Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) experienced net outflows on Friday, breaking a period of positive momentum. Data from SoSoValue shows that Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $164.64 million, ending a five-day streak of inflows. Bitcoin ETFs also turned negative, with $126.64 million in net outflows, their first daily loss since August 22.
The outflows coincided with the release of the Federal Reserve’s core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, which is a key measure of inflation. The report showed a 2.9% annualized increase in July, the highest since February, which is being attributed to rising import costs from President Donald Trump’s new tariff policies.
Despite the recent dip, Ethereum ETFs have seen strong growth since their launch, with net inflows increasing by 44% in August. This growth is linked to a resurgence of institutional interest and a rise in corporate treasuries adopting Ether. According to StrategicETHReserve, companies now hold 4.4 million ETH, worth over $19 billion.
