In the week ending August 25, 2025, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced net outflows of approximately $1.17 billion, with BlackRock’s IBIT ETF accounting for $615 million of that total. Ethereum (ETH) ETFs also recorded net outflows of around $238 million, ending a 14-week streak of inflows. However, this trend reversed starting August 26, when Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $184 million and Ethereum ETFs gained $470 million, signaling renewed institutional demand. On August 27, Ethereum ETFs continued to attract substantial daily inflows of $455 million, surpassing Bitcoin ETFs for the second time that week. Over the four-day period ending August 27, Ethereum ETFs accumulated net inflows totaling approximately $1.52 billion, contributing to $3.7 billion in inflows for August and approaching $10 billion since early July. Bitcoin ETFs also recorded inflows during this period, including $88.1 million on August 26 and $81 million on August 28. This week marks the sixth consecutive week where Ethereum ETF inflows have outpaced those of Bitcoin ETFs. Despite a brief outflow of $241 million for Ethereum ETFs last week, Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin, which saw larger ETF outflows. Market data also show Ethereum’s price rallying 8% to break $4,600, while Bitcoin cooled off by 0.7% for the week. Analysts suggest Ethereum’s strength could fuel a broader altcoin rally, with some forecasting a potential price target of $7,000 by year-end.
Last week’s Ethereum outflow of –$241.1M failed to sustain the prior week’s inflows, but ETH still outperformed Bitcoin, which saw –$1.17B in ETF outflows. https://t.co/XsXFfwglgy
