TL;DR
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $676 million in net inflows, extending a three-day streak of positive flows.
The rebound reflects a clear return of institutional appetite after the late-September correction and positioned BlackRock and Fidelity as the main recipients of capital in this segment of the crypto market.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) brought in $405 million in a single day, the highest figure in the market. The fund has accumulated $61.38 billion in net inflows since launch and manages $90.87 billion in assets, with a 0.25% fee. During the session it traded 57.8 million shares and generated $3.85 billion in volume, keeping it the most liquid and dominant spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S.
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) ranked second, attracting $179 million in daily inflows. The fund has now accumulated $12.46 billion in inflows and manages $24.12 billion in net assets, supported by a trading volume of $508 million.
Other players posted smaller but steady figures: Ark Invest’s ARKB added $5.86 million, reaching a total of $2.28 billion, while Grayscale’s new vehicle attracted $9.88 million. Even the long-standing GBTC, which has seen $24.13 billion in outflows since converting from a trust, managed a modest inflow of $9.22 million.
Bitcoin’s price responded positively to the inflows. At the time of publication, BTC was trading near $119,700 per coin, up 2.1% on the day.
Ethereum ETFs also attracted fresh capital, though on a smaller scale. ETH funds pulled in $80.9 million in net inflows, led by Fidelity’s FETH with $36.8 million and BlackRock’s ETHA with $26.2 million. VanEck contributed $14.3 million and Grayscale’s ETHE added $3.6 million, while other products saw no significant activity.
Ethereum also delivered a strong market performance, trading above $4,400, up 2.15% on the day. Its market cap reached $533 billion with $44.37 billion in 24-hour trading volume
