- Bitcoin spot ETFs logged 10,430 BTC in net inflows, setting a new record since early 2017 and indicating institutional reaccumulation.
- ARKB, FBTC, and IBIT contributed over 75% of Bitcoin inflows, showing focused confidence in key crypto ETF issuers.

The U.S. spot Ethereum and Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted their year-to-date single biggest net inflows on April 22, 2025. As reported by CryptoPatel, there was a significant amount of institutional inflows, with the ETFs of both Bitcoin and Ethereum seeing 10,430 BTC worth ($912.7 million) and 24,580 ETH worth ($38.8 million) flowing as of writing.
Bitcoin ETFs Lead with Robust Institutional Demand
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their highest daily net inflow since early 2017, driven by strong interest from institutional investors. According to sosovalue data, ARK 21Shares (ARKB) led the inflow by total BTC, receiving 3,050 BTC valued at $267.1 million. This was followed by Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw 2,900 BTC inflows totaling $253.8 million.
IBIT, another key player, registered 2,210 BTC worth $193.5 million. These three ETFs collectively contributed over 75% of the total inflows, underlining investor trust in these funds. The data suggests that these vehicles are among the preferred instruments for institutional exposure to Bitcoin.
Mid-tier performers such as BITB and GBTC added 877 BTC ($76.7 million) and 744 BTC ($65.1 million), respectively. Despite GBTC’s transition from a trust to a spot ETF, its inflows show it remains competitive. Meanwhile, funds like BTC, BTCO, and EZBC attracted modest inflows ranging from 121 to 241 BTC. HODL brought in 74 BTC ($6.5 million), while BRRR and BTCW recorded no inflows.
Ethereum ETFs Record Concentrated but Strong Accumulation
Ethereum ETFs also saw a rise in investor interest, led primarily by Fidelity’s FETH, which added 20,710 ETH worth $32.7 million. This ETF alone accounted for more than 84% of the total ETH inflow, indicating dominant investor focus. A tweet from CryptoPatel confirmed Fidelity’s accumulation of Ethereum during the day’s session.
ETHW followed with a distant second-place inflow of 3,860 ETH ($6.1 million). Other Ethereum-based ETFs including EZET, CETH, ETHE, ETHA, ETH, QETH, and ETHV registered no inflows. The absence of activity in these funds could reflect market consolidation toward established issuers or differences in management strategies and fees.
Despite the uneven distribution, the aggregate inflow of 24,580 ETH shows there is broad institutional readiness to engage with Ethereum-focused products.
Zero Outflows Reflect Strong Holding Sentiment
Across both asset classes, no ETF reported outflows for the day. This suggests that institutional investors are not only entering the market but choosing to hold positions. With Bitcoin trading above $93,000 for the first time in 51 days, the trend points to renewed confidence.
The data reinforces the growing role of ETFs in crypto markets. As institutions increase their allocations, spot ETF inflows are becoming a barometer of broader financial engagement with digital assets.
