According to @MilkRoadDaily, ETH ETFs have recorded higher net inflows than BTC ETFs for the fourth consecutive day (source: @MilkRoadDaily). According to @MilkRoadDaily, this divergence comes despite BTC’s market capitalization being roughly 4.3 times larger, indicating comparatively stronger near-term demand for ETH ETF exposure (source: @MilkRoadDaily). According to @MilkRoadDaily, the sustained inflow advantage is a trading-relevant signal for ETH/BTC relative momentum and rotation monitoring (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), more than 1,300 ETFs have launched since 2024, with crypto dominating the new issuance landscape (source: Milk Road on X). According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), the top 4 newly launched ETFs are crypto-related and 10 of the top 20 are crypto-related (source: Milk Road on X). According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), among these leaders, 5 are tied to BTC, 3 to ETH, and 2 to MSTR (source: Milk Road on X). According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), this composition shows institutional buyers are accumulating Bitcoin and some Ethereum through ETF products (source: Milk Road on X).

According to @KobeissiLetter, spot Ether ETFs recorded a single-day record of $1 billion in net inflows on Monday, highlighting strong demand for ETH exposure (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X). The same update adds that Bitcoin ETFs saw $178 million in net inflows that day, citing ZeroHedge as the underlying data source (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X, citing ZeroHedge). Based on those figures, ETH ETF net inflows were approximately 5.6 times BTC ETF net inflows for the session, underscoring a relative flow tilt toward ETH over BTC that day (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X). Since May, these funds have accumulated more than $8 billion in net inflows, indicating sustained capital allocation into crypto ETFs over the period reported (source: The Kobeissi Letter on X).

According to Lookonchain, across 10 Bitcoin ETFs, aggregate net flow on Aug 12 was +1,586 BTC, equivalent to +$189.72M (source: Lookonchain, Aug 12, 2025). iShares (BlackRock) reported inflows of 1,158 BTC worth +$138.58M and currently holds 743,609 BTC valued at $88.97B (source: Lookonchain, Aug 12, 2025). Across 9 Ethereum ETFs, aggregate net flow on Aug 12 was +231,717 ETH, or +$1.03B (source: Lookonchain, Aug 12, 2025). iShares (BlackRock) recorded +149,168 ETH of inflows totaling $663.05M among ETH products (source: Lookonchain, Aug 12, 2025).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, most new crypto inflows are institutional rather than retail, pushing capital into public-market proxies like BTC spot ETFs, MicroStrategy MSTR, and Coinbase COIN due to frictions moving capital on-chain (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 10, 2025). According to @MilkRoadDaily, this institutional preference helps explain why BTC ETFs, MSTR, and COIN have recently outperformed, making ETF net flows and equity beta to BTC key trading indicators (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 10, 2025). According to @MilkRoadDaily, ETH treasury companies could be the next focus as institutions seek scalable exposure, implying potential rotation toward equities with ETH on balance sheets when execution rails improve (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 10, 2025).

According to Crypto Rover, Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are significantly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, as shown in recent comparative performance data shared on June 15, 2025 (source: Crypto Rover Twitter). This trend highlights increased institutional and retail investor interest in ETH over BTC, signaling a potential shift in market momentum. For traders, this outperformance suggests strong bullish sentiment for ETH-related products and may prompt a reassessment of portfolio allocations towards Ethereum ETFs. Monitoring the continued divergence in ETF flows and price action could provide actionable trading opportunities as ETH asserts leadership in the crypto ETF market.

According to Cas Abbé, investment giant Fidelity has filed to add staking for ETH ETFs, a feature that distinguishes ETH ETFs from BTC ETFs. While an immediate massive price surge is not expected, this development is anticipated to serve as a catalyst for the next upward market movement.

According to Miles Deutscher, the reflexivity of BTC ETFs influenced market movements in both directions during last week's crash, exacerbating volatility. This highlights the significant role of ETFs in market dynamics, where increased trading volumes led to rapid price fluctuations. Deutscher notes that investor reactions through ETFs contributed to the intensity of the downward pressure on Bitcoin prices, while also amplifying subsequent rebounds when buying resumed.

According to @CCData_io, key developments in the crypto market include the U.S. government transferring nearly $600 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) from the Silk Road case to Coinbase. Additionally, Bitwise CIO reports that institutional investors continued to adopt BTC ETFs in Q2. Senator Schumer has also committed to pro-crypto legislation if Harris wins the U.S. presidency.
