BTC ETFs Post Inflows Despite Final-Day Drop
U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively held 1,153,832 BTC as of April 30, valued at $109.48 billion. The largest holder, iShares by BlackRock, recorded a 1-day inflow of 2,273 BTC and a 7-day net gain of 25,430 BTC. In Lookonchain’s ETFs update, the firm noted a total daily net inflow of 1,366 BTC worth $127.53 million.
Other ETF players showed mixed flows across the same period. Fidelity’s FBTC saw a one-day outflow of 65 BTC but gained 1,484 BTC over the week. ARK 21Shares dropped 140 BTC in 24 hours but ended with a weekly net gain of 14 BTC.
Despite these movements, April’s momentum remained intact for BTC ETFs. From mid-April, steady green bars on the capital flow chart highlighted robust investor confidence. Net assets climbed from under $90 billion to $108.58 billion by April 30, supported by a rising BTC price that hit $94,152.01.
ETH ETF Holdings Contract as Outflows Persist
Ethereum ETFs tracked a more cautious tone with reduced investor activity and lower capital inflows. According to data from Sosovalue, daily net outflows reached $2.36 million while total net assets settled at $6.17 billion. Fidelity’s FETH led inflows with 13,988 ETH in one day and a 7-day addition of 33,972 ETH.
In contrast, Grayscale’s ETHE lost 79 ETH in a single day and 4,295 ETH over the week. ETH price sat at $1,786.69, trailing its earlier highs, while ETH ETF holdings totaled 3,461,757 ETH. Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust gained 19,579 ETH for the week but remained under pressure from wider sell-offs.
Stakeholders are also evaluating broader implications for Ethereum-based fund exposure. Market conditions have prompted a new wave of strategies as red bars still dominate ETH flow charts. Net assets have declined sharply from the mid-period peak of over $14 billion to current levels.
Capital Movement Confirms Price Correlation Trends
The divergence in BTC and ETH ETF flows continues to affirm strong capital-price alignment. Bitcoin’s rising inflows correspond with increased price activity and investor reallocation. In April, several consecutive inflow days exceeded $500 million, confirming renewed market optimism.
ETH, by contrast, still reflects sustained outflows dating back months. Although recent green bars signal limited recovery, capital flight remains a central concern. Investors remain cautious, especially as Ethereum ETFs struggle to regain prior valuation highs.
