Finestel cites ETF inflows and on-chain buying spikes as the reason why the second week saw a 9% rise, when BTC price crossed the $120,000 mark. As the price passed the peak value, it settled at $117,000, prompting asset managers to reduce risks. The overall July gain amounted to 8%.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethereum\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s figures were superior. It showcased a 17.03% monthly gain, reaching $3,800 and nearing $4,000.

According to Finetsel, of $12.8 billion attracted by Bitcoin ETFs in July, $6 billion flowed to Bitcoin and $5.43 billion flowed to Ethereum. BlackRock gained $84 billion, capturing 75% of new funds.\u00a0 The fourth week\u2019s outflow was only $72 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Corporate crypto treasuries intensified their race in the fourth week of July, accumulating 60,107 BTC in just one week\u2013over 40% of all bitcoins purchased by Bitcoin treasuries since April, marking increased demand for bitcoins from institutions.
