ETF Inflows Signal Renewed Confidence as Bitcoin and Ether Products See Billions in Activity
Momentum continued for crypto ETFs last week, as both bitcoin and ether funds saw strong inflows that underscored deepening institutional confidence. From Sept. 15 to 19, bitcoin ETFs attracted $886.65 million while ether ETFs brought in $556.92 million.
Bitcoin ETFs
It was a green week for bitcoin ETFs, though not without turbulence. Blackrock’s IBIT powered ahead with $866.84 million in inflows, followed by Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust with $39.59 million and Fidelity’s FBTC at $34.62 million. Ark 21Shares’ ARKB secured $33.39 million, Vaneck’s HODL added $14.07 million, and Franklin’s EZBC brought in $10.14 million. Invesco’s BTCO rounded out with $3.51 million.
The drag came from Grayscale’s GBTC and Bitwise’s BITB, which saw a sharp -$86.14 million and -$29.39 million exits for the week. Even with that weight, the week’s total inflow for bitcoin ETFs stood at a robust $886.65 million for a fourth week of consecutive net gains. Value traded peaked at $4.24 billion midweek, while total net assets closed Friday at $152.31 billion.
Ether ETFs
Ether ETFs followed a bumpier path but still managed a strong showing. Blackrock’s ETHA stole the spotlight with a commanding $513.01 million inflow. Other funds added steady gains: Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust ($17.99 million), Fidelity’s FETH ($15.18 million), Grayscale’s ETHE ($13.60 million), Bitwise’s ETHW ($7.52 million), and Franklin’s EZET ($3.49 million). Vaneck’s ETHV, however, offset momentum with an -$8.16 million outflow along with net weekly outflows for 21Shares’ TETH (-$3.99 million) and Invesco’s QETH (-$1.73 million)
That collective push brought ether ETFs to $556.92 million weekly inflow, despite multiple outflow days. Total value traded across the week was $8.9 billion, with assets rising to $29.64 billion.
Closing Take
This week’s flows make one trend clear: Blackrock’s ETF dominance is deepening. Both IBIT and ETHA consistently drew the lion’s share of institutional capital, overshadowing exits elsewhere. With consecutive weeks of rising trading activity, the ETF race is not just heating up; it is consolidating around a few clear leaders.
