Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Log Strong Inflows Despite Broad Market Mixed Signals

Crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) momentum held strong last week as bitcoin ETFs closed with $603.74 million in net inflows, marking the 5th consecutive week of gains.

Crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) momentum remained strong last week as bitcoin ETFs closed with $603.74 million in net inflows, continuing a fifth straight week of gains. The highlight came on Wednesday, May 14, with a $319.56 million single-day inflow.

Among individual funds, Blackrock’s IBIT led the way massively with a dominant $841.76 million inflow, outpacing all others by a wide margin. Other top performers included Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust with an additional inflow of $39.84 million and Vaneck’s HODL posting inflows of $7.32 million.

On the flip side, Fidelity’s FBTC saw outflows of $122.07 million, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC with outflows of $72 million and ARKB registering outflows of $68.91 million.

Despite mixed action across individual funds, bitcoin ETF flows continued to signal investor confidence, pushing total net assets to $122.67 billion.

Meanwhile, ether ETFs also joined the rally, posting an inflow of $41.59 million for the week. The highlight came on Wednesday, May 14, with a noteworthy single-day inflow of $63.47 million.

Among ether ETFs, Blackrock’s ETHA took the lead with an impressive inflow of $66.04 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust also saw strong inflows of $15.91 million, Franklin’s EZET posted inflows of $3.06 million, and Vaneck’s ETHV had inflows of $2.95 million.

However, outflows on Fidelity’s FETH, amounting to $20.16 million, and Grayscale’s ETHE, registering outflows of $26.22 million, slightly dampened the gains.

Both asset classes are managing to hold investor attention despite mixed action across individual funds. Moreover, with bitcoin ETFs notching a fifth week of net inflows, it appears that the appetite for institutional crypto exposure is anything but waning.
