every session. Could this finally be the start of a long-awaited recovery for Bitcoin ETFs after the funds saw nearly $7 billion in outflows across May and June?
Bitcoin ETFs Just Logged Seven Straight Days of Inflows

Investors pulled out $424.66 million from Bitcoin ETFs on July 13, and that was the last outflow day, which also marked the heaviest single-day withdrawal of the month so far. Since then, money has come back in every session. The last time U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs managed seven straight days of inflows was early October 2025, when Bitcoin traded near its all-time high around $126,000.
The buying has swung wildly from day to day. Investors added $181.08 million on July 14, then slowed to $107.80 million on July 15 and $79.15 million on July 16, before putting in $132.30 million on July 17.
They bought the most on July 20 and July 21, at $226.92 million and $203.14 million, as Bitcoin climbed above $66,000 on reports that President Trump had agreed to the ethics rules holding up the CLARITY Act. Investors added just $68.99 million on July 22, which is the weakest session of the streak.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has pulled in $60.81 billion since it launched, while every spot Bitcoin ETF put together has taken in $51.85 billion. Grayscale’s GBTC is what drags the total funds down, having lost $27.42 billion since it converted into an ETF, with another $38.30 million leaving on July 22. Grayscale charges 1.50% a year against IBIT’s 0.25%, and that difference compounds into serious money for anyone holding for years.
In Bitcoin terms, IBIT now holds 3.70% of every coin that exists, while the other twelve spot ETFs hold 2.38% between them. In terms of trading activity, the same exists, with $871.32 million of the $1.11 billion that changed hands across all thirteen funds on July 22 going through IBIT alone.
Fidelity’s FBTC charges nothing at all, yet it holds $11.38 billion against IBIT’s $48.86 billion. A free fund losing more than four to one to a fund charging 0.25% says price is not what decides this. BlackRock wins on distribution, because its products are already on the platforms that pension managers, endowments and financial advisers use every day, so buying IBIT means clicking a button they have clicked a thousand times before.
IBIT also led every session this week, recording $116.48 million on July 20, $163.90 million on July 21 and $38.78 million on July 22, which amounts to $319.16 million of the $499.05 million that came in. Over the previous week it pulled in $204 million while the total ETF funds kept just $75.67 million, because investors were pulling $181 million out of Fidelity’s FBTC at the same time.
Has the Bitcoin ETF Outflow Stopped?
Investors have added $699.22 million to Bitcoin ETFs so far in July, making it the first month of net inflows since April. But a total of $4.51 billion was pulled out of these funds in June alone, so July has recovered only about 15% of the damage from last month.
Across 2026 as a whole, these funds are still down $4.76 billion in net outflows, and the buying is slowing rather than picking up. The ETFs recorded $226.92 million inflows on July 20 but only $68.99 million by July 22, which is the smallest daily total of the current streak.
So the outflows have slowed, but calling them over after seven days would be premature. Undoing what investors took out in May and June would take months of steady buying, and most of the money coming in right now is going through a single fund.
