- Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in the U.S. posted their second-largest daily inflows on Thursday.
- Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.17 billion in inflows, mainly from BlackRock and Fidelity.
- Ether spot ETFs attracted $383.1 million, with BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF leading the gains.
- ETF inflows continue despite some large financial platforms restricting access to these products.
- Investor demand for Bitcoin and Ether ETFs exceeded the daily issuance of both cryptocurrencies.
Investors contributed large sums to U.S.-based Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Thursday, marking the second-highest daily inflows for these products since their launch. These funds allow investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrency performance without directly owning digital coins.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs received $1.17 billion in new funds, with $448 million going to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and $324 million to Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, according to Farside Investors. Bitcoin’s price surpassed $113,800 during this surge. The inflows rank second after the $1.37 billion recorded on November 7, 2024, following the U.S. presidential election.
Ether spot ETFs saw net inflows of $383.1 million, their second-largest single-day total. The majority came from BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), which reported $300.9 million—its highest daily net inflow, based on Farside Investors data.
“Major platforms such as Vanguard are still gatekeeping these ETFs,” said Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, in a post on X. He noted that strong inflows occurred even as some traditional financial advisers remain hesitant to offer these funds.
Recent data shows that both Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs are absorbing more cryptocurrency than is newly issued each day. Over the past 24 hours, Ether’s net issuance stood at around 2,110 ETH (about $6.3 million), according to Ultra Sound Money, while spot ETFs drew much more. Bitcoin ETFs and Strategy have collectively bought $28.2 billion worth of Bitcoin so far in 2025, while new Bitcoin mined in the year totals $7.85 billion, according to Galaxy Research.
These increased inflows come as both cryptocurrencies continue to set new records, indicating strong investor interest despite some remaining platform restrictions.
