Ethereum outpaces Bitcoin with $6B ETF inflow – Is the flippening back?

ambcryptoОпубликовано 2025-10-19Обновлено 2025-10-20

Key Takeaways

Why is Ethereum gaining attention from institutional investors?

Because ETH fund holdings surged 145% after spot ETF approvals and growing DeFi interest.

How does Ethereum compare to Bitcoin in recent institutional inflows?

While Bitcoin inflows were steady, Ethereum saw an explosive $6B ETF surge.

Over the past year, institutional inflows into Ethereum [ETH] have jumped by a massive 145%, easily outpacing Bitcoin’s [BTC] numbers.

With spot altcoin ETFs on the way and growing interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), investors appear to be shifting focus.

This time, it looks like Ethereum could be taking the lead.

Big bets on Ethereum’s next chapter

Data from CryptoQuant showed a clear turning point in institutional behavior.

Bitcoin fund holdings climbed gradually from 1.0 million to 1.3 million BTC over the past year — steady, but measured.

Ethereum, on the other hand, saw fund holdings soar from 2.8 million to 6.9 million ETH, a massive 145% jump.

The surge started after the summer 2025 spot ETH ETF approvals. New products and growing DeFi use pushed investors to shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum’s faster-growing ecosystem.

Bitcoin ETFs saw consistent inflows through most of 2024, adding $3.77 billion in October and lifting total assets to nearly $144 billion. However, while BTC’s net inflows were steady, Ethereum’s were explosive.

After the July 2025 spot ETF approvals, ETH ETFs recorded a massive $6 billion surge, pushing total assets to around $26 billion at a price near $3,800.

BTC/ETH pair shows signs of strength

AMBCrypto previously reported that Ethereum has been showing notable resilience against Bitcoin despite BTC’s strong early Q4 rally.

At the time, ETH was holding a 7.02% net gain versus Bitcoin’s 4.34%, with the ETH/BTC ratio rebounding nearly 9% off its lows near 0.03.

That strength seems to be continuing. After dipping to around 0.034 BTC earlier this month, the pair has now recovered to 0.0366 BTC. Higher trading volumes support the numbers.

With BlackRock reportedly accumulating ETH and on-chain stablecoin inflows adding over $3 billion, the setup indicates sustained institutional rotation that could favor Ethereum in the weeks ahead.

Major Bitcoin Players Drop Over A Billion In Sell-Offs While Euphoria Rocks Retail

Major Bitcoin holders engaged in significant sell-offs while retail sentiment remained bullish. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw over $1 billion in outflows across consecutive trading days, with its total holdings dropping from a peak near $75.5 billion in mid-May to below $67 billion by May 26. Simultaneously, a Satoshi-era miner moved 2,650 BTC (worth ~$203 million) to over-the-counter desks. Despite this substantial selling pressure from large wallets, Bitcoin's price held above $76,000, supported by apparent retail demand and "dip-buying" sentiment on social media, highlighting a current market divide between institutional actions and retail investor behavior.

Bitcoin Vs. The S&P: How The Stock Market Predicts The BTC Bottom Before the Rally

Analyst Chain Mind correlates Bitcoin's bottom with the S&P 500's performance, noting BTC has historically not bottomed before the stock market. With the S&P 500 still reaching new all-time highs without a significant retrace, Chain Mind argues Bitcoin's final low is likely not yet in. He suggests the S&P is showing classic topping signals, implying a market dump is imminent, which would precede a BTC bottom. Further analysis points to Bitcoin potentially forming a Head-and-Shoulders topping pattern on charts. Analyst Colin notes a break below the pattern's neckline could target $65,000 or lower. Chain Mind also observes a weekly Head-and-Shoulders, expecting a dump to mark a final bottom around $50,000. Currently, Bitcoin trades around $75,500, down over 24 hours.

Mystery Bitcoin Whale Dumps $1.3B In BlackRock’s IBIT As Market Barely Blinks

An unidentified entity sold approximately $1.3 billion worth of shares in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, in a large dark pool block trade on Tuesday morning. ETF analysts, including Galaxy's Alex Thorn and Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas, confirmed the unprecedented 29-million-share transaction. Notably, the market absorbed the massive sale with minimal price disruption to IBIT. This sale occurs amid a broader trend of significant outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Recent weeks have seen over $2.5 billion in net outflows, with IBIT itself accounting for $1.008 billion in outflows during the May 18–22 period. Analysts suggest the sustained selling pressure, despite the market's resilience, may indicate institutional skittishness in a rising inflation and interest rate environment. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading around $75,730.

Retail Investors' 'Lead Brother' Serenity vs. Newly Minted Stock God Leopold: How Are the Two Top Hunters Mining AI's 'Physical Limits'?

The article profiles two prominent figures, Serenity and Leopold Aschenbrenner, who are gaining attention for their unconventional investment strategies focused on the physical constraints of the AI boom, moving beyond mainstream software narratives. Serenity, an anonymous online trader, advocates a "shiso leaf" theory. He targets small-cap companies with monopolies on critical, overlooked components in the AI hardware supply chain, such as specific semiconductor materials. His deep, technical analysis of bottlenecks in areas like co-packaged optics (CPO) has reportedly yielded massive returns, though his anonymity and focus on illiquid micro-cap stocks pose significant risks for followers. Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI researcher, founded a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. His macro thesis argues that physical infrastructure—power grids, land, data centers—is the true bottleneck for AI growth, lagging far behind chip production. Consequently, his fund employs an infrastructure arbitrage strategy: heavily investing in storage and compute infrastructure companies while placing massive bearish bets (put options) against major semiconductor stocks, betting their valuations will correct as physical constraints become apparent. While their methods differ—Serenity drills into microscopic supply chain details, while Leopold takes a macroscopic, infrastructure-focused view—both share a core belief: the real power and investment alpha in the AI era lie in controlling scarce physical resources, not just software. The article concludes by noting the inherent risks in both approaches, such as liquidity issues for micro-caps and timing risks for macro bets, but suggests they signal a broader market re-evaluation of AI's foundational assets.
