BlackRock Drives Majority of Bitcoin ETF Inflows as Ethereum Funds Surge

On August 24, BlackRock dominated net inflows into both Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange‑traded funds (ETFs). The firm’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted $209 million, representing roughly 62 % of the day’s total Bitcoin ETF inflow, while its Ethereum fund ETHA contributed $90.92 million, about 78 % of the day’s Ethereum ETF inflow.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of $337.60 million for the day, according to CoinGlass data. IBIT’s $209 million inflow was the largest single contribution, extending a recent trend of strong demand that included a $606 million inflow just days earlier. Total net assets across spot Bitcoin ETFs stood at $79.16 billion at the time of reporting, with Bitcoin trading above $80,000.

Ethereum ETF Inflows

Spot Ethereum ETFs saw $116 million in net inflows, marking the sixth consecutive day of gains. ETHA’s $90.92 million accounted for the majority of this amount. Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust added $12.50 million, the second‑largest contribution. Ether was priced near $2,486, up 2.4 % over 24 hours.

Implications

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with $15.3 trillion in assets under management as of June 30 2026, led inflows across both crypto ETF categories on the same day. This dual dominance underscores the firm’s role as a primary gateway for institutional exposure to digital assets.
