Bitcoin ETFs Record $524M Inflows as Ethereum Faces $107M Outflow

Bitcoin ETFs continued to attract strong institutional inflows this week. While Ethereum ETFs suffered a sharp pullback. According to data shared by Wu Blockchain and SoSoValue, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $524 million in net inflows on November 11. Whereas Ethereum ETFs saw $107 million in outflows. This marks a stark divergence between the two leading cryptocurrencies. The data highlights a growing institutional preference for Bitcoin exposure. Even as broader market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty persist.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Institutional Lead

Bitcoin’s dominance in institutional portfolios showed no signs of slowing. Total cumulative inflows into U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have now reached $60.49 billion. This represents a major milestone in the year-long growth of these products. The day’s inflows were led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which alone attracted $224 million. The highest single-day intake among all issuers. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $166 million, while Ark 21Shares’ ARKB added another $102 million.

Other funds such as Grayscale’s BTC, Bitwise BITB, and VanEck’s HODL also recorded modest inflows or held steady. Collectively, total net assets across all Bitcoin ETFs stood at $137.83 billion. This represents about 6.7% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization. This surge reflects how institutional investors continue viewing Bitcoin as the primary crypto asset for long-term allocation. Especially amid expectations of a potential U.S. interest rate cut in early 2026.

Ethereum ETFs See Outflows Across the Board

In contrast, Ethereum ETFs had a rough trading day. On November 11, all nine Ethereum spot ETFs recorded net outflows totaling $107 million, with none registering a single inflow. The data suggests a short-term loss of confidence among investors following recent price volatility. Also, uncertainty around Ethereum’s fee model and staking dynamics.

Analysts believe that Ethereum’s weaker institutional demand compared to Bitcoin stems from its more complex regulatory positioning. Additionally, lack of a clear monetary narrative. However, long-term interest in Ethereum’s network capabilities and smart contract ecosystem remains strong among venture and DeFi investors.

Solana ETFs Continue Their Winning Streak

Interestingly, Solana spot ETFs extended their streak of inflows for the 11th consecutive day, adding $7.98 million on November 11. The consistent demand underscores Solana’s emergence as one of the most actively accumulated altcoin assets in the ETF landscape this quarter. With cumulative inflows over the past two weeks. Solana continues to attract attention for its high-speed blockchain performance and rising developer adoption. Even as the broader crypto market trades sideways.

Bitcoin’s Institutional Grip Strengthens

The clear divergence between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows signals a broader market realignment. Bitcoin remains the top institutional choice. It serves as a hedge against economic uncertainty and an anchor for digital asset portfolios. 

As of mid-November, total assets across U.S. Bitcoin ETFs surpassed $137 billion. This confirms that traditional finance continues to pour capital into Bitcoin at a record pace. Even while altcoin products face mixed momentum. With interest rates, ETF approvals, and macro shifts all in play. However, one thing is certain: institutional investors are betting on Bitcoin to lead the next phase of crypto’s mainstream adoption.
