Bitcoin ETF Inflows - BTC-USD at $113,600 as $246M Inflows Reverse to $363M Outflows

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge and Reverse: Institutional Pressure Shapes BTC-USD Outlook

Ethereum ETFs Steal the Spotlight With $534M Inflows

While Bitcoin funds saw redemptions, Ethereum ETFs quietly recorded $534 million in daily inflows, their third-best performance since launch. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF drew $363 million in one day, and Fidelity’s FETH has amassed $2.86 billion since debut. Ethereum ETF assets now total $30.54 billion, roughly 5.5% of ETH’s market cap, compared to Bitcoin ETFs’ ~$60.6 billion. This is shifting institutional preference: Ethereum now commands 15% of spot trading volume via ETFs, up from just 3% at launch in November 2024.

XRP Joins the Regulated Arena With XRPR ETF Launch

The ETF wave is not confined to BTC and ETH. XRP (XRP-USD) gained momentum after the Osprey XRPR ETF debuted on Sept. 18, drawing $37.7 million in first-day volume—the strongest U.S. crypto ETF launch of 2025. Within 90 minutes, XRPR crossed $24 million traded, five times more than XRP futures ETFs ever managed. This institutional embrace positions XRP alongside BTC and ETH in the regulated ETF market, boosting its price back near $2.96 with speculative targets of $9.90–$20 flagged by analysts.

Crypto Wealth Explosion: $3.3 Trillion Market Cap and 145,000 Bitcoin Millionaires

ETF flows are directly tied to the broader crypto wealth boom. According to Henley’s September 2025 report, global crypto millionaires rose 40% year-over-year to 241,700, with Bitcoin alone minting 145,100 millionaires, up 70%. Crypto centimillionaires now number 450 (+38% YoY) and billionaires hit 36 (+29% YoY). These figures correspond with ETF inflows: U.S. Bitcoin ETFs surged from $37.3B to $60.6B in assets year-to-date, while Ether ETFs quadrupled to $13.4B.

Federal Reserve Policy Adds Fuel to ETF Dynamics

The Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts amplified volatility across crypto ETFs. While some investors rotated out of Bitcoin ETFs in short-term de-risking, others see looser liquidity as a reason to expand digital asset allocations. Analysts note that returning positive flows within days could drive BTC back above $113,500 resistance toward $120,000, while sustained outflows may retest support at $108,000. Institutional buyers are using ETFs as the primary vehicle for these macro-driven reallocations.
