Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Close 2024 with Positive Flows
Highlights:
- Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs had inflows to close the year.
- BlackRock was the most profitable ETF for BTC and ETH in 2024.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum prices fell slightly despite the fresh inflows.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs had inflows on December 31 as they both ended the year positively. They had outflows on December 30, so this is a reversal of the trend. If it continues, it can be a good sign for market participants hoping to start making profits.
Meanwhile, according to the on-chain ETF tracker SosoValue, the latest outing resulted in Bitcoin ETFs attracting one of their lowest cash inflows, valued at $5.32 million. Relatively, one can assert that yesterday’s outing was comparatively insignificant.
