These inflows followed a weak August, when the funds recorded $751 million of outflows — their third-worst month since the January launch.
August also saw strong activity in Ethereum-focused products, with spot Ethereum ETFs adding $3.87 billion, their second-best month since debut.
That trend fueled a narrative of “capital rotation,” which contributed to bitcoin sliding to roughly $107,500 at the end of the month.
Ethereum ETFs began September with several days of outflows but returned to positive territory on Tuesday. On Thursday, those ETFs recorded $113.12 million in inflows.
Bitcoin and Ether Prices Bounce Off Lows
Bitcoin traded above $115,000 on Friday and has gained nearly 4% this week after closing above key resistance levels.
Ethereum and Ripple also bounced off recent lows, rising about 5% and 6%, respectively.
Bitcoin started the week facing resistance at its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) around $113,129, but on Wednesday it rose more than 2%, closed above that level and extended gains into Thursday.
At the time of writing, BTC was approaching daily resistance near $116,000. A close above that level could set the stage for further upside toward the psychological $120,000 mark.
Ethereum has consolidated between $4,232 and $4,488 since August 29.
On Friday, Ether approached the top of that range at $4,488. A breakout above that level could pave the way for a rally toward the record high of $4,956.
Market participants are also watching the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting on September 16–17.
