Both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are working very well, with total trade volume reaching $11.5 billion yesterday. This is roughly the same as Apple’s stock price that day. This is an impressive feat.
ETH is witnessing a fresh flood of corporate interest as Neos’ new “high-paying” ETF signals maintain an institutional influx. Nevertheless, BTC is a bigger player, bringing an impressive trading record and Tradfi buy-in.
The crypto ETF takes off
Although Altcoin ETFs face a lot of delays, products based on Bitcoin and Ethereum have been doing very well recently. They fell temporarily after a record month in July, but there are plenty of important statistics showing how well the comeback is. Eric Bulknath, a Bloomberg ETF analysts have added contexts to help these products perform well.
Yesterday, I traded 11.5b, a combined Spot Ether and Bitcoin ETF. In context, it has roughly the same volume as Apple stock. https://t.co/x7kkhfhpy2

Ethereum’s new hype
So, how did this happen? As last week, prominent researchers argued that the corporate Treasury Department is a better investment than crypto ETFs. Despite this recommendation, these results speak for themselves. In the case of Ethereum ETFs, an important factor is institutional adoption, which begins to receive after Bitcoin has hugged most of it.
In July, Ethereum ETF temporarily outperformed the influx of Bitcoin products, setting the stage for large-scale corporate investments. The Spot ETH ETF is approaching $300 million this week in four days, close to the four-day inflow of $300 million. Neos has applied for a “high income” ETH ETF. This is economically viable thanks to the large influx.
The tokens have recently come close to an all-time high, sparking hope for the Altcoin season. This has led to a surge in corporate investments, and has demonstrated the power of this performance.
Bitcoin continues chugging
While Ethereum ETFs are currently gaining attention, Bitcoin still represents the majority of this transaction. That head start is too important to ignore. BlackRock’s IBIT is the 20th largest ETF in the US market. The Bitcoin ETF has, after all, been institutional support for over a year.
Looking for them, you’ll find many examples of Bitcoin ETF adoption in the Tradfi circle. For example, Harvard has invested in IBIT, and new countries continue to launch Bitcoin ETFs. This morning alone, Wells Fargo and several sovereign wealth farms in Abu Dhabi revealed their own large-scale commitments. Some major players still prefer Bitcoin.
In short, both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are leading this current wave of investment. ETH has attracted attention for its rapid growth, but it is important not to overstate this. In any case, this trend is a bullish signal across the crypto market, especially as more Altcoin ETFs reach the open market.
