Bitcoin and Ethereum News
U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds have posted their first combined week of net inflows since late October, signaling a potential turnaround following a brutal stretch of institutional outflows. The reversal came during a holiday-shortened trading week.
The positive flows mark a sharp departure from recent weeks. Spot Bitcoin ETFs had shed $1.22 billion the week prior, extending their outflow streak to four consecutive weeks with cumulative losses totaling more than $4.3 billion.
Spot Ethereum ETFs similarly experienced three straight weeks of outflows, culminating in $500.3 million in redemptions the week ended Nov. 21. The worst week for Ethereum funds occurred during the period ending Nov. 14, 2025, when investors pulled $728.6 million.
BlackRock's industry-leading IBIT fund logged $113.7 million worth of outflows on Friday despite net inflows on Tuesday and Wednesday. IBIT ended the week with $137.0 million worth of net outflows but remains the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management, holding $70.7 billion worth of Bitcoin, about 3.9% of all Bitcoin in existence.
The nine spot Ethereum ETFs hold cumulative net inflows of $12.94 billion and total net assets of $19.15 billion, representing approximately 5.19% of Ethereum's market capitalization. BlackRock's ETHA fund logged $257.2 million worth of total net inflows across the shortened trading week, accounting for over 82% of all inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs.
Friday's flows came during a holiday-shortened trading session, with spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $3.4 billion in daily trading volume and spot Ethereum ETFs recording $1.11 billion. The recovery follows what CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill described as the third-largest run of outflows since 2018.
