Ethereum ETFs Fuel $1.5B Rally While Bitcoin Funds Bleed Outflows

Ethereum ETFs Attract $837M in 15 Days — Is Sentiment Shifting for Good?

Ethereum ETFs – Crypto investment products managed by major firms such as BlackRock, Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale, ProShares, and 21Shares recorded $286 million in net inflows globally last week, according to CoinShares. This marks the eighth consecutive week of net inflows, now totaling an impressive $11.3 billion. However, analysts note a slight slowdown in momentum due to investor caution ahead of key signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve on inflation and monetary policy.

Ethereum-Based Products Dominate for Second Week

Ethereum (ETH) investment products led inflows for the second week in a row, attracting $296.4 million and pushing their seven-week total to $1.5 billion. These inflows now represent 10.5% of global Ethereum fund AUM, according to CoinShares’ James Butterfill. He highlighted that this is the strongest run of inflows since the U.S. presidential election in November and reflects a clear sentiment shift among institutional investors.

The surge is largely driven by U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, which contributed $281.3 million of last week’s flows. Over the last 15 trading days, these ETFs have pulled in a total of $837.5 million, according to data from The Block.

Bitcoin-Based Products See Continued Outflows

In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) investment vehicles experienced their second straight week of outflows, totaling $56.5 million. Short-Bitcoin products also registered $4.1 million in outflows, indicating reduced interest in bearish exposure.

Altcoins and Regional Trends

Other altcoins saw mixed results. Sui-based products attracted $1.1 million, while XRP funds suffered a third week of outflows, totaling $6.6 million. Regionally, the U.S. led with $175 million in net inflows, followed by Germany ($47.8M), Switzerland ($15.7M), Canada ($9.8M), and Australia ($6.5M). In contrast, Brazil and Hong Kong posted minor net outflows of $9.2 million and $14.6 million, respectively.

While Ethereum’s momentum grows, broader market flows suggest investors remain cautious amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
