Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs are witnessing renewed inflows as institutional interest in crypto exposure continues to rise.
On Friday, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $642.35 million, marking the fifth consecutive day of gains, according to SoSoValue. This brought cumulative net inflows to $56.83 billion, with total net assets reaching $153.18 billion—around 6.62% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
Fidelity’s FBTC led the inflows with $315.18 million, followed by BlackRock’s IBIT at $264.71 million. Overall trading volumes across spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $3.89 billion, reflecting strong activity and growing institutional positioning. Market leaders IBIT and FBTC each posted daily gains above 2%.
The surge follows a slower start to the month, indicating improving sentiment as macroeconomic conditions stabilize and the crypto market demonstrates signs of resilience.
Ether ETFs Draw $405 Million in Inflows
Spot Ether ETFs followed Bitcoin’s bullish trend, attracting $405.55 million in daily net inflows on Friday, marking their fourth consecutive day of gains. Total inflows into Ether ETFs have now reached $13.36 billion, with net assets standing at $30.35 billion.
BlackRock’s ETHA led the inflows with $165.56 million, closely followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $168.23 million. ETHA alone recorded $1.86 billion in trading volume for the day, highlighting growing activity in Ethereum-based products.
“Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs continue to see strong inflows, reflecting rising institutional confidence,” said Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Taiwan-based Kronos Research. “If macro conditions remain stable, this momentum could boost liquidity and further drive both assets.”
BlackRock Explores ETF Tokenization
Following the success of its spot Bitcoin ETFs, BlackRock is reportedly looking into tokenizing ETFs on blockchain networks. The firm is particularly interested in tokenized funds tied to real-world assets (RWA), although regulatory challenges remain a significant obstacle.
Tokenized ETFs could enable new features, including 24/7 trading and seamless integration with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, potentially reshaping how institutional and retail investors access these products.
