Ether ETFs finished the week on a high note with $453 million in inflows, continuing their record-breaking streak. Bitcoin ETFs also stayed in the green, adding $131 million despite a major GBTC outflow.
Crypto ETF Flows Favor Ether ETFs as Bitcoin ETFs Stay Positive
The week ended with a bang for ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while bitcoin ETFs managed to hold their ground. Ether ETFs extended their remarkable green streak to 16 straight sessions, pulling in $452.72 million on Friday, while bitcoin ETFs added $130.69 million despite a hefty outflow from Grayscale’s GBTC.
Ether ETFs remained the clear leader for the umpteenth time this week. Blackrock’s ETHA dominated inflows with a massive $440.10 million, overshadowing the $23.49 million outflow from Grayscale’s ETHE. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust added $18.87 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW and Fidelity’s FETH chipped in $9.95 million and $7.30 million, respectively.
The total traded value was $1.50 billion, pushing ether ETFs’ net assets to $20.66 billion, underscoring their growing market influence.

For bitcoin ETFs, 6 funds saw inflows. Blackrock’s IBIT once again topped the charts with $92.83 million, while Ark 21Shares’ ARKB added $30.27 million. Bitwise’s BITB brought in $20.96 million, and Vaneck’s HODL contributed $18.16 million.
Smaller entries came from Fidelity’s FBTC ($10.19 million) and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ($8.79 million). The day’s momentum was partially offset by a $50.50 million outflow from GBTC, but strong inflows kept bitcoin ETFs positive overall. Total trading activity hit $4.45 billion, with net assets steady at $151.45 billion.
With ether ETFs now consistently pulling in hundreds of millions daily and bitcoin ETFs holding resilience, the question becomes: is institutional preference shifting more toward Ethereum?
