Ether ETFs Lead Weekly U.S. Crypto Fund Inflows as Bitcoin Products Recover

Ether Outpaces Bitcoin

Ether ETFs recorded $105.44 million in net inflows over the five-day stretch, ahead of bitcoin ETFs, which brought in $75.67 million. The weekly result marked a reversal from the early-week weakness that hit the broader crypto ETF segment and left ether funds as the strongest category for the period.

The source article says ether ETFs added roughly $105 million during the week, enough to overtake bitcoin funds in weekly inflows. It also described smaller-token products as more mixed, rather than moving in a single direction.

Bitcoin Funds Recover After Monday Drop

Bitcoin ETFs began the week with a significant setback, including a reported $425 million in outflows on Monday. Inflows over the following days offset that decline and pushed the category back into positive territory by the end of the week.

The recovery was led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, IBIT, which posted $204.1 million in net inflows for the week. Friday’s activity was described as especially concentrated in IBIT, helping secure a positive weekly finish for the bitcoin ETF segment.

Other funds also contributed to the rebound, including Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust and additional products not individually detailed in the source material. At the same time, losses in other major vehicles limited the scale of the recovery.

Sharp Differences Among Issuers

The week’s data showed a clear split between individual funds. While IBIT attracted more than $204 million, Fidelity’s FBTC recorded $181.1 million in net outflows. The source article also said outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC weighed on the overall bitcoin ETF total.

That divergence among major issuers meant headline gains for the category masked substantial internal variation. Even with strong contributions from some products, large withdrawals from others constrained the net result.

Smaller Crypto ETF Categories Mixed

Beyond bitcoin and ether, the week was more fragmented across other crypto ETF segments. HYPE ETFs posted $7.26 million in weekly net outflows, making them one of the weaker categories in the period covered.

By contrast, XRP and Solana funds registered modest inflows, according to the source article. No larger totals were provided for those categories, but the data suggested selective demand outside the two biggest crypto ETF groupings.

Overall, the week ended with both bitcoin and ether ETFs in the green after a volatile start, though the source article noted that the month’s broader trend remained softer. The period stood out for ether’s lead over bitcoin in weekly inflows and for the sharp contrast between BlackRock’s gains and Fidelity’s withdrawals within the bitcoin ETF market.
