Bitcoin, Ether ETFs Draw $239M as Japan Advances Crypto ETF Rules
Bitcoin and ether ETFs drew $239 million in net inflows on July 14, led by BlackRock’s IBIT and ETHA, as Japan advanced rules to allow crypto ETFs under its Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
On July 14, 2026, bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds recorded a combined $239.42 million in net inflows, with bitcoin funds taking $181.08 million and ether funds $58.34 million.
BlackRock’s IBIT led bitcoin inflows with $138.91 million. Fidelity’s FBTC added $21.07 million, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT drew $7.40 million, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust received $6.56 million, Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB added $3.64 million and Bitwise’s BITB took in $3.50 million. Total value traded across bitcoin ETFs was about $2.30 billion and total net assets for the category closed at roughly $77.96 billion. No bitcoin ETF reported an outflow on the session.
All ether ETF inflows, totaling $58.34 million, went into BlackRock’s ETHA. Ether ETF trading volume was $808.76 million and the category’s net assets rose to about $10.09 billion. No ether fund recorded an outflow during the day.
Products linked to HYPE, XRP and Solana recorded no trading activity on July 14.
Morgan Stanley filed amended proposals for proposed spot ether and spot Solana ETFs that include Coinbase Custody among service providers and set out staking provisions in the filings; those applications remain subject to regulatory approval.
Japanese lawmakers advanced reforms to classify crypto assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The revisions would allow regulated crypto ETFs under the existing financial-products regime and propose a lower tax framework for crypto assets.
The inflows followed uneven trading earlier in the week and were concentrated in a small set of funds within the two largest crypto-backed ETF categories.
