Ether ETFs See $120 Million Inflow as Bitcoin ETFs Roar Back
The market did not drift back to life. It snapped awake. After the holiday pause, crypto ETFs reopened with force, delivering one of the most decisive inflow sessions in recent weeks. The message was clear. Capital is still ready to move when confidence returns.
Bitcoin ETFs led the rebound with a commanding $471.32 million in net inflows. The buying was broad-based and consistent, with six funds contributing and not a single outflow recorded.
Blackrock’s IBIT set the tone with $181.89 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC followed closely with $147.32 million. Ark & 21shares’ ARKB added another $118.76 million, reinforcing the depth of institutional demand. Additional inflows came from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust at $17.59 million, Bitwise’s BITB at $3.79 million, and Vaneck’s HODL with $1.97 million.
Trading volume reached $2.31 billion, and net assets climbed sharply to $90.26 billion. It was a clean, confident return.
Ether ETFs followed with strength of their own. The group recorded $120.24 million in net inflows, marking a clear reversal after a prolonged stretch of outflows.
BlackRock’s ETHA led with $60.82 million, while Fidelity’s FETH added $40.06 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust brought in $14.43 million, alongside smaller inflows into ETHE at $2.79 million and 21Shares’ TETH at $2.14 million. Like Bitcoin, the session saw no outflows. Trading volume stood at $972.41 million, with net assets rising to $12.28 billion.
Elsewhere, activity was quieter. XRP ETFs recorded no trading action, with net assets holding at $940.58 million, continuing a recent pattern of inactivity.
Solana ETFs posted a modest $246,980 inflow, driven entirely by Invesco’s QSOL. Trading volume reached $24.27 million, while net assets closed at $798.97 million.
The contrast is telling. Investors returned decisively to bitcoin and ether, but remained cautious elsewhere. It is not a full market-wide rally, but it is a strong signal of where conviction currently lies.
