BlackRock’s IBIT led the charge with a $157.6 million inflow, its largest since July 29. Fidelity’s FBTC saw an inflow of $65.2 million, the first since July 26, while Ark’s ARKB and WisdomTree’s BTCW recorded inflows of $32.8 million and $118.5 million, respectively. However, Grayscale’s GBTC experienced a significant outflow of $182.9 million, the largest since April 8.

Ethereum

In contrast, Ethereum ETFs experienced a $2.9 million outflow. Grayscale’s ETHE saw reduced outflows of $19.8 million, while BlackRock’s ETHA registered an inflow of $11.7 million. Despite these figures, total outflows for Ethereum ETFs now stand at $390.6 million, according to Farside data.

Bitcoin ETF options are expected to go live in Q4, potentially driving further market activity.
