- Bitcoin ETFs gained $131M inflows, led by strong BlackRock IBIT demand.
- Ethereum ETFs recorded $5.65M outflows for the fourth consecutive trading day.
- Capital continues rotating toward Bitcoin ETFs amid stronger institutional interest.
Investor demand returned strongly to Bitcoin funds after a fresh wave of capital entered the market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $131.30 million in net inflows on Thursday, reversing earlier outflows and restoring positive momentum. BlackRock led the charge with a dominant performance that outweighed smaller withdrawals from competing issuers. Meanwhile, Ethereum funds moved in the opposite direction, extending their losing streak with continued redemptions across multiple sessions. Market sentiment clearly tilted toward Bitcoin exposure through regulated products.
BlackRock Leads the Charge in ETF Demand
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust drove most of the activity with $144 million in net inflows. That strong intake helped offset minor outflows from other issuers during the same session. The result left the broader Bitcoin ETF category firmly in positive territory for the day. IBIT continues to dominate the segment with more than $64 billion in assets under management. Daily trading volume also exceeds $2 billion, reinforcing deep liquidity and strong investor participation.
These figures keep IBIT positioned as the leading spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund holds the second position with $14.16 billion in assets. However, the gap between Fidelity and BlackRock remains wide. Capital continues to concentrate heavily around IBIT, showing strong brand and liquidity preference among institutional allocators. Across the entire market, spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold $105.51 billion in total net assets. Since launch in early 2024, cumulative inflows have reached $59.06 billion.
That steady accumulation signals long-term confidence in Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial products. Thursday’s inflow reversal also highlights renewed investor appetite after recent volatility. Capital rotation back into Bitcoin suggests improving risk sentiment across digital assets. Market participants appear more willing to re-enter after short-term uncertainty.
Ethereum ETFs Extend Outflow Streak as Capital Rotates
Ethereum-based ETFs continued to struggle with demand on Thursday. Total net outflows reached $5.65 million, marking the fourth straight day of withdrawals. This pattern contrasts sharply with Bitcoin ETF performance during the same period. Investors reduced exposure through regulated Ethereum funds while reallocating toward Bitcoin products. That divergence signals a clear preference shift among institutional and retail participants.
Ethereum funds failed to attract new inflows despite broader market activity. The sustained outflow streak reflects cautious positioning around Ethereum exposure. Market data shows consistent redemption pressure across multiple sessions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin funds attracted fresh allocations, widening the performance gap between both asset classes. Bitcoin ETFs now dominate the digital asset fund landscape in the United States.
Strong inflows into IBIT continue to anchor overall market growth. Total assets above $105 billion confirm rising adoption of regulated Bitcoin investment vehicles. Cumulative inflows of $59.06 billion since early 2024 reinforce steady institutional participation. High trading volumes and consistent demand strengthen Bitcoin’s position in ETF markets.
