As of October 3, institutional interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum continues to rise rapidly. Global macroeconomic uncertainties, central banks’ indecision over interest rate policies, and increasing volatility in traditional markets are driving investors back toward digital assets.
Bitcoin, as the market leader, is strengthening its role as a “safe haven” for institutional investors, while Ethereum stands out with its technological value potential, backed by its robust ecosystem and continued growth in DeFi and tokenization sectors.
Strong Capital Inflows into Bitcoin Spot ETFs
Recent data shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs have extended their streak of inflows, which began at the end of September, well into October. Notably, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) accounted for the majority of these inflows.
In total, $985 million in net inflows were recorded — marking one of the strongest ETF investment days of 2025 so far.
Experts note that this trend indicates investors still see strong potential in Bitcoin, even after its recent all-time high (ATH) breakout.
Crypto analyst Eric Balchunas commented:
“The demand for ETFs is not driven solely by price expectations, but also by the growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a long-term investment vehicle.”
Strong Inflow Momentum in Ethereum ETFs as Well
The bullish momentum in Bitcoin has also carried over to Ethereum ETFs. As of October 3, spot ETH ETFs recorded a total of $233.55 million in net inflows, marking five consecutive days of positive inflows.
The increasing inflows into Ethereum are attributed to both the revival of DeFi activity and the confidence boost created by spot ETF approvals.
Some analysts predict that if this momentum continues, Ethereum could retest the $5,000 level in the short term.
“Institutional Demand Is Gaining Strength Again”
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated that the consecutive inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs signal a renewed rotation of institutional capital into the market. Seyffart commented:
“These figures show that the crypto market is now supported not only by speculative investors but also by long-term capital holders. This is a critical factor for price stability and sustainable growth.”
The growing inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have also had a positive impact on overall market sentiment. Market participants believe this trend could trigger capital inflows into the altcoin market in the coming weeks. In particular, major projects such as Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) are expected to benefit from this favorable environment.
