On August 5, 2025, the cryptocurrency market saw contrasting movements between spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. While spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $196.2 million, spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $73.3 million—highlighting diverging investor sentiment and shifting risk appetites.
Sharp Outflows in Bitcoin ETFs
The largest outflow of the day came from Fidelity’s FBTC fund, which saw $99.11 million withdrawn. Grayscale’s GBTC fund experienced a $19.65 million outflow, while BlackRock’s IBIT fund saw $77.42 million exit. Combined, the three major funds accounted for the entire $196.2 million outflow. Their total net assets now stand at $146.18 billion. Analysts attribute the withdrawals to market volatility, short-term profit-taking, and lingering uncertainty over Bitcoin’s short-term outlook.
Ethereum ETFs Show Strong Inflows
In contrast, Ethereum ETFs had a positive day with a net inflow of $73.3 million. The most notable investment was into BlackRock’s ETHA fund, which alone attracted $88.77 million. Overall, Ethereum ETFs now hold $9.10 billion in net inflows and $19.99 billion in total assets. Experts point to optimism around upcoming network upgrades and long-term growth potential as key drivers behind the demand.
Shifting Investor Preferences
The simultaneous exit from Bitcoin and entry into Ethereum reflects a strategic pivot among investors. Ethereum’s evolving technology and expanding ecosystem are generating renewed interest and potential opportunities, signaling that the momentum behind Ethereum ETFs could continue in the coming months.
