Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced varied inflows and outflows in the final days of September 2024, reflecting shifting institutional interest in cryptocurrency-backed investment products.
On Friday, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a significant inflow of $494.4 million, marking one of the highest single-day totals in recent months.
Arkβs ARKB ETF led the charge with a substantial $203.1 million in new capital. This continued the strong momentum seen earlier in the week when ARKB had also experienced a significant inflow on September 26.
Other major players in the Bitcoin ETF space also saw notable inflows on Friday. Fidelityβs FBTC ETF attracted $123.6 million, while BlackRockβs IBIT ETF brought in $110.8 million.
Bitwiseβs BITB added $12.9 million, and Grayscaleβs GBTC posted $26.2 million in new flows. Smaller inflows were recorded for Invescoβs BTCO, Valkyrieβs BRRR, and VanEckβs HODL, each reporting around $3.3 million. VanEckβs HODL saw an additional $11.2 million in inflows.
However, the momentum slowed on Monday, with Bitcoin ETFs seeing more modest net inflows of $61.3 million. BlackRockβs IBIT ETF continued to attract capital with $72.2 million in inflows, but this was partly offset by outflows from other funds.
Bitwiseβs BITB and Arkβs ARKB ETFs saw withdrawals of $9.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Fidelityβs FBTC ETF also experienced a slowdown, adding only $8.3 million.
The Ethereum ETF market followed a similar pattern of mixed performance. On September 27, total inflows reached $58.7 million, with Fidelityβs FETH ETF leading the pack at $42.5 million.
BlackRockβs ETHA brought in $11.5 million, while Bitwiseβs ETHW and Invescoβs QETH added $5.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
However, Grayscaleβs ETHE ETF posted outflows of $10.7 million, which were partially offset by $2.3 million in inflows to Grayscaleβs mini ETH fund.
The situation for Ethereum ETFs changed on September 30, with minor overall outflows totaling $0.8 million. This was primarily driven by $11.8 million in outflows from Grayscaleβs ETHE fund. BlackRockβs ETHA ETF added a modest $11 million, helping to balance the outflows.
Other Ethereum ETFs reported no significant activity, suggesting a quiet start to the week for institutional interest in Ethereum-backed products.

The substantial inflows into Bitcoin ETFs on Friday highlighted continued institutional confidence in the leading cryptocurrency.
Ark and Fidelityβs products were particularly popular among investors. The cooler market reaction on Monday could indicate short-term profit-taking or reallocation as investors positioned themselves for the new week.
For Ethereum ETFs, the picture was more mixed. Despite strong inflows on September 27, the market saw outflows by the end of the month.
Grayscaleβs ETHE fund continued to experience withdrawals, which weighed on the overall market sentiment for Ethereum-backed funds.
These fluctuations in ETF flows provide insight into institutional investorsβ short-term sentiment towards Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The stronger performance of Bitcoin ETFs suggests that institutions may currently view Bitcoin as a more attractive investment compared to Ethereum. However, itβs important to note that short-term flows can be influenced by various factors and may not necessarily indicate long-term trends.
