Bitcoin ETFs Involve Investors, Ether ETCs Outperform Cryptocurrency ETFs
Despite Strong Uptrend in 2018, Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) reported net inflows of $39.42 million for the fifth day in a row, indicating a significant shift in investor interest. On the other hand, Ether ETFs experienced net outflows of $17.97 million for the fifth day running.
The largest spot Bitcoin ETF by net assets, IBIT (BlackRock), saw inflows totaling $8.35 million, further strengthening the market position of this EFT. Other Bitcoin equivalents on the scene include Franklin Templeton’s EZBC ($3.35 million) and Invesco’S BTCO ($2.46 million). However, it’ll be interesting to note that the only known Bitcoin fund—granular grayscale—lost $9.82 million due to outflow from its converted GBTC fund.
Six other Bitcoin funds showed no signs of activity throughout the day, indicating that the market was stable. Meanwhile, Ether ETFs were in trouble, with Grayscale’s ETHE fund being the most affected, accounting for $31.14 million outflows. Fidelity’S FETH provided the biggest inflow on Wednesday, making it the only one without red money. The Ethereum Mini Trust of Grayscale and the Ether fund of Franklin Templeton both experienced positive inflows, with $4.24 million and $1 million respectively.
On Wednesday, the 12 Bitcoin ETFs reported trading volume of $1.42 billion, which is a significant increase from last week’s $1.00 billion. This growth is seen as uplifting for the sector, and suggests that investor interest in Bitcoin-based ETPs is likely to continue. Net inflows from Bitcoin ETFs have reached $17.56 billion since their launch, while trading volume for the next trading day rose to $201 million on Wednesday (up from $194.66 million Tuesday), and Ether ETPs reported cumulative net outflows of $458.08 million.
These recent infusions may reflect a shift in investor sentiment towards one or the other of the two largest cryptocurrencies, as evidenced by the inability of Bitcoin funds to fund markets during this uncertain economic climate. It’s worth noting that the cryptocurrency market is extremely volatile, and investor sentiment can change rapidly. As the crypto market evolves, it becomes crucial to keep an eye on the flow of funds into and out of ETFs as well as trading volumes and prices.

The recent surge in support for Bitcoin ETFs is more reminiscent of the 2008 rally for Ether ETC, which was also observed last week. As an investor, it’s important to remain alert and adapt to changing market conditions whenever possible when investing in cryptocurrency-based assets.
