• Bitcoin ETF inflows see renewed vigor, led by Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT.
• Ethereum ETFs experience no new inflows, with declining trading volume on the 7th of October.

Despite a slow start to October for spot Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs, the market is showing signs of improvement.

According to Farside Investors, BTC ETFs saw notable inflows on the 7th of October, amounting to $235.2 million, marking two consecutive days of positive capital movement.

Fidelity’s leads Bitcoin ETF

Leading the surge was Fidelity’s FBTC ETF, which recorded the highest inflows, drawing in $103.7 million.

Additionally, BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets, recorded a solid $97.9 million in inflows, rebounding from zero activity seen on the 4th of October.

As expected, Bitwise’s BITB gained $13.1 million, Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB attracted $12.6 million, VanEck’s HODL received $5.4 million, and Invesco’s BTCO captured $2.5 million.

However, Grayscale’s GBTC and six other ETFs recorded no new flows on the 7th of October.

That being said, the collective trading volume across all 12 ETFs reached $1.22 billion, showing a steady increase from $1.19 billion on the 4th of October and $1.13 billion on the 3rd of October.

Balchunas had already anticipated this

Remarking on the same, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas recently spotlighted IBIT and FBTC as two standout BTC ETFs of the decade.

He noted their impressive rise to “stud level” status, each amassing over $10 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM).

Bitcoin’s price shows bearish momentum

Unexpectedly, as Bitcoin ETFs capture increased investor attention, BTC’s price has shown some signs of struggle.

Currently trading around $62,497 after a 0.48% drop in the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency remains shy of its recent $66,000 peak.

These developments coincided with a significant legal decision, as the U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear an appeal concerning the ownership of 69,370 Bitcoin initially seized from the Silk Road dark web marketplace.

Ethereum ETF analyzed

Unlike BTC ETFs, U.S. spot Ethereum [ETH] ETFs experienced a pause in activity on the 7th of October, following $7.39 million in inflows last recorded on the 4th October and a $3.2 million in outflows on the 3rd of October.

Alongside this quiet period, trading volume across nine ETH ETFs declined, reaching $118.43 million from the 4th of October’s $148.01 million.

Meanwhile, on the price front, Ethereum was down by 1.35%, trading at $2,436, reflecting the shifting dynamics in the crypto space.
