Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Record $2.6 Billion Inflows, Weekly Volume Surges to $29 Billion
ETF trading volume more than tripled to $29 billion as bitcoin and ether prices rose, marking the strongest inflow week since October despite year‑to‑date declines.
Weekly trading activity in cryptocurrency exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) jumped sharply, with total volume reaching $29 billion—more than three times the prior week’s level. The surge was driven by inflows of $2.6 billion into bitcoin and ether ETFs, the largest weekly net addition since October.
ETF Volume and Inflows
Combined weekly trading volume for bitcoin and ether ETFs rose to $29 billion, a threefold increase over the previous week. Net inflows of $2.6 billion flowed into these funds, marking the strongest weekly addition since the fall of 2023.
Price Movement
During the same period, both bitcoin and ether prices rallied, providing momentum for the ETF activity. Despite the short‑term gains, each asset remains in negative territory for the calendar year.
Market Context
The heightened ETF activity reflects renewed investor interest in regulated crypto exposure, even as broader price trends for the underlying assets stay below their year‑start levels.
