Bitcoin Dominance Surges as Ethereum ETFs See Continued Outflows
The cryptocurrency market saw significant trends on September 18, 2026. Bitcoin ETFs attracted substantial inflows of approximately $159 million, while Ethereum ETFs experienced continued outflows of about $39 million for the third consecutive day.
Ethereum's price rose 2% to around $2,470 during this period, but its overall trend contradicts the growing interest in Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin itself increased by over 1% to approximately $77,216, indicating strong market demand.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (BTC) has a market cap of about $4.81 billion and allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without directly purchasing it. This robust inflow into Bitcoin ETFs suggests that investors are increasingly favoring Bitcoin over other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and XRP, which have seen outflows.
