- U.S.-listed spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin and Ethereum gathered more than $1 billion in net inflows on Monday.
- Ethereum spot ETFs, which had seen outflows for five consecutive sessions, reversed course with $547 million in net inflows.
- Bitcoin ETFs also saw strong inflows, with $522 million added across 12 products.
U.S.-listed spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum attracted over $1 billion in net inflows on Monday, reversing a recent trend of outflows and boosting optimism across the cryptocurrency market.
The inflows were supported by seasonal factors and renewed accumulation by large holders, coming as Bitcoin prices rebounded sharply to above $114,000.
Ethereum ETFs lead the rebound
According to SoSoValue, Ethereum spot ETFs, which had recorded outflows for five consecutive sessions, flipped to net positive with $547 million in inflows.
Fidelity’s Ethereum fund (FETH) led the gains with $220 million in net inflows for the day, followed by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) with $154 million.
Collectively, nine Ethereum ETF products now manage $27.5 billion in assets, representing roughly 5.4% of Ethereum’s circulating market capitalization.
This turnaround highlights renewed interest from institutional investors after a weak September.
Bitcoin ETFs add $518 million
Bitcoin ETFs also posted solid inflows, adding $518 million across the suite of products.
Fidelity’s FBTC attracted the largest one-day inflow at $299 million, while ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) followed with $62 million.

Bitcoin price trend
Bitcoin extended its recovery into Tuesday, rising to as high as $114,776 in the past 24 hours before pulling back just below $114,000.
The rebound follows a drop below $109,000 last week that was amplified by large liquidations and quarterly options expirations, which increased selling pressure.
Market participants pointed to seasonal strength—often referred to as the “up-tober” effect, historically averaging a 20% rise in October—as a factor supporting sentiment.
On-chain data showing renewed accumulation by so-called “whales” also supported the move.
Despite improving momentum in the crypto market, overall sentiment remained cautious as investors monitored Washington’s political developments.
U.S. lawmakers faced a midnight Tuesday deadline to pass a funding agreement to avoid a government shutdown.
Without a deal, a shutdown would begin on Wednesday, coinciding with the implementation of new tariffs on large trucks, pharmaceuticals, and other goods.
Analysts at Bank of America warned that a prolonged shutdown could delay the release of key economic data, including September jobs figures, complicating Federal Reserve policy decisions ahead of its October 29 meeting.
“If a shutdown persists beyond the Fed meeting, the Fed would have to rely on nonpublic data for policy decisions. As a result, the likelihood of a rate cut in October could be slightly reduced, although only modestly,” the analysts said.
