Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin ETFs resumed inflows as Ether ETFs continued struggling with negative flows.
- On Thursday, BTC ETFs saw $241 million in inflows with BlackRock leading the trail.
- Ethereum products registered $79 million outflows while ETH price plunged below $4,000.
Crypto markets saw mixed signals since the beginning of the week as institutional flows presented the sector with two vastly different images of its leading assets. Bitcoin ETFs recovered their composure after days of massive redemptions, with large inflows, which may indicate investor confidence will resume. Ethereum ETFs, however, shifted in the reverse direction, with them still recording massive outflows as investor interest faded.
Bitcoin ETFs vs. Ethereum ETFs: Clash of Two Clans in the Crypto World
Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced the highest net inflows of $241 million on September 24, 2025, according to Farside Investors. BlackRock (iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s FBTC were the leaders in the day with $128.9 million and $29.7 million, respectively. Bitwise BITB grew by $24.7 million, Ark Invest ARKB gained $37.7 million, and Grayscale GBTC recorded $13.6 million, a rare inflow after a long history of outflows.
This recovery followed one of the tough weeks of September. The Bitcoin ETFs lost a total of over $463 million within September 22-23, with Fidelity alone losing over $340 million in that time. Nonetheless, the long-term outlook is quite strong: IBIT attracted more than 60.7 billion in total inflows since its launch, whereas FBTC is equal to $12.3 billion.
Ethereum ETFs, in their turn, were still showing negative results. Bitcoin products have attracted funds on the same day Ether-linked funds lost $79.4 million. Fidelity’s FETH had the highest redemption of $33.3 million, ETHA at BlackRock had an outflow of $26.5 million, and ETHE at Grayscale had an outflow of $8.9 million.
The previous day painted an even more grim picture. On September 23, over $140.8 million left Ethereum ETFs, Fidelity FETH fell by $63.4 million, and Grayscale ETHE by $36.4 million. Since launch, Grayscale has produced a product with over $4.5 billion in redemptions, and it points to the gradual investor withdrawal from being exposed to Ethereum.
BTC, ETH Prices Continue to Struggle
Nonetheless, the Bitcoin price did not reflect the optimism of inflows even following the ETF turnaround. BTC fell below the critical $112,500 support and hit its lowest point of less than $111,750 after touching $114,000 in the middle of the week. Market analysts have indicated that the zone that is vcurrently between $113,400 and $114,000 is the area that would potentially turn sentiment back to thebullish side. Crypto experts caution that there are downside risks to $107,000 in an attempt to declare that the trade will not be able to make a convincing upward move.
The disparity in the flows is becoming clearer by the day. Programs are continuing to invest in Bitcoin, and it is establishing itself as the point of entry into the crypto world. Ethereum, in its turn, is still subject to doubt, and its ETFs have been unable to retain investor funds despite a larger market presence of digital assets remaining open.
Also, the ETH price lost hold on the $4,000, a psychologically critical level for the market. Furthermore, Coinglass data indicates that Ethereum saw the highest liquidation levels today amid other cryptocurrencies. ETH liquidations hit $181.56 million with $161.05 million longs liquidated.
