BTC funds added $66.2 million Tuesday to extend a nine-session streak to about $3.1 billion, SoSoValue data showed, while Ether funds posted a small outflow after a week of gains.
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds extended their net inflow streak to nine trading days on Tuesday, adding $66.2 million and taking the run’s total to roughly $3.1 billion, according to SoSoValue. The data provider said year-to-date net inflows for the cohort rose to about $1 billion.
Flows outside Bitcoin were softer. Spot Ether funds posted roughly $3 million in net outflows on Tuesday after seven consecutive inflow sessions that brought in more than $851 million. Cumulative Ether fund net inflows stand at about $14 billion, based on SoSoValue figures. Earlier in the week, Zcash funds recorded $8 million in net outflows on Monday after a six-day inflow streak.
ETF flow prints are a clean read on regulated demand. Creations typically require the underlying asset to be sourced, so sustained inflows can translate into steady buying through the fund complex. A single day of Ether outflows is small relative to the prior week’s gains, but it marks a turn worth watching after that run.
Spot market tone was modestly softer. Bitcoin traded around $83,567, down 0.4% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Alternative.me’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index eased to 71 from 73 a day earlier while remaining in “Greed.”
Macro commentary also leaned cautious. “The rise in crude prices is capping non-yielding assets, so Bitcoin’s rally has taken a bit of a pause,” said Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com, in remarks to Cointelegraph. He added that Bitcoin could struggle to regain momentum while energy-price risks persist, though its technical setup remained “quite constructive.”
What to watch next: whether Bitcoin ETFs can extend the inflow run with larger daily prints, and whether Ether’s one-day outflow proves to be a blip or the start of a tighter range for flows. Issuer-level breakdowns and creation/redemption detail would help separate tactical rebalancing from more durable allocation shifts.

🧠 HafidWatch Take
Sustained demand from Bitcoin ETFs depends not just on the length of the inflow streak but on whether daily inflows consistently exceed a certain threshold. Given that $3.1 billion over nine days averages roughly $344 million daily—much higher than recent $66 million prints—a prolonged streak with smaller daily inflows could give a misleading impression of strong demand. Without a steady return to higher daily creation levels, the inflow streak may overstate the strength of marginal buying pressure despite its length.
