Bitcoin ETFs posted a positive week with $433M Friday inflows; Ethereum funds ended a four-week streak of inflows.
Macro & Markets ·
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a positive week after receiving $433 million in net inflows on Friday, with Fidelity's FBTC product accounting for $310.7 million of that total. The concentrated inflow into a single product proved substantial enough to counterbalance outflows that had occurred earlier in the week. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs ended a four-week streak of consecutive inflows, signaling a shift in investor appetite between the two largest digital assets.
The weekly outcome reflects mixed signals in the spot ETF market heading into the weekend. Bitcoin funds managed to turn positive despite mid-week redemptions, while ether-focused products reversed course after a month-long accumulation phase. The mechanics underscore how single-day institutional moves—particularly from major issuers—can determine overall weekly direction in the still-developing ETF landscape for digital assets.
Whether this marks a pause in Ethereum's inflow momentum or a broader rotation toward Bitcoin remains unclear. The data points to Friday's demand but does not indicate the underlying drivers of the shift or suggest whether the pattern will persist into the following week.
