Ethereum ETFs Outpace Bitcoin in Monthly Inflows for the First Time
Key Facts
In a significant shift within the digital asset market, spot Ethereum ETFs successfully attracted more than twice the capital drawn by Bitcoin ETFs during July. According to reports, monthly inflows for Ethereum ETFs reached approximately $365 million, signaling a growing institutional preference or a rotation into Ethereum following the successful launch and scaling of its spot ETF products.
This outperformance in capital attraction comes as market data indicates Ethereum regaining momentum against Bitcoin. While Ethereum ETFs recorded their strongest monthly performance since launch, Bitcoin ETFs saw their lowest monthly total in history, attracting only $205 million. This trend is further supported by a 25% recovery in the ETH/BTC trading ratio from its May 2026 lows, bolstered by Ethereum's role in stablecoin settlement and staking yields.
Looking ahead, investors are monitoring liquidity stability, though specific numeric price levels are unavailable as of August 13, 2026. From a macro perspective, recent US economic data, such as Initial Jobless Claims which hit 199k (as of August 6, 2026), may influence risk appetite in the crypto sector, while markets await further commentary from Fed officials regarding the monetary policy path.
