Investor appetite for crypto ETFs is surging again, with impressive capital inflows marking a bullish shift. Both Bitcoin and Ether funds ended the week in the green with no recorded outflows. Institutional players appear to be doubling down on digital assets.
Institutional capital flows into crypto ETFs
Last week, crypto ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of over $282 million. Bitcoin ETFs took the lion’s share, attracting $260 million in fresh capital. BlackRock’s IBIT led the pack with $129.7 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $67.9 million.

Notably, no Bitcoin ETF reported outflows, reflecting growing investor confidence. Trading volume reached a solid $2.7 billion, while total fund assets climbed to $122.67 billion. Even Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust, often criticized for its fee structure, saw an inflow of $4.6 million.
Ether ETFs also outperformed expectations with a net inflow of $22 million and zero outflows. Fidelity’s FETH topped the list with $13.57 million, followed by Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust at $8.55 million. Total assets under management for Ether ETFs now stand at $8.97 billion.
Market sentiment around crypto ETFs turns bullish
The broad-based inflow into both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs signals a positive shift in market sentiment. Despite ongoing volatility, investors are increasingly turning to regulated instruments like ETFs for crypto exposure. The lack of any outflows across the board reinforces this trend.
Looking ahead, the strong inflows could put additional pressure on regulators to approve pending applications, including spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. The data clearly show that demand for crypto exposure through institutional-grade products is maturing.
