Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $13M as Ethereum Draws $216M Inflow
The crypto ETF market saw contrasting trends on September 11 as Bitcoin funds experienced $13.29 million in net outflows, while Ethereum ETFs absorbed a substantial $216 million in fresh capital.
This split verdict comes after three days of sustained outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, which had shed roughly $450 million since September 8. The single-day inflow figure for Bitcoin on September 3 was significantly higher at $730.9 million, highlighting the volatility in weekly flows.
The difference in figures between trackers is attributed to the fragmented nature of ETF flow reporting, where timing of NAV calculations and data cut-off windows can produce varying results. The dominant players in the AUM stack are BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, Fidelity, Grayscale, and ARK 21Shares.
The substantial inflows into Ethereum on September 11 suggest a relative value trade or shift in institutional preference between the two assets. This rotation may indicate a response to macroeconomic factors such as inflation data and Federal Reserve meeting calendars, which can influence rate-sensitive positioning.
