Bitcoin ETFs Saw $457 Million Net Outflows Last Week, Ethereum ETFs Recorded $634 Million Net Inflows

Digital asset investment products saw inflows of $270 million last week, setting a new year-to-date record of $37.3 billion, according to a CoinShares report.

What Happened: Bitcoin BTC/USD, the largest cryptocurrency, recorded significant outflows of $457 million—the first major outflows since early September, the report stated.

CoinShares attributed this to profit-taking after Bitcoin briefly touched the psychological threshold of $100,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETH/USD experienced remarkable inflows of $634 million, signaling a dramatic shift in sentiment toward the second-largest cryptocurrency.

Ethereum's year-to-date inflows now stand at $2.2 billion, surpassing its previous record of $2 billion in 2021.

"Ethereum's resurgence reflects renewed investor confidence, supported by its growing ecosystem and increasing institutional adoption," CoinShares noted in its analysis.

Other assets also saw notable activity.

Ripple XRP/USD recorded inflows of $95 million, the highest ever for the token, amid growing speculation about the approval of a U.S.-based exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Regionally, the United States dominated with $266 million in inflows, followed by Hong Kong and Germany, which reported $39 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Switzerland and Canada, however, registered minor outflows of $26 million and $10 million.

The report also highlighted a decline in trading volumes for digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs), which fell to $22 billion from $34 billion the previous week, despite high initial volumes following the launch of options on U.S. ETFs.
