Ethereum Outsmarts Bitcoin in ETF Inflows! Who’s Winning Now?

by

On September 29, the U.S. spot ETFs, once again proving that they are more unpredictable than your cousin’s relationship status, reversed a week of outflows and managed to rake in a hefty amount. Bitcoin ETFs bagged $521.95 million, but Ethereum came out on top with $546.96 million in inflows, just a smidgen ahead of Bitcoin, according to the ever-watchful eyes of SoSoValue. It’s like a race where the tortoise somehow trips and still wins. 🐢💸

Bitcoin ETF Breakdown

Now, let’s talk about Bitcoin ETFs. They saw a rather respectable $521.95 million in inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC led the pack with $298.70 million-yes, it’s basically the Beyoncé of Bitcoin ETFs. Not far behind, Ark & 21Shares flexed $62.18 million, while Grayscale BTC and Bitwise BITB threw in $47.09 million and $47.16 million, respectively. How sweet of them. 🍬

Other players in the game included Invesco BTCO with $35.34 million, VanEck HODL (no, this is not a typo) bringing in $30.66 million, Grayscale GBTC with $26.91 million, and Franklin EZBC managing a modest $16.51 million. The real kicker? Valkyrie BRRR (I’m assuming that’s a reference to the noise you make when you’re cold) dropped the smallest deposit of the day at a mere $4.03 million. 🤦‍♂️

But hold your horses! BlackRock IBIT, the villain of the day, reported an outflow of $46.64 million. Tsk, tsk. Overall, the total trading value surged to a jaw-dropping $4.61 billion, with net assets reaching $150.41 billion, which is a mere 6.61% of Bitcoin’s market cap. And yes, that’s a lot of numbers, but they’re good for you, trust me. 😉

Ethereum ETF Breakdown

Over in Ethereum land, things were a little spicier. Ethereum ETFs saw a glorious net inflow of $546.96 million, and every single one of those nine ETFs decided to be generous. Fidelity FETH led the charge with $202.18 million, followed by BlackRock ETHA at $154.20 million-talk about a power couple! 💑

Grayscale ETH, Bitwise ETHW, Grayscale ETHE, and VanEck ETHV also chipped in with $99.83 million, $36.52 million, $22.77 million, and $15.29 million, respectively. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. No big deal. 💅

Meanwhile, Invesco QETH made the smallest splash with $6.69 million, Franklin EZET followed up with $6.34 million, and 21Shares TETH wasn’t far behind with $3.13 million. The total trading value, however, took a bit of a dip to $1.89 billion, with total net assets resting at $27.54 billion. This represents a mere 5.40% of Ethereum’s market cap. Someone’s still got room to grow. 🌱

Market Context

Let’s throw in a little bit of context, shall we? Bitcoin is currently trading at $114,252, marking a 1.7% increase from last week. Its market cap has skyrocketed to $2.276 trillion, and daily trading volume is at a healthy $58.687 billion. In short: Bitcoin is chilling, making money, and sipping mimosas. 🍹

Ethereum, on the other hand, is sitting pretty at $4,196.90, with a market cap of $507.11 billion. It’s seen a slight uptick, much like someone slowly waking up after a good nap. Its daily trading volume stands at $35.826 billion, which is just a tad higher than the previous day. Well done, Ethereum, well done. 👏
