Crypto ETF News: Bitcoin and Ethereum Hit Inflows, XRP Remain Silent
Three exploits hit crypto in one day. Together, they cost $35.55 million. Lookonchain tracked all three on X. AFX Trade lost $24.15M to an exploit. The Verus bridge lost $7.55 million. BSquared Network lost $3.86 million.
That's the bad news, but here's the twist. In today's Crypto ETF News roundup, fund buyers barely blinked.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Extend a Seven-Day Run
Bitcoin trades at $65,764.28 today. That's a small dip of 0.25%, per CoinMarketCap data. Market cap sits at $1.31 trillion. Daily trading volume hit $26.45 billion.
Despite the dip, Bitcoin ETF inflows told a different story. SoSoValue data shows $68.99 million flowed into US spot Bitcoin funds on July 22. That's seven straight days of gains. Cumulative flows now total $51.85 billion. Total net assets sit at $80.36 billion.

- BlackRock's IBIT led with $38.78M
- Grayscale's Mini Trust added $37.88M
- Fidelity's FBTC brought in $21.49M
- Bitwise's BITB added $5.36M
- Morgan Stanley's MSBT added $3.77M
- Grayscale's older GBTC trust lost $38.30M
Whale Alert flagged heavy whale transfers over the past day. That movement likely explains some of the price pressure.
Ethereum ETF Inflows Hit a Monthly High
Ethereum price trades at $1.918.78, down just 0.05% today. Market cap stands at $231.57 billion. Volume reached $9.71 billion, per CoinMarketCap.
Ethereum ETF inflows told an even stronger story. SoSoValue reports $72.64M entered US spot Ethereum funds on July 22. That's four straight days of gains. It's also the biggest single-day haul of July. Cumulative flows sit at $11.23 billion. Net assets total $10.57 billion.

Only two funds pulled in money. BlackRock's ETHA led with $53.47M. Fidelity's FETH added $19.18 million.
The Verus bridge hack struck Ethereum's own network today. Yet Lookonchain flagged that Arthur Hayes bought 644.34 more ETH anyway. A separate $1.25 million ETH move added to the mixed mood.
XRP Fund Flows Stay Quiet for an Eighth Day
XRP price today trades at $1.13 today, up 0.12%. Market cap is $70.65B. Volume hit $981.83M, per CoinMarketCap.
SoSoValue shows zero net inflows for XRP funds on July 22. That's the eighth zero-activity day this month. Cumulative inflows still sit at $1.49 billion. Total value traded is $10.90M. Net assets stand at $1.04B.

One bright spot came from outside the fund data. Ripple's mention on CNBC and in Statista's Top Fintech Companies 2026 list stirred fresh reader interest, even without fresh money.

What Comes Next for Crypto ETF News Watchers?
Two trends are running side by side right now. Hackers keep draining protocols. Fund buyers keep showing up anyway. That gap is worth watching in next week's Crypto ETF News flow data.
CoinGabbar Analysis: Fund flow data and hack losses moved in opposite directions this week, a pattern seen before in prior market cycles. Analysts tracking SoSoValue's daily reports note that institutional buying through regulated fund structures tends to move on a slower, more deliberate schedule than exploit-driven headlines, which explains why a $35.55 million hack day did not visibly dent Bitcoin or Ethereum fund demand. XRP's continued zero-flow stretch, by contrast, points to a structural gap between spot price interest and fund-level positioning that has persisted through most of July. Readers should treat single-day flow numbers as one data point among many, not as a standalone signal.
