$2.4 Billion Inflow into Bitcoin ETFs in 8 Days: Slowdown Signals in Ethereum ETFs

BlackRock and Fidelity Continue Their Leadership

BlackRock's IBIT fund led the way with a net inflow of $278.9 million on Wednesday. Fidelity's FBTC fund raised $104.4 million on the same day.

Bitwise's BITB, Grayscale's BTC Mini product, and Hashdex's DEFI funds received inflows of $11.3 million, $10.1 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. Grayscale's high-fee GBTC fund stood out with a single net outflow of $16.4 million.

In the 8-day period, 96% of the total inflows were made to the IBIT fund, which attracted $2.3 billion in investments during this time. In a statement on social media platform X, Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, said, "There have been $11.5 billion in inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs so far in 2025. This is the second year. Is there still no demand?" he said, emphasizing corporate interest.

Since their launch in January 2024, there has been a total net inflow of $46.9 billion into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, and these funds currently manage approximately $125 billion in assets.

On the Ethereum side, however, the picture is calmer. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw a total net inflow of $19.1 million on Wednesday. Of this inflow, $15.1 million was made into BlackRock's ETHA fund. Following a record inflow series of $1.4 billion into Ethereum ETFs over the 19 days ending last week, a slowdown in the flows is noteworthy.

During the same 19-day period, Bitcoin ETFs received inflows of over 3.8 billion dollars. The total net inflow of Ethereum ETFs is currently around 3.9 billion dollars.

BRN Research Analyst Valentin Fournier said the following about the slowdown in institutional interest towards Ethereum:

"Data shows that institutions maintain a medium-term bullish perspective on crypto, but the catch-up phase in Ethereum seems to have come to an end."

Macro Uncertainties Weighing on the Market

Bitcoin is currently trading at $104,810; this means a loss of 0.3% in the last 24 hours and 2.5% in the last week. Ethereum, on the other hand, fell to $2,527 with a decrease of 8.3% during the same period.

The FOMC was expected not to change interest rates, but the statements had a more hawkish tone. Fournier said, "Bitcoin is holding above $100,000 but is unable to break resistance levels. It seems likely that the $102,000 support will be retested."

Long-Term Investment Story Strengthens

21Shares Crypto Investments Expert David Hernandez painted a more optimistic picture:

"With the decline in confidence in a soft landing and the increase in global financial imbalances, Bitcoin's scarcity, decentralization, and neutrality are making it an increasingly attractive asset for investors grappling with uncertainty."

"Bitcoin has established a permanent place above the 100,000 dollar level. Its resistance to geopolitical shocks further solidifies its position in the investment world."
