Bitcoin News Today: Investors Flock to Ethereum as Bitcoin ETFs Lose Steam

Investors seeking major returns in the cryptocurrency market are increasingly turning to strategic buying opportunities during price dips, with several assets currently standing out for their potential. Among these, MAGACOIN FINANCE has attracted significant attention, with analysts forecasting a potential 40x upside as retail and institutional investors look to capitalize on the next potential meme coin surge. The token is drawing comparisons to Pepe, which saw explosive growth in its early days. With growing online chatter and a strong sense of FOMO (fear of missing out), MAGACOIN is being positioned as more than a fleeting trend, especially with HBAR and Solana also drawing interest in 2025 [1].

HBAR, the native token of the Hedera Hashgraph platform, is showing a slower but more methodical ascent. Currently trading between $0.23 and $0.25, forecasts for 2025 suggest it could reach $0.2785, offering a 16% return on investment if the trend continues. Looking further ahead, analysts expect HBAR to reach $0.39 by 2026 and potentially even touch the $0.8 to $1.0 range by 2029. This makes it an appealing choice for long-term investors who favor steady growth over short-term volatility [1].

Solana (SOL), another key player, has also seen fluctuations in recent weeks, trading near $180 after reaching highs around $189. Despite the dip, it remains above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, a positive sign for many market observers. Historical price swings have ranged from lows near $96 to highs of $294, and analysts are watching closely to see if Solana can reclaim its previous momentum. With growing adoption and robust use cases, SOL continues to be a top priority for traders [1].

Institutional investment activity has also shifted in favor of Ethereum in recent days, with Ethereum spot ETFs seeing significantly higher inflows than Bitcoin ETFs. On August 25, Ethereum ETFs pulled in $443.9 million in net inflows, nearly twice the $219 million that Bitcoin ETFs attracted on the same day. BlackRock’s ETHA led the charge, collecting $314.9 million alone, while Fidelity’s FETH added $87.4 million. This marked the highest daily inflow for Ethereum ETFs since their launch and contributed to a cumulative inflow of nearly $13 billion since their debut earlier this year [2].

Despite this strong institutional support for Ethereum, the broader altcoin market remains under pressure. Global crypto ETPs, including those tracking Bitcoin and Ethereum, experienced a significant outflow of $1.43 billion last week, marking the largest since March 2025. This outflow was attributed to “increasingly polarized” investor sentiment surrounding U.S. monetary policy, with pessimism around the Federal Reserve’s stance driving much of the redemptions. However, sentiment shifted slightly later in the week following a more dovish-than-expected speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium, which sparked a $594 million inflow [3].

The week’s outflows were particularly pronounced for Bitcoin ETPs, which saw over $1 billion withdrawn, compared to $2.5 billion in inflows for Ethereum. This trend was further reflected in the month-to-date data, with Ethereum’s inflows representing 26% of its total assets under management, compared to just 11% for Bitcoin. While Bitcoin ETFs ended a six-day outflow streak on Monday with a $219 million inflow, the broader market remains cautious, with many investors waiting for a clearer macroeconomic signal before committing capital [4].
