Half of the top 20 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launched in the United States since the start of 2024 are linked to digital assets – a clear sign of crypto’s surging appeal among investors.
ETF analyst, Nate Geraci, reports that more than 1,300 ETFs have been launched in this period, and crypto-linked products dominated the inflow rankings.
Leading the pack is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), with an eye-popping $57.4 billion in inflows.
Close behind, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) garnered $12.1 billion, while
The iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) amassed $9.6 billion.
Rounding out the top four is the YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) – an options-based strategy focused on MicroStrategy stock, known for its Bitcoin-heavy treasury – which saw $7.2 billion in inflows, despite not being a direct crypto fund.
#EthereumETFs are booming!
$726M in inflows in just 1 week has pushed $ETH past $3,400, its highest price since March 2024.
Institutional demand is surging – just like we saw with Bitcoin’s ETF rally earlier this year.

This dominance of crypto-linked ETFs among the most successful new launches underscores the mainstreaming of digital assets. As traditional investors increasingly seek regulated, easy-access exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum without directly holding them, these ETFs have become standout performers in the ETF product line-up.
