The momentum began in mid-July when ETH prices reversed a year-to-date lag against BTC and jumped to double-digit gains. Since then, Ethereum funds have consistently dominated, logging $7.1 billion in net inflows compared to just $505 million for Bitcoin ETFs during that period.

Bitcoin funds, which pulled in $6 billion in July, have stumbled in August with over $620 million in outflows, while Ethereum’s steady inflows mark the largest performance gap between the two since the ETFs went live in July 2024. Over the past two months, Ethereum products have attracted $9.5 billion versus Bitcoin’s $5.4 billion, though BTC ETFs still lead in lifetime flows at $54.6 billion against ETH’s $13.7 billion.

Trading Flows Tell the Story

Ethereum’s run briefly cooled on Thursday when Bitcoin ETFs reclaimed the daily inflow crown, led by Ark Invest’s ARKB with $79.8 million and BlackRock’s IBIT with $63.7 million. Still, Ethereum wasn’t far behind, with BlackRock’s ETHA topping all ETH inflows at $67.6 million.

While Bitcoin funds still command slightly higher daily trading volumes, Ethereum ETFs have closed the gap — even overtaking them on some sessions, with Thursday’s activity showing $2 billion for ETH products compared to $2.5 billion for Bitcoin ETFs.

Analysts Weigh In

Despite ETFs absorbing more than double Bitcoin’s daily issuance, BTC remains range-bound near $111,000. Analysts point to waning spot conviction as a factor, while ETH’s slip below $4,500 has raised short-term concerns. Still, the sharp divergence in ETF inflows highlights a shift in investor appetite, suggesting Ethereum’s role in institutional portfolios is strengthening as summer ends.
