US Ethereum ETFs recorded $52.08 million in net outflows, abruptly ending a five-consecutive-day inflow streak that had built momentum throughout early July.
The reversal came after a strong run that began on July 1, when Ethereum ETFs attracted $14.89 million in fresh inflows from investors.
Inflows continued steadily on July 2 with $29.08 million entering the funds, followed by $20.66 million on July 6 as buying pressure held firm into the new week.
The streak gained further steam on July 7 with $26.93 million in inflows, before peaking on July 8 when Ethereum ETFs pulled in a notable $70.48 million.
The sudden $52.08 million outflow day sharply reversed that momentum, dragging cumulative net inflows back down to $10.96 billion across all US Ethereum ETF products.
Total net assets held by Ethereum ETFs settled at $9.34 billion following the outflow, reflecting the significant shift in short-term investor sentiment.
Trading volume also contracted sharply, with total value traded coming in at $234.92 million, well below the prior session’s $483.21 million.
For the full week, Ethereum ETFs shed $13.67 million, marking their eighth consecutive week of net outflows and underscoring persistent selling pressure around the asset class.
Year-to-date losses for Ethereum ETFs have now climbed to $1.44 billion, a significant figure that highlights how challenging 2026 has been for ether-based fund products.
Altcoin ETFs bucked the bearish trend, finishing the week in positive territory, with XRP ETFs leading gains at $17.19 million, followed by SOL ETFs at $5.75 million, HYPE ETFs at $4.32 million, and LINK ETFs at $915,000.
The divergence between Ethereum ETF outflows and altcoin ETF inflows suggests that institutional capital may be rotating away from ETH toward emerging alternative assets.
Bitcoin ETFs have also experienced their own flow dynamics this year, though the continued weakness in Ethereum-specific products raises questions about longer-term demand among institutional allocators.
