U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded their lowest trading volume for a full five-session week since October 2024, while ether ETFs continued to outperform their larger counterparts in attracting new capital.
Spot bitcoin ETF trading volume totaled roughly $8.05 billion during the week ending Friday, down 14% from $9.37 billion in the preceding period, according to The Block’s analysis of SoSoValue data.
The funds last posted lower weekly volume in April 2025, though that period contained only four trading sessions because U.S. markets were closed for Good Friday. Among full five-session weeks, the latest figure was the lowest since the week ending Oct. 11, 2024.
The decline reflects subdued trading activity as bitcoin remained near $64,000, well below the record highs reached late last year. The funds nevertheless finished the week with approximately $33.8 million in net inflows, extending their positive run to three weeks after ending a record eight-week outflow streak earlier this month.
The result was the weakest draw of those three positive weeks, following inflows of $75.7 million the previous week and $197.4 million the week before that. Bitcoin ETFs drew about $499.1 million over the first three sessions of the week before investors withdrew $225.2 million on Thursday and another $240.1 million Friday, erasing nearly all of the earlier gains.
