Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attract record inflows as crypto market heats up

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are seeing massive inflows as investor confidence in crypto products reaches new highs.

On Thursday alone, over $1 billion poured into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This marks the highest single-day combined inflow in five months. The surge reflects renewed interest in crypto as a mainstream investment tool.

Leading the charge, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) pulled in $877 million. This is the fund’s third-largest daily inflow ever. With over $41 billion in total inflows since January 2024, IBIT remains the top performer among crypto ETFs. Bitcoin-focused funds, in total, received $935 million on Thursday.

Ethereum ETFs also gained serious traction. They received over $110 million, led by Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and Fidelity Ethereum Trust (FETH). Each attracted over $40 million, a strong signal that Ethereum is catching up with Bitcoin in investor appeal.

BlackRock’s IBIT leads the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs inflow rally

Bitcoin’s recent rally is another major factor behind these inflows. After falling below $75,000 in April, Bitcoin surged 48% in just weeks. On Thursday, it reached a new all-time high of $111,814.

Many investors now view Bitcoin as a safe haven asset. This shift comes amid easing inflation data and reduced trade war fears. Macroeconomic uncertainty continues, but Bitcoin’s appeal as digital gold appears to be growing.

IBIT alone added more than $1.9 billion just this week. It’s the third week in the past month that IBIT surpassed the $1 billion mark. The second-best performer, Fidelity’s FBTC, trails far behind with about a quarter of IBIT’s total.

ANOTHER MUST-WATCH ON ICN.LIVE:

Ethereum is gaining ground with strong ETF demand

Ethereum’s price performance has also turned heads. While it trailed Bitcoin earlier in the year, its recent gains outpaced the broader market. Over the last 30 days, Ethereum is up more than 46%, trading near $2,565.

The iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) has brought in over $4.3 billion in net inflows, more than double its closest rival. Although Grayscale’s ETHE has suffered heavy outflows, its early lead and brand recognition still make it a major player.

Eight Ethereum-focused ETFs are currently live. Despite competition, the overall trend shows institutional investors are increasingly diversifying into Ethereum alongside Bitcoin.

What are Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs?

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are exchange-traded funds that allow investors to gain exposure to these cryptocurrencies without directly holding them. Instead, these funds track the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum, making them easier to buy and sell through traditional brokerage accounts. ETFs provide institutional-grade access and reduce the complexity of crypto wallets, private keys, and security concerns.

Why are Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs seeing such large inflows?

The massive inflows are largely driven by strong market performance, macroeconomic shifts, and growing institutional interest. Investors are viewing Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and uncertainty. Meanwhile, Ethereum is gaining traction for its smart contract capabilities and decentralized finance applications. The accessibility of ETFs makes them a preferred route for traditional investors looking to enter the crypto space.

Is BlackRock’s IBIT the best Bitcoin ETF?

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is currently the leading Bitcoin ETF in terms of inflows and popularity. With over $41 billion in assets since launching in January 2024, IBIT has established itself as a market leader. Its performance, branding, and low fees have made it a top choice for investors seeking Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial instruments.

Can Ethereum ETFs outperform Bitcoin ETFs?

While Bitcoin ETFs lead in total inflows, Ethereum ETFs are gaining ground fast. Ethereum has shown strong price growth recently and offers use cases beyond store-of-value. With increased interest in decentralized apps and NFTs, Ethereum could attract more institutional capital. However, Bitcoin’s status as the original cryptocurrency keeps it firmly ahead for now in terms of investor trust and market capitalization.
