Well, hold on to your hats, because Erik Balchunas, the senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, has just dropped some news hotter than a fresh cup of coffee! According to his latest post on X (yes, X, not Twitter, because why not make things more confusing?), crypto ETFs are outpacing their traditional financial counterparts, and it’s not even close. Move over, old-school ETFs, there’s a new kid in town!
And in case you missed it, the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that have been trading since January 2024 have just had their best month ever. Yes, you read that right. Ever. As in, better than last month, better than last year, better than anything ever before. Erik has confirmed that July 2025 was a record-breaker for these crypto marvels.
The Best Month for Crypto ETFs (VOO Can’t Keep Up)
According to Erik’s Twitter (because who needs traditional press releases when you have social media?), these crypto ETFs had a jaw-dropping $12.8 billion in inflows last month. That’s a whopping $600 million a day, folks. Double the usual amount, and possibly enough to make your bank account look a little more like a phone number.
And just to rub salt in the wound, the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have done so well, they’ve surpassed every other ETF, including the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO). Yes, even that old stalwart of the traditional market can’t keep up. Who’s laughing now?
US Crypto ETFs took in $12.8b in July, the best month ever, a $600m/day pace, about double avg. As a group that’s more than any single ETF did, incl the Mighty VOO. Further, every ETF in category took in cash (ex the converted Trusts) w/ Bitcoin and Ether making equal…

According to Erik’s ever-informative tweet, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are eating up the same amount of cash. It’s an equal opportunity money maker.
Bitcoin ETFs Just Sucked in Nine BTC (Because Why Not?)
But, wait! Just when you think the party’s over, here comes the twist. Despite the massive inflows, some outflows managed to sneak in and steal the thunder. Analytics account Lookonchain has revealed that, while Bitcoin and Ethereum funds were raking in the dough, some of it slipped right out the back door. Talk about a plot twist.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) grabbed 295 BTC, worth a cool $34.83 million. If that sounds like a lot of money, that’s because it is. At the time of writing, it holds 740,896 BTC, valued at an absurd $87.41 billion. That’s a lot of Bitcoin. But, as we all know, what goes up must come down, and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust lost 424 BTC, leaving a measly net positive of nine BTC. Yes, nine. Maybe they just needed to call in a Bitcoin expert to help them out.
