Crypto ETF Flow Data Pauses Friday as U.S. Markets Close…

Crypto ETF flow reporting paused on Friday, July 3, because U.S. equity markets were closed for the Independence Day holiday, leaving Thursday’s session as the latest available fund-flow snapshot for U.S.-listed Bitcoin, Ether and Solana exchange-traded products. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were closed on July 3, 2026, because Independence Day fell on Saturday and was observed by U.S. markets on Friday. As a result, U.S.-listed spot crypto ETFs did not trade and did not generate a normal daily creation-and-redemption flow print for the date. Crypto spot markets remained open through the holiday, but ETF flow data was effectively paused until trading resumed on Monday, July 6. The last available session before the holiday showed a broad recovery in crypto ETF demand. According to Farside Investors, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $223.5 million of net inflows on July 2, reversing two consecutive outflow sessions earlier in the week. Ether ETFs added $29.0 million, while Solana ETFs brought in $2.2 million.

Bitcoin Funds Rebound Before Holiday

Bitcoin ETFs produced the strongest move in the latest available session. The $223.5 million inflow on July 2 followed $296.0 million of outflows on July 1 and $222.6 million of outflows on June 30. That three-session sequence showed how quickly institutional flows can shift around macro data, liquidity conditions and short-term price positioning. At the fund level, Fidelity’s FBTC led the July 2 Bitcoin ETF flows with $166.0 million of inflows. Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB added $91.8 million, while WisdomTree’s BTCW brought in $4.4 million and VanEck’s HODL added $1.7 million. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded $40.4 million of outflows, while several other products, including Bitwise’s BITB, Grayscale’s GBTC and Grayscale’s BTC, were flat. The split was notable because Bitcoin demand returned even as flows were concentrated in a small number of products. Fidelity and Ark absorbed most of the day’s capital, while BlackRock saw a modest redemption. That suggests investors were not making a uniform allocation decision across the category, but rotating between issuers, cost structures and liquidity preferences.

Ether and Solana Stay Positive

Ether ETFs also remained positive, with Farside showing $29.0 million of net inflows on July 2. BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for most of the activity with $29.7 million of inflows. Fidelity’s FETH added $0.8 million and VanEck’s ETHV added $1.2 million, while Grayscale’s ETHE posted $2.7 million of outflows. The remaining Ether funds were flat. Solana ETFs posted a smaller but still positive session, with $2.2 million of net inflows on July 2. The entire gain came from Bitwise’s BSOL, while other listed Solana products showed no flow for the day. The holiday timing makes the data easy to misread. There were no Friday ETF flows because there was no U.S. market session. The relevant signal is therefore the July 2 pre-holiday setup: Bitcoin ETFs recovered from heavy outflows, Ether demand remained constructive and Solana products continued to attract incremental capital. The next important print will show whether that demand carried into the post-holiday trading week or mainly reflected short-term rebalancing before the long weekend.
