Crypto Markets Rebound: Bitcoin and Ethereum Spot ETFs Record Over $1 Billion in Inflows

US-listed Bitcoin and Ethereum spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) collectively recorded over $1 billion in net inflows on Monday, reversing a recent trend of outflows and signaling renewed institutional optimism. This surge in demand coincided with the Bitcoin price rebounding sharply above $114,000.

Ethereum ETFs Lead the Inflow Surge

Ethereum spot ETFs led the rebound, flipping five consecutive sessions of outflows to secure $547 million in net inflows:

• Top Performers: Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) drew the highest inflow at $202 million, followed by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) with $154 million.
• Market Share: The nine Ethereum ETF products now manage $27.5 billion in assets, representing about 5.4% of Ethereum’s circulating market cap.

Bitcoin ETFs See Strong Gains

Bitcoin ETFs also logged strong inflows, adding a total of $518 million:

• Top Performer: Fidelity’s FBTC recorded the largest single-day inflow at $299 million.
• Total AUM: Bitcoin ETFs now collectively hold $150 billion in assets under management, or about 6.6% of Bitcoin’s total market cap. BlackRock’s IBIT was a notable exception, posting a minor outflow.

Bitcoin Price Action and Broader Concerns

Bitcoin's price extended its recovery, climbing as high as $114,776. The rebound follows a sharp drop last week below $109,000. Market sentiment is being lifted by:

• "Uptober" Seasonality: The historical trend of strong gains in October.
• Whale Accumulation: On-chain data showing increased purchasing by large holders.

Despite the crypto momentum, broader market sentiment remains cautious due to political developments in Washington, D.C. Investors are closely monitoring the looming US government shutdown deadline (Tuesday midnight). Analysts warn that a prolonged shutdown could complicate the Federal Reserve's policy decisions by delaying key economic data releases, such as the September payrolls report.
