Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit $118M as Ether Adds $31M

Bitcoin ETFs recorded a second straight day of net inflows, totaling about $117.63M, with no outflows reported. BlackRock’s IBIT led with a $98.42M inflow, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC at $16.24M. Smaller inflows came from Bitwise’s BITB ($1.84M) and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB ($1.13M). ETF trading volume rose to $3.11B, and total net assets increased to $87.46B. Ether ETFs also flipped broadly positive, with net inflows of about $31.17M and no outflows. BlackRock’s ETHA led after a long outflow stretch, adding $24.70M. Other winners included 21Shares TETH ($2.62M), Fidelity FETH ($1.57M), Bitwise ETHW ($1.20M), and BlackRock ETHB ($1.08M). Ether ETF trading activity was $1.03B and net assets rose to $11.98B. In contrast, XRP and Solana ETFs saw no recorded trading activity in the session, leaving net assets at $943.73M (XRP) and $805.84M (SOL). The lack of activity suggests investors are still selective, concentrating demand in BTC and ETH ETFs rather than the full crypto ETF complex. For traders, the Bitcoin ETFs and Ether ETFs improvement is a near-term positive for ETF-linked flows, but the uneven participation across alts like XRP and SOL signals cautious risk appetite.
Bullish
Bitcoin ETFs and Ether ETFs both turned decisively positive again, extending inflow momentum (about $117.63M for BTC and $31.17M for ETH) with no outflows recorded. This typically supports near-term risk sentiment and can help stabilize spot and futures pricing through improved ETF demand. The latest update also strengthens the earlier “rebuilding positions cautiously” theme: the rebound is no longer just a one-off day—it persists into a second session, with IBIT particularly leading. However, the session’s lack of activity in XRP and Solana ETFs indicates capital is still being allocated selectively rather than broadly across the altcoin complex. That limits upside spillover into non-BTC/ETH markets and suggests rallies in alts may remain fragile. Overall, the direct impact on BTC and ETH price action is expected to be positive in the short term, while longer-term conviction still depends on whether this inflow pattern expands beyond the majors.
