The exchange-traded funds (ETFs) landscape over the past week, from 20 April to 24 April, was mostly in inflows.
Starting with the Spot Bitcoin [BTC] ETF, which started the week strong, recording $238.4 million in inflows on 20 April. On this day, BlackRock’s IBIT recorded maximum inflows worth $256 million, whereas Grayscale’s GBTC recorded outflows worth $24.9 million.
Bitcoin ETFs performance analysis
Moving ahead on 21 April, Spot BTC ETFs recorded minimal inflows worth $11.8 million. Though IBIT recorded inflows worth $39.3 million, the outflows seen by Fidelity’s FBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, Ark Invest’s ARKB, VanEck’s HODL, and Grayscale’s GBTC were enough to dismiss IBIT’s inflows.
However, on 22 April, cumulative BTC ETFs saw inflows worth $335.8 million, in which, as expected, IBIT recorded maximum inflows worth $246.9 million.
On 23 April, the BTC ETF saw inflows worth $223.3 million. And yet, GBTC saw zero flows on that day.
By the end of the week, however, inflow strength had weakened as the BTC ETF recorded inflows worth $14.4 million. On this day, most asset managers had seen zero flows.
Did the Spot Ethereum ETF mirror the same pattern?
Spot Ethereum [ETH] ETFs almost followed a similar trend to that of the BTC ETFs. On 20 April, ETH ETFs saw inflows worth $67.8 million, in which BlackRock’s ETHA recorded $76.1 million. On the contrary, Grayscale’s ETHE saw outflows worth $17.1 million.
