The fund’s current total holdings stand at $61.38 billion, extending its lead among U.S. listed Bitcoin ETFs. IBIT also recorded $3.85 billion in daily trading volume with nearly 57.8 million shares exchanged, bringing its net assets to $90.87 billion. BlackRock has been one of the top investor choices due to its size, liquidity, and reputation, which helps the fund stay competitive in the growing Bitcoin ETF market. IBIT charges a relatively low fee of 0.25%.

Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) ranked second in daily inflows with $179 million on October 1.

Even Grayscale flagship GBTC, which has had a streak of outflows, posted a $9.22 million net inflow. The latest inflow for GBTC marked a slight reversal for the fund, which still carries a cumulative outflow of $24.13 billion since converting from a trust earlier this year.

Ethereum spot ETF net inflows hit $80.9M

According to Farside’s analysis, US Ethereum spot ETFs recorded total net inflows of $80.9 million on October 1st, led by FETH with $36.8 million and ETHA with $26.2 million. ETH took in $14.3 million, and ETHE added $3.6 million.

Ethereum spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $80.9 million on October 1, showing a continued institutional interest in the Ethereum blockchain. Farside Investors’ analysis revealed that the surge was concentrated in a few ETFs, reinforcing investor preference for scale and liquidity.

Among the top performers, Fidelity’s FETH attracted $36.8 million, while BlackRock’s ETHA followed with $26.2 million. Smaller contributions came from Grayscale’s ETHE, with $3.6 million, and VanEck’s ETH, with $14.3 million.

Ethereum continues to strengthen its ecosystem through ongoing network upgrades and its central role in decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenization initiatives. Renewed appetite for ETH ETFs reflects growing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term utility, with institutional investors viewing the asset as a complement to Bitcoin in diversifying their digital asset portfolios.

Ethereum token Ether recorded a 2.15% gain, trading at $4,390.40 at the time of publication, showing a strong rebound from the previous dip below $4,000. Ethereum’s market cap stands at $529.46 billion, representing a 0.76% gain over the past month with $44.37 billion in 24-hour trading volume.
