Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States began the week with net inflows that were more than five times greater than those of spot Ethereum ETFs.
According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $27.87 million on Aug. 12, a flip from the $45.14 million outflows recorded on Aug. 9.
Interestingly, ARK 21Shares’s ARKB led the lot with $35.4 million, bringing its total inflows since launch to $2.45 billion. BlackRock’s IBIT followed with $13.4 inflows, being the only one to record a second consecutive day of inflows.
Grayscale’s Bitcoin mini trust fund raked in the least inflows, with $7.9 million flowing in.
These inflows managed to offset the $11.8 million leaving Grayscale’s GBTC, which has shed over $19.46 billion since launch. The remaining ETFs saw no flows on the day.
Trading volume for these offerings jumped to $1.3 billion, lower than the $1.27 billion seen on Aug. 12. Cumulative net inflows into spot BTC ETFs stood at $17.37 billion.
In contrast, the nine spot Ethereum ETFs saw smaller net inflows totalling $4.93 million on the same day, marking an end to three days of net outflows.
Fidelity’s FETH led the charge with $4 million in inflows, followed by Bitwise’s ETHW and Franklin Templeton’s EZET with $2.9 million and $1 million respectively
Meanwhile, VanEck’s ETHV recorded its first day of outflows since launch, with $2.9 flowing out. Flows into the other offerings remained neutral.
However, the nine Ether ETFs saw a big jump in trading volume to $285.96 million. To date, these funds have seen cumulative net outflows of $401.01 million.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) was exchanging hands at $59,105, while Ethereum (ETH) stood at $2,641.
