Bitcoin ETF Inflows Show Strong Comeback 

Heading into June 17,  Bitcoin spot ETFs kicked off the week strongly with $408.6 million in daily inflows on June 16 — one of the highest daily figures in recent weeks. Notably: 

• BlackRock’s $IBIT product led with $266.6 million. 
• Fidelity’s $FBTC ETF attracted $83 million. 
• Bitwise’s $BITB pulled in $41.4 million. 

For the week (June 9–13), Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $1.37 billion, marking a solid recovery. 

Ethereum ETFs Diverge with Strong Performance 

This marks the first significant rebound after two weeks of net outflows. Despite stagnant price action, renewed institutional interest reflects directly in ETF flows. As of June 16, Ethereum spot ETFs continue to see substantial inflows. 

The Ethereum side shows even more striking figures: 

Although the inflow streak was interrupted on June 13, by June 16, weekly inflows reached $583 million — the strongest weekly performance since December 2024. 

• BlackRock’s ETHA product led with $381 million.
• Fidelity’s FETH attracted $78.5 million. 

Ethereum ETFs are gaining attention as a diversification tool, particularly due to staking expectations and technical developments. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $106,700, while Ethereum stands at $2,570.

Sources within the industry have stated that asset managers and potential issuers of existing spot ether ETFs are exploring the possibility of staking rewards.

HashKey, which co-manages a spot ether ETF in Hong Kong, is preparing a draft proposal to study staking, an official said.

Animoca Brands President Yat Siu noted that Hong Kong asset managers are working to include staking in spot ether exchange-traded funds in the hope that the staking reward feature will be approved this year.

Siu said in an interview with The Block that Hong Kong is “now in talks for Ethereum staking” and that it is “almost a foregone conclusion” that staking will be approved in Asia before the US.

“As far as how fast it’s going to happen, there’s an optimistic part of me that wants it to be within this year,” Siu said. “If there isn’t a lot of movement on staking this year, I would say the election outcome will be the other determining factor in how quickly that can happen in the US.”

HashKey co-manages two spot bitcoin and ether ETFs with Bosera in Hong Kong and is preparing a proposal to introduce ether staking. “We have created a plan to win the rewards without increasing the risks,” said Livio Weng, CEO of HashKey Exchange, adding that further details are being discussed and cannot yet be revealed.

“We hope to advance some research in this area [ether staking] in a compliant and controlled way, without increasing risks,” Weng said.

Blockdaemon, a blockchain infrastructure provider, is in talks with Hong Kong ETF issuers and custodians to explore the possibility of offering staking services, said Glenn Woo, Blockdaemon’s head of APAC sales.

“Based on my conversations with participants, issuers, VATPS [and] custodians this week and last week, I can say that we have a positive outlook on the approval of ether staking,” Woo said.
