Key Figures

On September 19, US Spot ETF funds again showed strong capital inflows:

  • Bitcoin: +1,900 BTC (~$223 million)

  • Ethereum: +10,420 ETH (~$48 million)

At first glance, the dollar amount for Bitcoin is significantly higher, but in relative terms, this is also a significant result for Ethereum.

What is behind these flows

#bitcoin

An inflow of almost a quarter of a billion dollars underscores the preservation of the dominant status $BTC as the main 'anchor' of the crypto market. For institutions, Bitcoin remains the digital equivalent of gold, and the ETF instrument is a convenient way to build positions without direct purchase and storage of coins.

#Ethereum

Although the dollar amount is smaller, the amount of incoming ETH reflects the growing interest in the Ethereum ecosystem. This is facilitated by:

  • development of the DeFi and stablecoin segment,

  • active tokenization of assets based on ETH,

  • expectations around the possible expansion of the Ethereum ETF lineup.

Signals for investors

  1. Institutional demand is alive. Despite volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty, large funds continue to increase exposure.

  2. Diversification. If the focus was previously almost entirely on BTC, a more balanced strategy is now noticeable: Bitcoin as 'digital gold', Ethereum as an infrastructure bet for the future #Web3 .

  3. Strengthening positions $ETH . In the long term, Ethereum is gradually establishing itself as 'alternative No. 1', and such flows only confirm the trend.

Possible consequences

  • For BTC: new inflows into the ETF may support the price, acting as a buffer against sales in the spot market.

  • For ETH: ongoing institutional interest may accelerate growth, especially if the SEC expands approval of Ethereum-based products.

  • For the market as a whole: such reports increase investor confidence in cryptocurrencies as an asset class.

Summary

September 19 became yet another day when institutional money votes for cryptocurrencies. BTC strengthens its status as a reliable asset, while ETH confirms its role as a key infrastructure of the digital economy.

For the individual investor, this is a signal: 'smart money' continues to enter the market, and the strategy of diversification between BTC and ETH remains relevant.
