Ethereum ETFs on Track for About $4 Billion in August Inflows as Bitcoin Nabs One-Day Lead

A late‑month surge into spot funds tied to ether points to shifting institutional interest.

Overview

  • Bitcoin ETFs took in about $179 million on Aug. 28 versus roughly $39.2 million for ether funds, the first daily flip after a week of ETH-led flows, SoSoValue data show.
  • For the month, Ethereum ETFs are poised to log around $4 billion in net inflows compared with roughly $622 million in net outflows for Bitcoin products, according to The Block and CoinJournal tallies.
  • Since mid-July, cumulative net inflows total about $7.1 billion for ether ETFs versus roughly $505 million for bitcoin ETFs, highlighting a recent rotation in flows.
  • Scale remains lopsided with bitcoin ETFs holding about $145 billion in assets versus roughly $29–29.5 billion for ether, though Thursday trading volumes narrowed to $2.5 billion for BTC funds and $2 billion for ETH.
  • Ether set record highs near $4,950 in late August before pulling back, and on-chain signals such as a roughly 10% weekly drop in Binance’s ETH reserves suggest tighter tradable supply even as near-term volatility persists.
