Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the US saw limited net inflows of $3.05 million on Wednesday. Thus, the series of 13 transaction days of uninterrupted money outflows, which had led to an outflow of more than $4.4 billion since mid-May, ended. However, the data indicated that the recovery in question remained quite limited for now.
Limited recovery in Bitcoin ETFs
Ongoing outflows have reduced the total asset size of spot Bitcoin ETFs to $80.40 billion. The amount in question was significantly below the level of 104.29 billion dollars in the period when the exit series started. While BlackRock’s IBIT product, the largest fund in the market, received an inflow of 47.66 million dollars, it was reported that outflows continued in Fidelity’s FBTC, Bitwise’s BITB and Ark’s ARKB.
The net inflow of $3.05 million, which came after 13 trading days of intense outflows, is considered a limited pause signal rather than a change in direction.
According to CheckonChain data, the total amount of Bitcoin managed in US spot Bitcoin ETFs is 1,277 million BTC. This level was slightly above the 1,274 million BTC bottom seen on February 23, when Bitcoin was recovering from its decline in February. The amount of Bitcoin held in ETFs peaked at 1,376 million BTC in October 2025. Since then, there has been a decline of approximately 99 thousand BTC, or 7.2%.
Ether ETFs also have an exit streak over
A similar picture occurred in Spot Ether ETFs. These products recorded a net inflow of $19.30 million on the same day, following a 17-trading day-long debut streak. All of the daily inflow came from BlackRock’s ETHA fund. In all other spot Ether ETFs, net flow was recorded as zero.
Total spot Ether ETF assets stand at $9.78 billion. This figure corresponds to 4.57% of the Ether market value in circulation. Cumulative inflows since launch in 2024 have reached $11.21 billion. Despite this, the category is still approximately $2 billion below the asset peak seen in the previous part of the year.
In Spot Ether ETFs, all of the $19.30 million net inflow on the day came from BlackRock’s ETHA fund, while other products saw no movement.
hyperliquid linked ETFs have positive divergence
The only category that continued to record steady inflows during the broader outflow period was Hyperliquid-linked HYPE ETFs. On Wednesday, this group of three funds received another total of $12.15 million in inflows. Bitwise’s BHYP fund attracted $7.45 million, while Grayscale’s new low-fee HYPG fund raised $4.70 million on its first day of trading.
Mini dictionary: Hyperliquid is known as a crypto platform focused on on-chain derivative transactions. HYPE refers to the entity connected to this ecosystem; The ETFs mentioned in the news also include investment products based on this theme.
HYPE ETFs’ net assets have increased to $185.68 million in approximately four weeks since the launch on May 12. Each trading day during this time period closed with net inflows, marking the category’s differentiation from other crypto ETFs.
Market prices remained under pressure
The analysis noted that the recent inflows seen in Bitcoin and Ether ETFs were quite limited compared to the size of the long outflow series that ended. The $3 million inflow, which followed the approximately $4.4 billion Bitcoin ETF outflow, was evaluated to be a statistically low-impact move and may not indicate a significant trend change. Moreover, this flow occurred on a day when Bitcoin was already trading at $63,629.
In Asian transactions, Bitcoin fell to $62,715, while Ether fell to $1,696. Broader risk appetite also weakened. Broadcom’s outlook below expectations and the 4.7% drop in the KOSPI index in the South Korean stock market pointed to a backdrop of increased pressure in global markets.
