On May 5, 2025, Bitcoin ETFs attracted significant investor interest, pulling in $425.5 million in net inflows. Farside Investors reported that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF led the pack with $531.2 million. This is seen as a sign of growing confidence in Bitcoin among institutional investors. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs recorded neither inflows nor outflows on the same day.
According to Farside Investors, no movement was observed in any Ethereum ETFs, including major funds like BlackRock’s ETHA ETF and Grayscale’s ETHE. The total net asset value of Ethereum ETFs stood at $6.308 billion, with a market value ratio of 2.89%. In contrast, the $425.5 million net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs on the same day highlighted Ethereum’s stagnation. Analysts believe innovations like SEC approval for staking could break this lull.
Which Funds Stood Out in Bitcoin ETF Net Inflows?
BlackRock’s IBIT ETF outshone competitors with $531.2 million in inflows. However, Fidelity’s FBTC ETF saw $57.8 million in outflows, Bitwise’s BITB lost $22.7 million, and Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $16.4 million in outflows. Additionally, ARKB lost $6.1 million, and EZBC saw $2.7 million in outflows. These movements indicate a selective approach by investors. Glassnode’s data confirmed a 12,000 BTC exchange inflow, signaling active participation by major players.
Trading volumes for BTC/USD and BTC/USDT pairs on Binance and Coinbase surged by $1.2 billion. Institutional buying clearly supported prices. Moreover, the Bitcoin ETF net inflow trend is fostering optimism in the market. Analysts predict that IBIT’s leadership will continue, with other funds potentially recovering. Investors can monitor ETF flows to anticipate short-term price movements.
