Bitcoin ETFs Record Sixth Consecutive Day of Inflows, BlackRock Leads with $162M

U.S. crypto exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) continued to attract capital on Thursday, marking the sixth straight day of net inflows for bitcoin products. Total inflows across all crypto ETFs reached $190.65 million, with institutional demand driving the surge.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Inflow Streak

Bitcoin funds added $190.65 million, extending a six‑day inflow run. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for the bulk of the flow, pulling in $162.63 million. Other contributors included Fidelity’s FBTC ($12.86 million), Morgan Stanley’s MSBT ($10.16 million), Franklin’s EZBC ($4.88 million) and Bitwise’s BITB ($4.13 million). The only outflow came from WisdomTree’s BTCW, which shed $4.02 million. Daily trading volume in bitcoin ETFs hit $2.27 billion, and total net assets closed at $108.92 billion.

Ether ETFs Maintain Positive Momentum

Ether‑focused ETFs posted $66.01 million of net inflows, marking a fifth consecutive positive session. BlackRock’s ETHA led with $26.81 million, followed by Fidelity’s FETH ($21.45 million) and Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust ($17.75 million). Trading volume reached $771.91 million and net assets ended the day at $17.70 billion.

Altcoin ETFs See Gains

Solana ETFs attracted $32.81 million, driven primarily by Bitwise’s BSOL ($27.97 million) and Fidelity’s FSOL ($4.84 million). XRP ETFs added $14.89 million, led by Bitwise’s XRP fund ($9.91 million) and Franklin’s XRPZ ($4.98 million). HYPE‑focused ETFs recorded a $4.77 million inflow, entirely from Bitwise’s BHYP. Zcash ETFs showed no net flow for the second day in a row, though combined assets remain around $1 billion.

Derivatives Market Signals Caution

Despite strong ETF inflows, derivatives data suggest a more guarded outlook. Bitcoin open interest has risen to levels last seen in May, with Hyperliquid alone exceeding $3 billion in BTC open interest. The futures‑spot basis turned negative, indicating that short sellers are adding positions even as ETF demand stays robust.

Overall, institutional buying continues to support crypto ETFs, while parts of the derivatives market position for a potential pullback.
