Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Continue Winning Streak

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) continue to attract significant inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with BTC attracting inflows for 10 days straight and ETH following suit for 13 days.

BTC spot ETFs have received inflows exceeding $4 billion over the past 10 days, with the 12 U.S. BTC ETFs collectively attracting $233 million on Dec. 11 alone, according to SoSo Value data. Meanwhile, ETH spot ETFs have maintained their momentum, amassing more than $1.9 billion in inflows over the past 13 days, including $102 million on Dec. 11.

The consistent inflows into BTC and ETH spot ETFs underscore growing investor confidence in the long-term potential of cryptocurrencies, driven by increasing institutional adoption and market optimism, experts say.

“The sustained inflows into BTC and ETH ETFs highlight a pivotal moment in the maturation of the digital asset market,” said Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance. “These inflows are driven by a combination of factors, including heightened investor confidence in crypto as a long-term asset class, the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty pushing institutional players to diversify into alternative assets, and the increasing accessibility provided by ETFs as a gateway for traditional market participants.”

Fidelity Leads BTC Spot ETF Inflows

Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for the largest share of BTC ETF inflows on Dec. 11, bringing in $122 million. Significant contributions also came from ARK and 21Shares’ ARKB fund, which received $53 million in inflows, and Grayscale’s GBTC, which added $20 million.

Meanwhile, BlackRock’s IBIT, which has received a net total of $35 billion in inflows, remained flat on Dec. 11.

BlackRock Dominates ETH Spot ETFs

BlackRock’s ETHA fund led Ethereum ETF inflows on Dec. 11, receiving $74 million.

Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust followed with $13.4 million. Additional contributions came from Bitwise’s ETHW with $8.2 million, VanEck’s ETHV at $5.6 million, and Franklin Templeton’s EZET, which attracted $2.9 million. The Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) experienced outflows of $2.26 million.

Experts believe this ongoing surge in inflows can also be attributed to several key developments, including the pro-crypto stance of the Trump administration.

“The appointment of David Sacks as the AI and Crypto Czar by President-elect Donald Trump has instilled a sense of optimism among investors, as his pro-crypto stance promises a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets, which is believed to have directly influenced the ETF inflows,” said Alan Orwick, a co-founder at the Quai Network.

“Additionally, Trump's World Liberty project's strategic purchase of AAVE tokens has signaled strong institutional backing for ETH-based assets, further boosting investor confidence in ETH ETFs,” Orwick added.
