Bitcoin Spot ETF Inflows Surge with Major Contributions

As of November 21, total investment in Bitcoin spot ETFs reached a net inflow of $1.005 billion. BlackRock‘s ETF, IBIT, garnered inflows worth $608 million, while Fidelity’s ETF, FBTC, was the second-best performer, with inflows of $301 million. Such frenzy reflects growing confidence in the Bitcoin-focused ETF among institutional investors.

While Bitcoin ETFs saw unprecedented inflows, this was a function of broader interest in the cryptocurrency market for regulated investment products. According to Sosovalue, this is indicative of a very strong appetite among both retail and institutional participants, boosting the dynamics of the markets and indicating increased mainstream adoption.

Ethereum ETFs See Sharp Outflows Amid Mixed Trends

In contrast, Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $9.05 million on Nov 21st: Grayscale‘s ETHE took the most damage with a single-day outflow of $27.07 million. However, not all were in the red, as this was somewhat balanced out by Fidelity’s ETF FETH with an inflow of $16.79 million – an indicative result of some investors’ confidence.

These do present trends of how the two markets diverge, whereby Bitcoin starts to move and Ethereum doesn’t. A cautious investor likely prefers Bitcoin as relatively safer and more established within the crypto space.
