BlackRock’s Role in Averting BTC ETFs Net Outflows
It is worth noting that apart from BlackRock, most other active entities on October 31 were not profitable. Notably, Seven Bitcoin ETFs were active. However, only two ETFs witnessed profits. BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) welcomed $318.8 million in gains, while Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF (BRRR) attracted a meager $1.89 million cash inflow.
With its most recent contribution, IBIT’s cumulative net inflows soared to about $26.14 billion, with total net assets striking $30.53 billion. Amongst the five entities that incurred losses, three witnessed outflows above $70 million, while the remaining two were above $10 million.
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) topped the losses chart after forfeiting $94.21 million. Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) followed closely. Both recorded outflows of about $75.24 million and $74.02 million, respectively. The remaining two commodities that forfeited funds include Grayscale Bitcoin ETF’s (GBTC) $31.15 million and VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL), with about $13.94 million.
The statistics above from Bitcoin ETFs recording losses imply that an inactive IBIT would have resulted in the commodities accumulating roughly $288.53 in net outflows. Meanwhile, following the slight gainful contribution, Bitcoin ETF cumulative net inflows spiked to about $24.21 billion. The total value traded was $3.07 billion, while total net assets reflected $70.86 billion. The net assets valuation represents 5.12% of Bitcoin’s $1.37 trillion market cap.
Ethereum ETFs Detailed Statistical Report
For Ethereum, the ETFs witnessed a reduced activeness level. Only two entities were active. BlackRock Ethereum ETF (ETHA) registered the only inflow at roughly $49.64 million. With its latest positive input, ETHA’s cumulative net inflow and assets soared to about $1.34 billion and $1.18 billion, respectively.
Meanwhile, as usual, the outflow contribution came from Grayscale Ethereum ETF (ETHE). The commodity witnessed outflows valued at roughly $36.58 million. Consequently, ETH ETFs cumulative net outflows dropped slightly to about $480.51 million.
The total value traded and net assets reflected approximately $281.7 million and $6.96 billion, respectively. The total net assets value represents 2.29% of Ethereum’s $301.9 billion market cap.

Within the same timeframe, BTC displayed price extremes, fluctuating between $68,840.28 and $72,635.49. Hence, it underscores a marked decrement in a short time interval. On its part, Ethereum’s 24-hour-to-date variable reflected a 4.8% drop with a $2,500 selling price. Despite the declines, ETH’s 24-hour trading volume is up by roughly 2.26% with a $21.39 billion valuation.
