Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. experienced a turnaround, recording their first inflow in over a week after a challenging period of redemptions.
As reported by Coinperps data, these products collectively attracted $219 million on August 25, indicating a shift in investor sentiment following six consecutive sessions of withdrawals.
This surge was primarily driven by Fidelity, BlackRock, and Ark 21Shares, each bringing in over $60 million. Fidelity’s FBTC garnered the highest daily intake at $65.6 million, closely followed by BlackRock’s IBIT with $63.4 million and Ark’s ARKB with $61.2 million.
Smaller inflows were noted for Bitwise’s BITB ($15.2 million), Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ($7.3 million), and VanEck’s HODL ($6.3 million). On the other hand, ETFs from Invesco, Valkyrie, WisdomTree, and Franklin Templeton saw no new capital for the day.
The arrival of positive flows comes after a rough patch in mid-August. Between August 15 and 22, the group lost approximately $1.2 billion, reflecting a trend of profit-taking and caution among institutional investors.
This reversal suggests that some investors are recognizing renewed opportunities in Bitcoin, despite its recent loss of momentum.
Ethereum ETFs Outperform Bitcoin
In contrast, Ethereum products continue to outshine Bitcoin ETFs in terms of investor interest.
On the same day, spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $443.9 million, more than twice the amount received by BTC products.
BlackRock’s ETHA led the pack with $314.9 million, while Fidelity’s FETH attracted $87.4 million. Bitwise, 21Shares, and Invesco contributed around $17 million combined through Grayscale’s Mini Ethereum Trust.
This strong performance follows a turbulent week when Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows equivalent to 105,000 ETH, breaking a multi-week trend of consistent demand. According to Glassnode data, the trend has shifted again, as institutions added back 16,900 ETH at the start of this week.
The divergence in flows illustrates how investor positioning is adapting to current market dynamics. While Bitcoin ETFs are beginning to stabilize after significant redemptions, Ethereum funds are gaining stronger traction in the short term.
