Strong inflows into crypto ETFs: Investors remain optimistic!
Despite the ongoing volatility in crypto markets, US-listed spot crypto ETFs are showing notable inflows. Industry experts report determined investor interest in digital assets, reflected in the strong inflows in recent weeks. On Wednesday, Bitcoin ETFs saw a total of $431 million in net inflows, while Ether ETFs had estimated inflows of $84 million. These developments come despite Bitcoin and Ethereum prices declining, underscoring the resilience and growing confidence in crypto assets. [it-boltwise.de] reports that Ether ETF trading volume was $459 million, which is above the daily average since July 2024.
The leading players in this area are the large asset managers. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust saw the highest inflows at $479 million, while BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust attracted $52 million in new investments. Investor interest appears to be shifting: While gold ETFs have seen about $2.8 billion in outflows, Bitcoin ETFs have enjoyed a staggering $9 billion in inflows over the past five weeks. This could indicate the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as “digital gold.”
Market development and returns
On April 17, 2025, Crypto Magazine reported a recovery in Bitcoin ETFs with a net inflow of $106.9 million. The main drivers were BlackRock IBIT with $81 million and Fidelity FBTC with $25.9 million. Ethereum ETFs, on the other hand, remained without inflows on the day. The Bitcoin price stabilized after falling to $74,000 and is currently just under $85,000. Despite these positive trends, there are signs of volatility as short-term holders have sold 170,000 BTC, while long-term investors are selling less and remain optimistic about the market situation.
Markets are also showing an impact of current geopolitical tensions, particularly the trade dispute between China and the US. These uncertainties could greatly influence future price trends and investment decisions. Gold experienced record inflows of $21.1 billion in the first quarter of 2025, while Bitcoin suffered outflows over the same period. Immediate stability was seen on Good Friday with delicate gains of 0.5% for Bitcoin and 1.1% for Ethereum, suggesting investors are ready for fresh stimulus.
The continued demand for crypto ETFs, even during periods of price declines, could indicate maturation and stabilization of the crypto market. The combination of institutional interest, changing investment strategies and the search for alternative investments could lead to digital assets taking a permanent place in the investment landscape.
Overall, the current market movement shows that despite the challenges that the crypto market presents, long-term interest and willingness to invest remain unbroken. The shift from gold ETFs to Bitcoin ETFs could play a significant role in this.
