BlackRock Bitcoin ETF inflows: Having shown $1.81 billion in net inflows for the week ending May 2, Bitcoin ETFS have extended their winning run. Though some midweek instability, that marks their third straight week in the green. Complementing their recent comeback and indicating fresh investor confidence in crypto assets, Ether ETFs added $106.75 million simultaneously.
IBIT from BlackRock Rules the Bitcoin ETF Scene
BlackRock’s IBIT, which drew in an astounding $2.48 billion—easily surpassing the losses experienced across other major funds—was the lion’s share of Bitcoin ETF gains. With $674.91 million in inflows, Friday, May 2 was the biggest single day of the week; Wednesday was the only day to show net outflows.
Though some critical ETFs had negative flows—ARKB (—$457.64 million), FBTC (—$201.09 million), GBTC (—$58.61 million), and BITB (—$30.15 million)—the sheer volume from IBIT pushed the general mood into optimistic territory. Supporting the march were small gains from Grayscale’s Mini BTC Trust ($41.92 million), Vaneck’s HODL ($19.19 million), and Invesco’s BTCO ($10.61 million).
Ether ETFs Reversal Under BlackRock Leading Again
Ether ETFs are also gaining momentum for the second week in a row. Drawing $87.57 million in net inflows, BlackRock’s ETHA led the way, followed by Fidelity’s FESH ($37.79 million) and Grayscale’s Mini ETH Trust ($11.98 million).
Still, not every fund showed green. Bitwise lost $4.37 million; Grayscale’s ETHE reported $26.21 million in outflows. Still, the Ether ETF category ended the week positively, indicating a resurgence of institutional demand for ETH exposure.
BlackRock Changing the Crypto ETF Story
One tendency is quite clear: BlackRock is guiding the capital flow, whether it is Bitcoin or Ether. It’s not only about whose crypto is trending but also about who’s getting the faith of institutional investors, as their money still rules net inflows.
