FameEX Hot Topics | Bitcoin ETFs Bounce Back with $446 Million Inflows While Ether ETFs Lose Ground

Last week’s cryptocurrency ETF flows revealed a sharp divide: Bitcoin funds roared back with $446 million in net inflows, erasing the previous week’s $1.2 billion deficit and restoring investor faith. Ethereum ETFs, meanwhile, bled $244 million, prolonging a streak of redemptions driven by lingering caution.

Bitcoin’s resurgence was powered by key players. Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB led with $53.97 million, capitalizing on midweek strength. Fidelity’s FBTC added $52.40 million, while Bitwise’s BITB and VanEck’s HODL secured $39.55 million and $38.57 million, respectively. These inflows underscored institutional appetite for Bitcoin amid volatile markets.

Supporting the rally were smaller yet reliable gains. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust drew $24.64 million; Invesco’s BTCO and Franklin Templeton’s EZBC contributed $18.86 million and $6.48 million. Valkyrie’s BRRR chipped in $4.67 million. Only Grayscale’s GBTC bucked the trend with $117.11 million in outflows—dwarfed by the category’s overall surge. Bitcoin ETFs finished with $25.87 billion in volume and $149.96 billion in assets.

Ethereum funds faced unrelenting pressure. Fidelity’s FETH saw the largest exit at $95.25 million, followed by BlackRock’s ETHA losing $89.03 million, nullifying its prior gains. Grayscale’s ETHE and Mini Trust shed $26.03 million and $23.50 million; Bitwise’s ETHW and VanEck’s ETHV dropped $8.85 million and $1.25 million. Despite $10.88 billion in trading, Ethereum ETF assets fell to $26.39 billion, signaling sustained rotation from Ethereum.

The October 20–24 window highlighted Bitcoin’s rebound as a perceived safe haven under tightening macro conditions, while Ethereum grappled with persistent selling. This growing flow gap reinforces Bitcoin’s dominance in the crypto ETF space, a dynamic analysts will track closely into late October.
