What happened with crypto ETFs at the start of the week?

Crypto exchange-traded funds posted a broad rebound, led by $458.19 million in net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. The session reversed the softer momentum seen late last week. Every major crypto ETF category finished in positive territory, with no reported outflows across Bitcoin or Ether products.

How much money flowed into Bitcoin ETFs specifically?

Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $458.19 million in net inflows in a single session. Total trading volume reached $5.79 billion, and combined net assets climbed to $88.34 billion. No Bitcoin ETF recorded outflows, signalling strong short-term demand from investors.

Which Bitcoin ETF issuers saw the largest inflows?

BlackRock’s IBIT led with $263.19 million in inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $94.80 million and Bitwise’s BITB with $36.40 million. Other issuers, including VanEck, Grayscale, Franklin, Invesco, and Ark & 21Shares, also reported gains. The strength was broad rather than concentrated in just one fund.

How did Ether ETFs perform during this rebound?

Ether ETFs recorded $38.69 million in net inflows. BlackRock’s ETHA led with $26.51 million, while Grayscale and other issuers added smaller amounts. Trading volume hit $1.56 billion, and total net assets rose to $11.66 billion, with no outflows reported.

What should retail investors watch next after this ETF rebound?

Investors should monitor whether inflows continue over several trading days or reverse into outflows. Sustained high trading volume and steady growth in net assets would be positive signals. A sharp drop in flows or renewed redemptions would suggest the rebound was temporary.
