Etherereum won two days in a row in the ETF war

For the second day in a row, the ETF backed by Ethereum attracted more capital than those linked to Bitcoin, with 403 million dollars in incoming flows against 363 million. A strong signal, which perhaps marks a turning point in the preferences of institutional investors. Are we witnessing a tilting of the order established on the Crypto market?

Blackrock leads the charge, Ethereum wins its letters of nobility

On Friday July 18, 2025, the ETF Crypto recorded a massive influx of capital, totaling $ 766 million over the day. But for the second time in 48 hours, it was the Ether who took the ascendant on Bitcoin, confirming a new dynamic and far from being harmless.

With $ 402.5 million in incoming flowsETHEREUM ETHERE imposed themselves in front of their Bitcoin equivalents, which attracted 363.45 million. This tilting is not a simple course accident: it reflects a strategic repositioning of institutional investors.

At the top of this wave, BlackRock plays a driving role. Son ETF Etha alone captured nearly $ 395 million, more than 98 % of the new capital allocated to Ethereum products. A demonstration of strength which confirms the rise in power of the asset management giant in this segment.

Behind, other heavy goods vehicles complete the table: Grayscale, with Ether Mini Trust, recorded $ 65 million in entries, while Bitwise and Vaneck attracted 13 million and 2.6 million respectively.

Only two products, Feth de Fidelity (-45 million $) and the historic Ethe de Grayscale (-28 million), suffered capital outlets, without calling into question the overall upward trend.

This upward dynamic is accompanied by a spectacular leap in the volume of transactions on ETF Ethereum, which now reaches $ 2.80 billion. As for the cumulative net assets, it amounts to 18.37 billion – a historic summit for this category of assets launched less than a year ago.

Bitcoin resists but loses its institutional monopoly

Bitcoin displays a halftone assessment. The Ibit of Blackrock is doing well with 496.75 million dollars collected. But this individual performance is not enough to hide the difficulties of the sector.

The GBTC de Grayscale undergoes massive outings (-81.29 million dollars). ARKB (-33.61 million), FBTC (-17.94 million) and BitB (-1.92 million) complete this mixed table. The only BTCW of Wisdomtree joins Blackrock in the camp of winners with $ 3.11 million in entries.

Despite these turbulence, Bitcoin retains its firepower. The volume of exchanges reached $ 4.62 billion. The net assets are maintained at 152.40 billion, eight times more than Ethereum. The King of the Cryptos keeps his crown, but his subjects are starting to look at elsewhere.

This redistribution reveals a profound change in the institutional market. Bitcoin is no longer the only sesame towards the Crypto universe. Ethereum seduced by its versatility: decentralized applications, smart contracts, stablecoins. A technological wealth that speaks to investors looking for diversification.

The movement is part of a substantive trend. The domination of Bitcoin is growing week after week. It increased from 65.5% to 61% in only seven days. This rotation of capital to altcoins could announce the famous “Altseason” long awaited by traders.
