Cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Gather Over $1 Billion Collectively in a 24-Hour Period

Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Witness Demand Surge

In the past few weeks, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen substantial new investment inflows and remarkable price movements.

Bitcoin ETFs have garnered over $3.6 billion in inflows during May 2025, highlighting a robust surge in investor interest [1]. The week ending May 25 saw Bitcoin ETFs in the United States reach a record $25 billion in trading volume, with BlackRock's IBIT fund leading the daily inflows, which peaked at $877.2 million on May 22 [4][5]. The total net flows for Bitcoin ETFs surpassed $2.5 billion in a recent week, demonstrating broad institutional confidence, as Bitcoin nears all-time highs [5].

Despite this influx, Bitcoin's price experienced a slight dip, decreasing approximately 0.98% to $109,678 on May 26, 2025, suggesting short-term price pressure despite robust trading volumes [3].

Ethereum ETFs have also performed admirably, experiencing their strongest month in 2025 in terms of inflows [1]. During May 2025, Ethereum ETFs recorded more than $210 million in inflows, including five consecutive days of net inflows [2]. On May 22, Ethereum ETFs experienced one of their strongest single-day inflows of the year, amounting to $110.5 million, primarily driven by BlackRock’s ETHE and Grayscale’s ETH products [2][5]. The flow of Ethereum ETFs initially lagged behind Bitcoin but picked up momentum after a brief dip, including a $24.3 million outflow from Fidelity on May 21 before a strong recovery [5].

However, Ethereum's price declined more noticeably than Bitcoin's on May 26, falling 4.57% to $2,570, suggesting higher short-term volatility despite the inflows [3].

These developments indicate that institutional interest in both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs remains strong, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting larger and more consistent inflows, while Ethereum ETFs are gaining momentum and investors' confidence. Price volatility persists, particularly in Ethereum, reflecting market dynamics despite ETF investments [1][2][3][4][5].
