Ethereum ETFs 20-day inflow streak ends with $152M outflow
Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) available in the US saw $152.3 million in outflows on Aug. 1, ending their longest streak of inflows.
According to Farside Investors’ data, the outflow amount was the largest since Jan. 8. It ended the 20-day streak of positive netflows for Ethereum ETFs, which have accumulated nearly $5.4 billion during the period.
The ended streak is not only the largest in duration, but also in total amount of inflows and average daily flow, which was approximately $270 million.
The previous record in duration was 19 days straight, which ended on June 13 and resulted in roughly $1.4 billion captured, with an average of $73 million per day.
However, it was largely eclipsed by the 18-day record that ended on December 19 and inched close to $2.5 billion, resulting in nearly $139 million per day on average.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, pointed out macroeconomic events as the likely causes for August 1 outflows. He noted last week’s statements by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and the strong economic data.
ETHA levels up
Until June 30, Ethereum ETFs registered around $4.3 billion in inflows. By adding close to $5.4 billion in positive net flows last month, Ethereum ETFs increased their flows by 126%.
BlackRock’s ETHA was the main reason behind the growth of Ethereum ETFs. As reported by Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, ETHA was the third-largest ETF by inflows in July, registering close to $4.2 billion and representing 78% of the total.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) were the two funds besting ETHA.
Usually, Balchunas calls the high flows into VOO and IBIT as “beta with a side of Bitcoin.” Yet, he highlighted on August 4:
“Top 3 ETFs (out of 4,432) in one month flows: $VOO, $IBIT, $ETHA. I used to say ‘Beta with a side of Bitcoin’ to describe this (which was most of 2024 leaderboard) but need a new phrase, ideally an aliteration, to incl Ether. If you think of anything i’m all ears.”
As of August 1, ETHA shows over $9.7 billion in cumulative flows.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
