From December 8 to 12, 2025, total capital inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs exceeded $490 million. This marks the third week of net inflows for these instruments since mid-October, indicating a gradual recovery in investor interest in cryptocurrency ETFs.
Bitcoin-linked funds contributed the most to this total. According to the SoSoValue analytics platform, they attracted a total of $286.6 million during the reporting period. However, the dynamics were uneven: the key influx occurred on December 10th, when investors invested $223.5 million. Meanwhile, December 8th and 11th saw negative days, with outflows of $60.5 million and $77.3 million, respectively. Despite this, the overall weekly balance remained reliably positive.
Ethereum ETFs also ended the week with significant capital gains. Over five trading days, net inflows into these products reached $208.9 million. The bulk of investments arrived on December 9th, when the funds received $177.6 million. However, the situation changed in the final days of the week: the total outflow over the past two days exceeded $60 million, partially reducing the previously accumulated result. Nevertheless, the final figure remained positive.
Current indicators confirm the continued interest of institutional market participants in regulated cryptocurrency-based investment vehicles. Spot ETFs offer exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum without directly owning the digital assets, making them more attractive to large investors and traditional financial institutions.
Additional attention to the Ethereum ETF segment has been drawn by recent initiatives by major market players. Specifically, BlackRock previously filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to register the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust. The new product offers Ethereum staking, which could open up an additional source of income for investors and increase the long-term appeal of such funds.
Experts note that consecutive weeks of capital inflows may indicate a stabilization of sentiment after the volatile autumn period. If the current trend continues, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs could once again become a key channel for institutional capital inflows into the crypto market, especially amid expectations of monetary easing and growing interest in alternative assets.
