Bitcoin and Ether ETFs See Inflows Amid Price Recovery

Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted substantial capital on Wednesday, reflecting renewed investor confidence amid a price rebound. BTC-focused ETFs pulled in $757 million, while ETH ETFs brought in $171.5 million.

BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC led the inflows for Bitcoin, marking the sector’s strongest single day since July, as BTC climbed above $114,000.

For Ether, prices topped $4,400, supported by increased demand in BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH funds, according to SoSoValue data.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows:

  • Total net inflows: $757 million
  • Fidelity FBTC: $299 million
  • BlackRock IBIT: $211 million
  • Ark Invest ARKB: $145 million

Ether ETF Inflows:

  • Total net inflows: $171 million
  • BlackRock ETHA: $74.5 million
  • Fidelity FETH: $49.5 million

These inflows follow a $446 million outflow from ETH ETFs earlier in September, signaling a renewed rotation back into Ethereum as prices rebound.

Looking at the monthly picture, Bitcoin ETFs have added $1.39 billion in September, offsetting August’s $751 million in redemptions. Over the past six months, BTC ETFs have shown consistently positive flows, peaking at $6.02 billion in July. Ethereum ETFs, however, posted their first monthly outflow in September, losing $669 million after recording $9.3 billion in net inflows during June–August.

The resurgence in ETF demand comes ahead of next week’s Federal Reserve meeting. Polymarket traders are pricing in an 82% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut. Analysts note that the key driver may not be the Fed’s immediate decision, but whether large pools of capital in money market funds rotate into risk assets. Sustained ETF inflows could provide the structural support that has bolstered BTC rallies earlier this year.
