Crypto ETF Flow Data Pauses July 3 as U.S. Markets Close for Holiday

BTC-1.85%
SOL-1.94%

U.S.-listed crypto ETF flow reporting paused on Friday July 3 because equity markets were closed for the Independence Day holiday, leaving Thursday July 2 as the latest available session for Bitcoin, Ether and Solana exchange-traded products. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq observed Independence Day on Friday after the holiday fell on Saturday, halting normal ETF trading and creation-redemption activity. Crypto spot markets remained open through the holiday, but ETF flow data resumed when trading returned on Monday July 6. The July 2 pre-holiday session showed broad recovery in crypto ETF demand, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recording $223.5 million of net inflows, Ether ETFs adding $29.0 million, and Solana ETFs bringing in $2.2 million, according to Farside Investors.

Bitcoin ETFs Record $223.5 Million Inflows on July 2

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, according to Farside Investors.

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. Bitwise's BITB, Grayscale's GBTC and Grayscale's BTC were flat.

The flow concentration was notable. 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 ETFs Maintain Positive Flow on July 2

Ether ETFs 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.
