Crypto ETFs Diverge: Ether Scores $288 Million Inflow While Bitcoin Bleeds $194 Million

The mood in crypto ETFs split in two directions on Thursday, Aug. 21. While bitcoin funds extended their losing streak to five days with a $194.32 million exit, ether funds staged a powerful recovery, luring $287.61 million in new inflows. The divergence highlights a growing gap in investor appetite for the two dominant crypto assets.

Ether ETFs posted a strong recovery, with the group attracting a hefty $287.61 million in inflows. This was powered mainly by BlackRock’s ETHA, which brought in $233.59 million. Fidelity’s FETH followed with $28.53 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW added $6.99 million.

Smaller yet steady entries came from Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust (+$6.36 million), ETHE (+$5.92 million), and VanEck’s ETHV (+$6.21 million). Ether trading hit $1.63 billion, with net assets holding at $26.55 billion.

Bitcoin ETFs told a different story. Blackrock’s IBIT led the outflows with a $127.49 million exit. Ark 21Shares’ ARKB shed $43.28 million, and Fidelity’s FBTC lost $31.77 million. A couple of modest gains via $4.97 million into Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust and $3.25 million into Franklin’s EZBC offered little relief. Total trading activity reached $2.85 billion, with net assets slipping to $144.48 billion.

With bitcoin continuing to bleed and ether bouncing back strongly, Thursday’s flows suggest investors may be rotating their risk, dialing back exposure to BTC while leaning into ETH’s growing momentum.
