Bitcoin ETF Inflows Reach $3.1B as Ether Funds Turn Red

US spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their net inflow streak to nine trading days. The products took in $66.2 million on Tuesday, bringing the run to roughly $3.1 billion, according to SoSoValue data reported by Cointelegraph.

That persistence matters. Bitcoin's ETF demand has remained positive even as the coin traded at about $83,567, down 0.4% over 24 hours.

Ether ETFs break a seven-day run

Ether ETFs moved in the opposite direction. They recorded $2.81 million in net outflows on September 29, ending a seven-session streak worth about $850.8 million.

The reversal was small. BeInCrypto reported that BlackRock's ETHA had the largest outflow at $8.94 million, while Grayscale's Ethereum Mini Trust received $12.83 million. Other inflows kept the group close to flat.

It still marks a change in direction. The week ending September 25 had produced Ethereum's strongest ETF week since late August, with $689.88 million of net inflows.

One outflow does not erase the larger trend

Ether ETFs ended September with $17.79 billion in net assets. That was equal to 5.45% of Ethereum's market capitalization at the time. They had also attracted $979.69 million over 30 days.

The latest outflow was a pause, not a reversal of that longer trend. More sessions are needed to show whether selling remains concentrated in ETHA or spreads across other issuers.

Bitcoin's picture was stronger. Its ETFs drew roughly $3.08 billion over nine consecutive sessions, while Bitcoin fell 3.78% over the week to $83,359, according to BeInCrypto.

The gap between ETF flows and the underlying prices shows that ETF demand did not translate directly into near-term gains. Capital continued entering Bitcoin products, but that buying did not prevent a weekly decline.

Institutional demand is stronger for Bitcoin

The measured divergence is clear. Bitcoin ETFs have sustained inflows for nine days. Ether ETFs ended a seven-day run, though the net outflow was modest.

Ethereum's larger flow history still matters. Its seven-day streak began after three sessions of withdrawals totaling about $404.8 million. The strongest session arrived on September 21 with $269.98 million, before daily inflows eased to $17.1 million by September 28.

The coming Ethereum flow data will show whether Tuesday's outflow was isolated. For now, the evidence points to steadier institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure and a short-term pause in Ethereum demand.
