On November 25, one of the best inflow days of the month, the momentum of the U.S. crypto ETFs went up again. According to data brought out by CryptoniteUae, there were inflows of 129 million into spot Bitcoin ETFs and 78 million into Ethereum ETFs and this caused the total inflows to push past 207 million in one day. The renewed demand is an indicator that there is an institutional appetite that has risen back after a short cooling off period. The inflows remain biased towards low-fee, institution-friendly investment products, with the large issuers, Fidelity and BlackRock, leading the inflows. The wider crypto market seems to become more stable, and macro volatility decreases, which makes investors more confident.
The biggest inflows had been recorded in spot Bitcoin ETFs. The 129 million increase highlights the great interest of both asset managers and retail investors in the long-term. The cheaper services of BlackRock IBIT and Fidelity FBTC have been popular, and they are still stealing liquidity off the old fund vehicles. According to market analysts, this change is an indication of a structural realignment, as investors choose transparent vehicles, regulated vehicles, and cost-efficient vehicles. The inflow spike is also related to the consistent consolidation of the Bitcoin price in the high-60K area, which supports the opinion that institutional betting is accumulating ahead of the subsequent cycle step.
Ether fund ETFs also performed well, raising $78 million of net inflows. This is even as Ethereum continues to record high demand on staking, settlement structure and institutional tokenization projects. The two issuers still have a strong market share, with BlackRock and Fidelity enjoying strong onboarding processes and growing interest in the expanded use of ETFs. The uniform inflow data means that Ethereum is cementing itself as the second-largest institutional crypto asset. The interest of a market in exposing itself to ETH despite the competition on the ETF products is an indication that the fundamentals of the network are not going away in 2026.
One of the most important developments in the ETF industry is the introduction of XRP ETFs, such as GXRP, introduced by Grayscale on November 24. The price decline to about 2.08 is not detrimental since early adoption has been positive. The successful launch demonstrates the accumulated demand and the interest of investors to the new use of Ripple in cross-border settlement and enterprise banking solutions.
Another change noted in the inflow trend is that investors are abandoning older and higher-fee crypto investment vehicles. Other legacy products like the old trusts of Grayscale still have the outflows since their fee structure ceases to justify the cost. It is likely that this will keep on changing, particularly as additional altcoin ETFs start to enter the market.
