Bitcoin and Ether ETFs attract $2.6B in strongest week since October
In brief
- Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $1.9 billion (73% of inflows) with $22.1 billion trading volume, up 219% week-over-week
- Ether ETFs recorded $697 million net inflows, their largest weekly total of 2026
- Bitcoin ETF net assets climbed to $96.1 billion; cumulative inflows since early 2024 total $53.7 billion
Inflows Driven by Bitcoin
Bitcoin ETFs did the heavy lifting, pulling in nearly $1.9 billion and accounting for about 73% of the total haul. Bitcoin fund trading volume alone reached approximately $22.1 billion, an increase of more than 219% week over week. Net assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs climbed to $96.1 billion, a 25.4% jump driven by both fresh capital and underlying price appreciation.
The surge caps a remarkable run for Bitcoin ETFs since their debut. Bitcoin ETFs debuted in January 2024 to record-setting demand, with Ether ETFs following later that year. Since their launch in early 2024, cumulative net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs have now reached roughly $53.7 billion.
Ether's Reversal
Ether ETFs recorded a sharp turnaround. Ether ETFs recorded about $697 million in net inflows, representing their largest weekly total of 2026. The previous week saw roughly $392 million in net outflows, representing a swing of approximately $3 billion in a single week.
The momentum masks a broader headwind. Despite this blockbuster week, both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs remain negative on a year-to-date basis, currently tracking toward their first full year of net outflows since inception. One strong week doesn't erase months of redemptions, but it does signal renewed conviction among investors holding these products.
