Ether ETFs Drop for Second Week as Bitcoin ETF Inflows Spike

Ether Etfs Drop For Second Week As Bitcoin Etf Inflows Spike
Recent shifts in investor sentiment are evident as spot Ethereum ETFs face two consecutive weeks of withdrawals, contrasting with renewed interest in Bitcoin ETFs. Market dynamics suggest a rotation where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are attracting institutional inflows amid ongoing regulatory and macroeconomic uncertainties, while Ethereum experiences a tapering of demand.
  • Ethereum spot ETFs experienced $243.9 million in outflows over the past week, marking a second consecutive week of investor exit.
  • Despite outflows in Ethereum funds, Bitcoin ETFs re-entered the spotlight with $446 million in net inflows, reflecting renewed institutional interest.
  • BlackRock’s ETHA ETF led Ethereum withdrawals with $100.99 million, while Bitcoin funds like BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC attracted significant investments.
  • Market analysts interpret the shifting flows as a rotation toward Bitcoin’s perceived safe-haven status amid ongoing macroeconomic concerns.
  • Ethereum’s demand remains subdued, with investors waiting for new catalysts to boost on-chain activity and investment flows.

After months of robust inflows, spot Ethereum ETFs are witnessing a notable retreat, with two straight weeks of investor redemptions signaling a potential shift in market sentiment. According to data from SoSoValue, Ethereum-focused products saw net redemptions of $243.9 million in the week ending Friday, following the previous week’s $311 million outflow. Despite these declines, overall assets under management across all Ether ETFs stand at approximately $26.39 billion, representing about 5.55% of Ethereum’s total market cap.

On the same day, Bitcoin ETFs experienced renewed enthusiasm, with $446 million in net inflows, signifying a strong comeback driven by institutional investors. Friday alone saw an influx of $90.6 million, pushing total assets to nearly $150 billion. Leading the inflows were BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which gained $32.68 million, and Fidelity’s FBTC, adding $57.92 million. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF continues to dominate the market, holding assets worth approximately $89.17 billion, underscoring Bitcoin’s appeal as a resilient store of value.

Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, attributes the flow patterns to a “strong” rotation into Bitcoin, which is increasingly perceived as “digital gold” amid ongoing global economic uncertainties. Liu noted that the recent inflows reflect a broader trend where investors favor assets viewed as safe havens, especially as expectations for interest rate cuts rise.

Conversely, Ethereum’s declining on-chain activity and the recent ETF outflows signal softer demand, with institutional investors waiting for new catalysts before re-engaging. Liu expects Bitcoin inflows to remain robust in the near term, driven by market expectations of monetary easing. He added that Ethereum and other altcoins would likely regain momentum only if network activity picks up or new developments emerge to reinvigorate investor interest.

As the crypto markets evolve, these flow patterns underscore the ongoing divergence in investor sentiment towards major cryptocurrencies, highlighting Bitcoin’s resilience and Ethereum’s current cautious stance amid broader macroeconomic challenges.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
