Bitcoin ETFs See Interrupted Inflow Streak Amid Bearish BTC Price

Guy Fawkes 2025.07.03 3 min read

The relentless inflow streak into US spot Bitcoin ETFs have come to an abrupt halt amidst renewed bearish momentum and political headwinds. On 1 July 2025, the 12 US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively recorded $342.25 million in net outflows. This marks the end of a robust 15ßdaz run that had seen $4.73 billion pour into US spot Bitcoin ETFs since mid-June.

While Fidelity’s FBTC saw the largest withdrawal with $172.73 million in outflows, Grayscale’s GBTC saw $119.51 million redeemed.

ARK21Shares’ ARKB recorded $27.03 million in outflows. Bitwise’s BITB registered $22.98 million in redemptions.

This has been a rather slow quarter for Bitcoin. But in contrast, ETH-focused funds collectively drew in $40.68 million in net inflows.

Impact of Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

BTC ▲0.75% is hovering near $107,000, hardly on the verge of a knockout.

However, the sharp reversal in Bitcoin ETF flows coincided with the US Senate’s passage of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” It is a $3.3 trillion spending package passed by a razor thin 51-50 margin. Unsurprisingly, Vice President JD Vance casted the tie-breaking vote. However, the bill notably excluded any provisions related to Bitcoin, crypto mining or staking.

The omission disappointed many in the crypto industry.

Crypto ETFs Guidance: What the SEC Now Requires From Issuers

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has finally given crypto ETF issuers something they’ve been asking for: clarity. On 1 July 2025, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance dropped a detailed guide outlining what applicants need to include in their filings if they want any shot at getting a cryptocurrency ETF approved. The crypto ETF guidance comes at a time when interest in Ethereum-based products is continuously rising.

It’s not exactly light reading, but it’s a serious step forward for firms hoping to launch funds tied to digital assets like Ethereum or token baskets. Rather than keep issuers guessing, the SEC is laying it all out, from valuation to custody to who’s checking the math behind the scenes.
