Recent data from Farside showed significant movements in Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Bitcoin ETFs experienced a $124.1 million inflow on July 29, capitalizing on Bitcoin’s price dip to $66k. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF stood out with an impressive $205.6 million inflow, marking the largest inflow since July 22 and bringing IBIT’s net inflows to $19.9 billion.

Other Bitcoin ETFs, including Bitwise’s BITB and Fidelity’s FBTC, also faced outflows of $21.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Despite these outflows, the total inflows into Bitcoin ETFs now stand at $17.7 billion.
In contrast, Ethereum ETFs continued to experience outflows, with a substantial $98.3 million outflow on July 29.

Despite some positive inflows, the total net outflows for Ethereum ETFs increased to $440.1 million. This data illustrates the contrasting trends in investor sentiment towards Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
