- Bitcoin ETFs saw $90.6M inflows on Oct 24, led by Fidelity’s FBTC ($57.9M) and BlackRock’s IBIT ($32.7M), ending a 5-day outflow streak and boosting Bitcoin’s price to $111,633. - Ethereum ETFs showed volatility, with $246M inflows on Oct 28 but $126M outflows the prior day, reflecting shifting institutional preferences toward Bitcoin as a stable store of value. - ETFs now hold 6.78% of Bitcoin’s $1.49T market cap vs. 5.55% for Ethereum, driven by Bitcoin’s deflationary model and growing gold correlation

On October 24, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $90.6 million in new investments, primarily fueled by institutional interest, with Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock's

taking the lead. This surge, following a brief market pullback, reflects renewed optimism in the crypto sector, as reported by . The inflows broke a five-day streak of outflows and helped lift Bitcoin’s value to $111,633, a 0.79% gain, while assets under management (AUM) for spot ETFs climbed to $149.96 billion. Fidelity’s FBTC contributed $57.92 million, and BlackRock’s IBIT brought in $32.68 million, underscoring their strong presence in institutional crypto investments.

The positive trend persisted on October 28, with Bitcoin ETFs seeing $202.48 million in inflows. However,

ETFs outshined Bitcoin, posting $246.02 million in net inflows, according to . Fidelity’s FETH led Ethereum ETF inflows at $99.27 million, while BlackRock’s ETHA followed with $76.37 million. The day before, though, Ethereum ETFs experienced a net outflow of $126.26 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for $106.53 million in withdrawals, as detailed by . These fluctuations highlight the evolving relationship between Bitcoin and Ethereum in institutional portfolios, with Bitcoin increasingly perceived as a reliable store of value amid economic uncertainty, a trend previously noted by TradingNews.

Bitcoin News Update: Bitcoin ETFs Strengthen

Bitcoin’s rebound—an increase of nearly 8% from its October 11 low of $103,000—has been supported by liquidity from ETFs. Currently, ETF holdings make up 6.78% of Bitcoin’s $1.49 trillion market cap, compared to Ethereum ETFs’ 5.55% share of Ethereum’s $484.8 billion capitalization, as highlighted by TradingNews. Analysts attribute this divergence to Bitcoin’s deflationary supply and its rising correlation with gold (0.76), reinforcing its reputation as “digital gold.” Meanwhile, the outflows from Ethereum suggest that investors are reallocating funds to Bitcoin as a safeguard against currency depreciation and anticipated global rate cuts, another point emphasized by TradingNews.

Regulatory progress is also fueling the ETF surge. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently reviewing 155 cryptocurrency ETF proposals, including those for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets, with approvals expected to speed up after the government shutdown, according to TradingNews. This regulatory clarity, combined with the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance, has accelerated institutional adoption. BlackRock’s IBIT, with $89.17 billion in AUM, and Fidelity’s FBTC, at $22.84 billion, now lead the industry, reflecting a maturing market where digital assets are becoming a staple in traditional investment portfolios, as detailed by TradingNews.

Market data further illustrates the stabilizing impact of ETFs. Bitcoin’s daily volatility has dropped from 62% in July to 39% in October, and the price gap between U.S. and European ETF markets has narrowed to less than 0.2%, as observed by TradingNews. Miners have also benefited, with weekly profitability rising 11% as ETF demand absorbs available supply, helping to support prices—another trend identified by TradingNews.

Looking forward, if daily inflows remain above $100 million, Bitcoin could reach $125,000–$130,000 by early November, provided regulatory and economic conditions stay favorable, according to TradingNews. In contrast, Ethereum may face short-term challenges, with analysts cautioning about possible price declines amid outflows and increased competition from layer-2 solutions, a risk previously highlighted by Blockchain News.
