Ethereum spot ETFs attracted $365.17 million in July, the strongest monthly inflow since October 2025, but weekly inflows collapsed 74% to $27.42 million in the week ending July 31. The pullback followed the Fed holding rates at 3.50%–3.75% on July 29 (9-3 vote) and a 64% chance of a September hike, raising macro downside risk for crypto as Bitcoin ETFs shed $61.53 million while XRP ETFs pushed cumulative inflows past $1.5 billion.

In Brief

Ethereum spot ETFs drew $365.17 million in July, the strongest month since October 2025.
Weekly inflows collapsed 74% to $27.42 million after the Fed held rates.
Bitcoin ETFs turned negative while XRP funds crossed $1.5 billion in cumulative inflows.

Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs recorded their strongest month since October 2025. Yet the ending week of July raises concerns about whether institutional appetite is already fading.

Inflows dropped 74% in the final week as the Federal Reserve held rates steady. The pullback raises a key question over whether the demand will carry into August.

Ethereum ETF Inflows Hit 9-Month High Before Buyers Retreat

Ethereum funds attracted $365.17 million in July, their best showing in 9 months, per SoSoValue. The total came after back-to-back redemptions of $540.88 million in May and $528.99 million in June.

The recovery lost steam fast, though. Weekly inflows collapsed from $103.9 million to $27.42 million in the week ending July 31.

Price action offered little help. ETH touched $1,967 on July 27, its highest level in nearly two months, before sliding to about $1,863 by Friday, CoinGecko data shows.

Demand also slowed across other ETF products. Bitcoin (BTC) funds shed $61.53 million during the week, snapping three straight weeks of net buying.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) products bled for a third consecutive week, losing $14.75 million. XRP (XRP) ETFs added $14.86 million, pushing cumulative inflows past $1.5 billion.

Fed Hold and Hike Odds Put August Demand in Question

Macro caution appears central to the retreat. The Federal Reserve voted 9-3 on July 29 to keep the interest rate at 3.50%-3.75%.

Three regional presidents, Beth Hammack, Neel Kashkari, and Lorie Logan, dissented in favor of a hike with inflation still above target.Markets now price in a 64% chance of a quarter-point hike in September, keeping tightening risk alive for risk assets.

“I want to stress, of course, that decisions by this committee matter a great deal, and where necessary and appropriate, we will not hesitate to act,” Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said.

If investors stay risk-off into August, the late-July slowdown may extend and erase the month’s progress. However, a revival in demand would confirm July’s rebound as the start of a broader recovery rather than a one-month bounce. The Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium in late August may offer the next signal.
