Sign InIn a move reflecting a significant shift in crypto market sentiment, Bitcoin funds recorded $287 million in inflows, ending a record-breaking eight-week outflow streak. According to analyst reports, this negative cycle had previously seen approximately $8 billion exit the market before the current reversal. Ethereum-linked investment products also saw positive momentum with $84 million in inflows, signaling a collective recovery in institutional appetite for major digital assets.
This pivot follows a period of intense selling pressure on U.S.-based spot ETFs, with historical data suggesting the previous outflow streak was the longest since the inception of spot Bitcoin funds. In comparison to traditional assets, these inflows coincided with cooling U.S. inflation; per market data, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) released on July 14, 2026, dropped to 3.5% from a previous 4.2%, bolstering the appeal of high-risk assets.
Looking ahead, traders are monitoring the stability of these capital flows amid a lack of updated spot price data at this time. Following the recent U.S. inflation data which came in below forecasts at 3.5%, focus now shifts to upcoming speeches from Federal Reserve officials to gauge the future path of monetary policy and its subsequent impact on crypto market liquidity.
Update: The funds extended their recovery with $79.2 million in inflows on Thursday, bringing the three-day total to approximately $368 million. This momentum has turned July flows positive, a significant reversal following heavy outflows in June and May of $4.51 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.
Update: Daily data for Thursday, July 16, revealed a divergence in performance as Bitcoin products attracted an additional $79.15 million, while Ether funds faced selling pressure resulting in $28.04 million in outflows. In a sign of further institutional expansion, T. Rowe Price launched a new multi-token fund with a significant allocation to HYPE.
