Despite a broader crypto market slump, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are demonstrating surprising strength, with institutional demand remaining robust.
Ethereum ETFs Maintain Strong Momentum
Ethereum ETFs continue to defy the market downturn, attracting significant investor capital. Data from SoSoValue reveals that nine U.S.-listed Ethereum funds saw inflows of roughly $444 million on August 25 alone. BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck spearheaded the activity, helping these ETFs achieve a three-day inflow streak totaling $1.07 billion—a sharp reversal from the $866.5 million in losses recorded between August 18 and 20.
Bitcoin ETFs Rebound After Heavy Outflows
Bitcoin ETFs have also shown signs of resilience. After enduring six consecutive days of outflows amounting to around $1.2 billion, August 25 brought a net inflow of $219 million, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, and Ark Invest’s ARKB.
Institutional Confidence Defies Price Weakness
This ETF strength comes even as prices decline. Bitcoin is currently trading near $110,140—down about 4% over the week and more than 11% below its all-time high. Ethereum, holding around $4,400, is off nearly 11% from its peak. Analysts cite profit-taking by major holders as a primary driver behind the downturn.
Still, with billions of dollars locked in these ETFs, institutional confidence appears intact. Analysts suggest that sustained inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs could provide critical support for future price recovery, even as short-term volatility persists.
