Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Experience a Significant Recovery, Attracting Millions in Inflows

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States have experienced a significant recovery, attracting $475 million in inflows

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States experienced a significant recovery on Monday, attracting $475 million in inflows, which reversed a recent trend of withdrawals from the funds.

Bitcoin ETFs saw a total of 12 spot ETFs recording inflows, while two large-cap ETFs saw outflows. The inflows signaled a major shift in market sentiment, which had previously seen more than $1.5 billion leave the funds in a four-day stretch of outflows.

Fidelity’s FBTC led the way with remarkable inflows of $254.37 million, while ARK 21Shares’ ARKB also saw a strong performance, drawing $186.94 million. These two funds were the primary drivers of the overall recovery, highlighting the continued investor interest in Bitcoin-backed ETFs.

BlackRock’s IBIT fund contributed an additional $56.51 million to the inflows, reinforcing the positive trend. Smaller contributions came from Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust and VanEck’s HODL, which brought in $7.19 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Despite the overall positive movement, some outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC and Bitwise’s BITB offset the gains. These two funds experienced withdrawals of $24.23 million and $8.32 million, respectively. However, the inflows into the other funds were enough to keep the overall momentum positive.

The strong rebound in Bitcoin ETFs follows the four-day stretch of outflows that had raised concerns among investors. Over that period, more than $1.5 billion had been withdrawn from Bitcoin ETFs, leading many to question the sustainability of these investment products.

However, the recent influx of $475 million has reversed this trend, offering a sense of stability and optimism for the market. Bitcoin’s price, on the other hand, did not experience the same upward movement.

Despite the positive inflows into ETFs, Bitcoin saw a slight dip, trading down by 2.2% over the last 24 hours. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was priced at around $95,996 per coin. This price fluctuation reflects the ongoing volatility in the broader cryptocurrency market, where price movements can be unpredictable despite positive investor sentiment in ETFs.

Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs also joined in on the positive momentum, recording inflows of $117.09 million on the same day. This marked the third consecutive day of inflows for Ethereum ETFs, bringing the total over the past three days to more than $301 million.

Similar to Bitcoin ETFs, the majority of the inflows into Ethereum ETFs were directed toward Fidelity’s FETH, which attracted $82.96 million in inflows.

BlackRock’s ETHA fund also contributed significantly with $28.18 million in inflows, while Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust saw smaller inflows of $5.95 million. Despite these gains, the remaining six Ethereum ETFs saw no significant changes in their capital positions.

At the close of the day, Ethereum ETFs had a cumulative total of $2.63 billion in net inflows. Ethereum itself was trading at around $3,374, down by 1.9% in the past 24 hours. While the price of Ethereum saw some short-term fluctuations, the continued inflows into Ethereum ETFs suggested that institutional interest in the second-largest cryptocurrency is on the rise.

The recent rebound in Bitcoin ETFs is a clear indication that investor interest in these products remains strong, despite the occasional market volatility. Fidelity and ARK 21Shares, in particular, continue to attract significant capital, which underscores the growing confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term investment.

Ethereum’s performance in its ETFs further strengthens the view that cryptocurrencies as an asset class are becoming increasingly attractive to institutional investors. With both Bitcoin and Ethereum seeing strong inflows into their respective ETFs, the trend suggests that these investment products are gaining traction as a safer, more accessible way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency market.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the cryptocurrency market is still highly volatile. External factors such as regulatory developments, global economic conditions, and investor sentiment can all have a profound impact on both the price of cryptocurrencies and the performance of related financial products like ETFs.
