Cash Inflows Input from Other Bitcoin ETFs

While IBIT might have stolen the spotlight from Bitcoin ETF flow data, several other entities contributed to the impressive trend. Notedly, three entities witnessed over $10 million in gains. They include Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) with $56.95 million, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) with $33.37 million, and VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) with $11.34 million.

Aside from five ETFs that registered zero flows, two other commodities witnessed less than $10 million in net inflows. They include Grayscale Mini Bitcoin ETF (BTC) and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB). Both entities welcomed gains of about $5.92 million and $2.55 million, respectively.

Following the recent flow trend, Bitcoin ETFs’ cumulative net inflows soared to about $21.93 billion. The total value traded spiked to roughly $2.9 billion, while total net assets reflected $65.25 billion. The $65.25 billion represents 4.93% of Bitcoin’s $1.325 trillion market capitalization.

Ethereum ETFs Accumulate Losses to Conclude the Week in Net Outflows

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs poor run continued on October 25. According to SosoValue’s data, the commodities welcomed roughly $19.16 million in net outflows. All ETH ETFs recorded zero flows apart from Grayscale Ethereum ETF (ETHE), which witnessed the only losses accounting for the negative flow outcome.

With the recent flow data, Ethereum’s cumulative total net inflow plunged into further losses worth $504.44 million. Meanwhile, the total value traded was $189.88 million, while total net assets reflected $6.82 billion. The total net assets valuation represents 2.28% of Ethereum’s $297.24 billion market capitalization.
