- Bitcoin ETFs saw $936M in inflows, led by ARK, marking the strongest day since January.
- Ethereum ETFs faced $29M in weekly outflows as investors pulled back amid uncertainty.
- BTC price hit $91K with ETF demand rising, trading volume up 15%, and RSI nearing 70.
Cryptocurrency investment products saw a major shift on April 22, 2025, with Bitcoin ETFs absorbing nearly $1 billion in daily net inflows, the largest single-day total since January. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs continued to struggle with capital outflows, reflecting diverging investor sentiment.
Massive Bitcoin Inflows Signal Market Revival
Bitcoin ETFs pulled in a combined 3,485 BTC worth $316.84 million, marking a sharp uptick in investor confidence. ARK 21Shares led the rally, adding 1,325 BTC to its holdings, which now total 47,264 BTC valued at $4.3 billion, according to the report by Lookonchain.
The bullish sentiment was not limited to ARK. BlackRock’s iShares fund added 477 BTC, while Fidelity brought in 1,004 BTC, demonstrating renewed appetite across multiple issuers. Daily ETF flow data suggests a broad-based reversal of the two-week outflow streak seen earlier this month.
Record Weekly Gains and Market Impact
Bitcoin ETFs recorded $936.43 million in inflows on April 22, lifting the week’s total to $1.32 billion. According to a report by SoSoValue, this is the highest daily inflow amount since Trump’s term began, signaling institutional accumulation amid rising BTC prices.
This aggressive capital injection coincided with Bitcoin’s 2.5% price surge to $91,000, driven by ETF demand. At the same time, trading volume rose 15% to $45 billion, while the RSI climbed to 68, approaching overbought levels but remaining in bullish territory.
Ethereum ETFs Continue to Face Pressure
While Bitcoin surged, Ethereum products saw net outflows of 438 ETH, or roughly $746,000, highlighting ongoing investor hesitation. Grayscale’s ETHE was the largest contributor to the decline, with 320 ETH in outflows, pulling its total holdings down to 1,168,985 ETH, according to data from SoSoValue ETH ETFs.
Despite a few signs of positive momentum, Ethereum ETFs continued to lag behind their Bitcoin counterparts. Only two funds, Bitwise and Fidelity, recorded any inflows, signaling a lack of broad-based investor confidence in ETH-related products.
Feedback
Together, Bitwise and Fidelity added a combined $38.74 million, but the overall market for Ethereum ETFs still posted weekly losses totaling $29.4 million. This underscores a persistent trend of capital retreat from Ethereum, even amid growing institutional interest in the broader crypto space.
