Despite the impressive inflows, Bitcoin bulls have so far failed to regain their momentum, with BTC trading below the $73,000 mark.
It is worth noting that spot Bitcoin ETFs managed to surpass the much-coveted 1 million BTC mark in less than 10 months.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan recently stated that he expects Bitcoin ETFs to see consistent inflows for years to come just like gold ETFs.
Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs continue to suffer from lackluster demand. Yesterday, BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) recorded zero inflows. Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) recorded $5.6 million in fresh money, barely pushing these products into positive territory.
