ETH ETFs Outperform BTC With Record Institutional Inflows
Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed in the U.S. attracted $455 million in net inflows on Tuesday, marking the fourth consecutive day of positive momentum and reinforcing growing institutional appetite for ETH over BTC.
BlackRock and Fidelity Lead the Charge
According to data from SoSoValue, BlackRock’s ETHA led the surge with $323 million in net inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $85.5 million. Other funds like Grayscale’s ETHE and Mini Ethereum Trust also posted positive flows, reflecting broad-based investor interest.
In contrast, spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $88.2 million in total daily inflows across six different funds. While still positive, it’s a fraction of Ethereum’s daily total, continuing a trend seen earlier this week when ETH ETFs doubled Bitcoin ETF inflows.
A Shift in Institutional Preference?
Analysts say this shift may signal more than just short-term investor sentiment. Nick Ruck, Research Director at LVRG, told The Block that the data points to a “significant rotational shift” in institutional portfolios.
“Ethereum’s yield-generating capabilities, regulatory clarity, and increasing adoption by corporate treasuries are driving this trend,” Ruck noted.
Crypto Markets Rebound Midweek
Despite a shaky start to the week, broader crypto markets showed signs of recovery by Wednesday morning. Bitcoin rose 0.58% in 24 hours to $110,822, while Ethereum gained 3.37% to reach $4,570, according to The Block’s price data. Major altcoins followed suit, posting moderate gains.
Overall, continued inflows into both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs signal that institutional confidence in the two largest cryptocurrencies remains intact, despite short-term price fluctuations.
