$2.4 billion inflow into Bitcoin ETFs in 8 days: signal of slowing down Ethereum ETF
BlackRock and Fidelity continue to lead
BlackRock’s IBIT fund led the way with a net inflow of $278.9 million on Wednesday alone, while Fidelity’s FBTC fund raised $104.4 million on the same day.
Bitwise’s BITB, Grayscale’s BTC Mini, and Hashdex’s Defi Funds saw inflows of $11.3 million, $10.1 million and $1.2 million respectively, while Grayscale’s luxury GBTC fund stood out with a single net flow of $16.4 million.
Over the course of eight days, 96% of the total inflow of IBIT funds was made, raising $2.3 billion in investments during this period. “There has been a $11.5 billion inflow to Bitcoin ETFs so far in 2025. This is the second year. Is there still no demand?” In a statement on social media platform X, ETF store president Nate Geraci said.
Since its debut in January 2024, the net inflow into US spot Bitcoin ETFs has totaled $46.9 billion. These funds currently manage approximately $125 billion in assets.
On the Ethereum side there is a gentle picture. The Spot Ethereum ETF had a total net inflow of $19.1 million on Wednesday. $15.1 million of this influx has been added to BlackRock’s ETHA Fund. The slowdown in flow is notable after the Ethereum ETF’s record 19-day inflow streak that ended last week.
Bitcoin ETF saw over $3.8 billion inflows over the same 19 days. The total net inflow of Ethereum ETFs is currently at $3.9 billion.
BRN research analyst Valentin Fournier commented on the slowing down institutional interest in Ethereum.
“The data suggests that agencies maintain a bullish mid-term perspective on crypto, but it appears that Ethereum’s catch-up phase is over.”
Macro Uncertainty Pressure Market
Bitcoin is currently down 0.3% over the past 24 hours, trading at 2.5% last week at $104,810, while Ethereum fell 8.3% over the same period to $2,527.
Although FOMC was expected to maintain interest rates without changing, the statement gained a more hawkish tone. “Bitcoin is above $100,000, but it has not been able to break the resistance level. A retest of $102,000 support appears likely,” Fournier said.
Long-term investment stories are getting stronger
21 share Crypto Investments expert David Hernandez painted a more optimistic photo.
“As trust in soft landings fades and global financial imbalances grow, the rarity, diversification and neutrality of Bitcoin becomes an increasingly attractive asset for investors tackling uncertainty.”
“Bitcoin has established a permanent foothold above the $100,000 level. Its resilience to geopolitical shocks further strengthens its position in the world of investment.”
