Ether ETFs Add $96 Million as Bitcoin Inflows Reach Seventh Day
Momentum is no longer tentative. It is compounding. Crypto ETFs extended their run on Wednesday, April 22, with both bitcoin and ether posting another round of strong inflows. What began as a recovery has now evolved into a sustained trend, marked by consistency across major assets.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded $335.8 million in net inflows, marking a seventh consecutive day of gains. The buying was broad-based, though once again anchored by a familiar leader.
Blackrock’s IBIT dominated with a $246.9 million inflow, accounting for the bulk of the day’s demand. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with a solid $56.7 million, while Bitwise’s BITB added $15.4 million and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB contributed $11.9 million.
Further support came from Morgan Stanley’s MSBT with $11.3 million, Wisdomtree’s BTCW at $6.26 million, and Vaneck’s HODL with $3.9 million. Only one fund moved in the opposite direction. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded a $16.6 million outflow, continuing its steady pattern of redemptions.
Trading volume reached $3.03 billion, with total net assets climbing back above the $100 billion threshold to $100.98 billion. The milestone underscores the scale of the recent rebound.
Ether ETFs matched the momentum with a $96.4 million inflow, extending their streak to 10 consecutive days. The flows were concentrated in fewer funds but remained decisive.
Blackrock’s ETHA led with $53.6 million, followed closely by Fidelity’s FETH at $40.62 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust added $11.37 million, reinforcing steady demand for lower-cost exposure.
There was some offset. Grayscale’s ETHE saw a $9.2 million outflow. Even so, the net result remained firmly positive. Trading volume stood at $813.35 million, with net assets rising to $13.94 billion.
In smaller segments, activity was more measured. XRP ETFs recorded a modest $2.42 million inflow, driven primarily by Bitwise’s product. Trading volume came in at $11.07 million, with net assets reaching $1.09 billion.
Solana ETFs, however, saw no trading activity during the session. Net assets held steady at $887.92 million, reflecting a pause after recent inflow days.
The broader pattern is now clear. Bitcoin continues to attract large-scale institutional flows, Ether is building a steady and consistent inflow streak, and smaller assets are seeing selective participation. The recovery is now full in flow.
