Bitcoin ETFs Attracted $5 Million, Ethereum Funds Lost $60 Million

Bitcoin ETFs ended Thursday with minimal inflows. The total figure was $5.06 million. The main contribution came from BlackRock's IBIT, which attracted $16.79 million. Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust lost $7.64 million, and Invesco's BTCO lost $4.09 million. Trading volume reached $2.28 billion, with net assets amounting to $105.71 billion. The week remains uneven: Monday minus $65.40 million, Tuesday plus $175.62 million, Wednesday minus $261.46 million, Thursday barely in the green. Over four days, the category lost about $146 million. Investors are ready to buy on the dip, but confidence is fragile.

Ethereum ETFs continued to lose funds. On Thursday, the outflow reached $60.22 million. BlackRock's ETHA lost $44.39 million, Grayscale's ETHE lost $18.28 million, while Fidelity's FETH attracted $2.44 million. Trading volume was $773.15 million, with net assets at $15.29 billion. Tuesday's inflow of $24.84 million appears to be an anomaly. On Monday, the funds lost $85.40 million, on Wednesday $129.51 million, and on Thursday another $60.22 million. Over four sessions, the outflow amounted to about $250.29 million, almost twice as much as Bitcoin ETFs. The pressure spread to other assets. Solana ETFs lost $9.82 million for the ninth consecutive day, with GSOL down $6.01 million and BSOL down $3.80 million, reducing assets to $1.68 billion. HYPE showed an outflow of $10.28 million, led by THYP from 21Shares with $7.10 million. Zcash ETFs returned to buybacks: ZCSH lost $14.76 million.

The exception was NEAR. NRR from Bitwise attracted $1.13 million, with assets growing to $86.14 million. XRP remained almost unchanged: an outflow of $104,510 amid mixed flows from Franklin XRPZ and Bitwise XRP. Thursday's data confirms the week's trend. Demand for Bitcoin is unstable, Ethereum sales continue, and risk appetite in altcoins is weakening. The main question before Friday is whether Bitcoin can turn the small inflow into a sustainable trend. Without a broad recovery, the ETF market indicates a reduction in risks from institutional investors.
