In comparison, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a whopping $1.11 billion in inflows during the same week, with inflows occurring every day.
This was Bitcoin’s largest weekly inflow since the 19th of July.
Ethereum ETF still lagging behind Bitcoin
The Ethereum ETFs began trading in the U.S. on the 23rd of July, roughly six months after Bitcoin ETFs.
In the five weeks following the launch of Ethereum ETFs, the funds saw net outflows of around $500 million, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of over $5 billion.
Bitcoin’s first-mover advantage is one of the reasons for this disparity.
The excitement surrounding Bitcoin’s ETF launch has driven significant inflows, while ETH’s ETF launch, though promising, has generated less buzz over time.
Additionally, the value difference between the two assets plays a role—Bitcoin holds over 50% of the crypto market cap, while Ethereum holds about 14%.
