Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Attract $865 Million Inflows Driven by Institutional Confidence

Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued their strong performance last week, drawing a combined $865 million in fresh capital, according to latest inflow data [1]. This marks a significant development in the ETF rally that has been gaining traction amid rising institutional and retail investor participation. Bitcoin ETFs recorded $403.88 million in inflows, marking their third consecutive positive session, with BlackRock’s IBIT dominating the flows at $359.98 million—nearly 88% of the total. Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $30.49 million and $13.41 million, respectively [1]. No outflows were recorded, and total trading volume reached $2.61 billion, with net assets remaining stable at $150.70 billion [1].

Ether ETFs outperformed even Bitcoin, seeing a record $461.21 million in inflows, their fourth consecutive day of positive flows [1]. BlackRock’s ETHA led with $254.73 million, followed by Fidelity’s FETH with $132.35 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust and ETHE added $38.25 million and $26.84 million, respectively. Smaller players like Bitwise’s ETHW and Invesco’s QETH also saw inflows of $7.83 million and $1.22 million. Ether ETF trading volume surged to $2.44 billion, and net assets rose to $23.38 billion [1].

The inflow surge indicates a growing institutional conviction in the crypto asset class, with Bitcoin and Ether ETFs serving as key conduits for capital entering the digital asset space. The consistent inflows suggest improved market confidence, driven by enhanced regulatory clarity and the increasing accessibility of crypto investment vehicles. As these ETFs continue to attract capital, they may contribute to greater liquidity and more efficient price discovery in the broader crypto market. However, the sustainability of the inflows will depend on how these funds perform amid potential macroeconomic shifts or regulatory developments. The recent inflow data reflects a strong appetite for crypto-backed assets and signals a broader shift toward institutional adoption of digital assets as a legitimate asset class.
