- US-listed spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew more than $1 billion in net inflows on Monday.
- Spot Ethereum ETFs, which had experienced five consecutive sessions of outflows, turned positive with a net inflow of $547 million.
- Bitcoin ETFs also recorded strong inflows, adding $518 million across 12 products.
US-listed spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted over $1 billion in net inflows on Monday, reversing recent outflow trends and boosting optimism across cryptocurrency markets.
The inflows came as Bitcoin prices briefly surged above $114,000, supported by seasonal factors and renewed accumulation by large holders.
Ethereum ETFs Lead the Rebound
According to SoSoValue, spot Ethereum ETFs, after five straight sessions of outflows, turned positive with a net inflow of $547 million.
Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) led the gains, bringing in $202 million in a single day, followed by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) with $154 million.
The nine Ethereum ETF products now manage a combined $27.5 billion in assets, roughly equivalent to about 5.4% of Ethereum’s circulating market capitalization.
This shift underscores a renewed institutional appetite after a weak September.
Bitcoin ETFs Added $518 Million
Bitcoin ETFs also recorded strong inflows, with $518 million added across all products.
Fidelity’s FBTC received the largest single-day inflow of $299 million, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) followed with $62 million.

Bitcoin Price Dynamics
Bitcoin extended its recovery on Tuesday, rising to $114,776 in the past 24 hours before retreating slightly below $114,000.
The rebound followed a sharp drop below $109,000 last week amid heavy liquidations and the end of the quarterly options cycle, which amplified selling pressure.
Market participants pointed to the seasonal “Uptober” effect — historically strong October performance with an average gain around 20% — as a sentiment booster.
On-chain data indicating renewed accumulation by so-called whales also supported the move.
Despite the renewed momentum in crypto markets, overall sentiment remained cautious as investors monitored political developments in Washington.
US lawmakers faced a Tuesday midnight deadline to reach a funding agreement and avoid a government shutdown.
Without a deal, a shutdown would begin on Wednesday, coinciding with new US tariffs on heavy trucks, pharmaceuticals, and other goods.
Analysts at Bank of America warned that a prolonged shutdown could complicate the Federal Reserve’s policy deliberations ahead of its October 29 meeting by delaying the release of crucial economic data, including the September jobs report.
“If a shutdown extends beyond the Fed meeting, the Fed would have to rely more on private-sector data for policy decisions. In terms of probabilities, we believe this could slightly lower the chance of a rate cut in October,” the bank said.
