BlackRock-led bitcoin, ether ETFs draw $1.36B inflows

Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds recorded about $1.36 billion in net inflows during the trading week of April 13–17. Bitcoin spot ETFs collected $996.38 million, while ether ETFs added $275.83 million. BlackRock’s IBIT was the largest single recipient, drawing $906.1 million.

The week opened with a $291 million outflow on Monday, driven mainly by redemptions from Fidelity’s FBTC and Ark 21Shares’ ARKB. Flows turned positive from Tuesday onward and peaked on Friday with a $663.91 million inflow. Total net assets across crypto ETFs rose above $100 billion by week’s end.

Ark 21Shares’ ARKB recovered to a $98.5 million inflow for the week. Bitwise’s BITB added $54.1 million. Fidelity’s FBTC posted $103.8 million in net outflows and Grayscale’s GBTC saw $79.7 million of redemptions. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust attracted $39.7 million.

Morgan Stanley’s MSBT extended an inflow streak to eight days, taking in $71.1 million for the week and $133 million since launch. The fund averaged $16.6 million in daily inflows for the period and carries a 14-basis-point fee.

Ether ETFs logged $275.83 million in net inflows and finished the week with seven consecutive positive sessions. BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH accounted for much of the demand, while ETHB and Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust saw steady allocations. Grayscale’s ETHE experienced intermittent outflows during the week.

Smaller-asset ETFs also drew money. XRP products recorded $55.39 million in net inflows, with Bitwise and Franklin funds among the contributors, lifting total assets in the category back above $1 billion. Solana ETFs added $35.17 million, led by late-week demand in Bitwise’s product and contributions from Fidelity’s FSOL.

Across the five trading days, large allocations to IBIT, steady inflows into leading ether funds, and positive flows into XRP and Solana accounted for the roughly $1.36 billion that entered crypto ETFs from April 13–17.
