U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs return to net inflows, adding $181 million and $58 million Tuesday

U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds swung back to net inflows on Tuesday after a heavy round of redemptions in the prior session, CoinDesk reported, as crypto prices rebounded and boosted daily performance. Data from SoSoValue show spot Bitcoin ETFs took in about $181 million, reversing roughly $425 million of net outflows the day before. Spot Ethereum ETFs posted net inflows of about $58 million. Within Bitcoin products, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) drew about $139 million, making up nearly all of the day's net additions. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) added about $21 million. No spot Bitcoin ETF recorded net outflows on the day. On the Ethereum side, BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) accounted for the entire increase, bringing in about $58 million, while other funds were unchanged. The inflows coincided with strong price-driven gains. Bitcoin ETFs rose nearly 4% on the day, while Ethereum ETFs advanced about 6%, among the strongest single-day performances in recent weeks. With both price gains and new money, total assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs climbed from roughly $75 billion to about $78 billion. Ethereum ETF assets moved above $10 billion. Even so, flows have remained choppy since July, with Bitcoin ETFs frequently alternating between inflows and outflows across recent trading days, suggesting institutions are still adjusting near-term positioning.
