Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs Recorded Over $800 Million In Inflows On Tuesday
By Benzinga
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) spot ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $676 million on Tuesday, marking the fourth consecutive day of inflows.
What Happened: Among the major players, BlackRock‘s IBIT (NASDAQ:IBIT) ETF led with an impressive daily net inflow of $693 million, while Fidelity‘s (CBOE: FBTC) ETF saw a net inflow of $52.2 million, according to data from SoSo Value.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) spot ETFs continued their momentum, registering a total net inflow of $133 million, extending their streak to seven consecutive days.
Fidelity‘s (CBOE: FETH) ETF reported a daily inflow of $73.7 million, closely followed by BlackRock‘s (NASDAQ:ETHA) ETF with $65.3 million.
Meanwhile, digital asset management firm Grayscale Investments has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to convert its existing Grayscale Solana Trust into a spot Solana ETF.
The application, submitted under Rule 19b-4 via NYSE Arca, seeks to provide investors with direct exposure to Solana’s market performance through a traditional stock exchange.
Unlike futures-based ETFs, spot ETFs hold the actual digital assets, offering a closer representation of the underlying market value.
This approach aims to simplify access for both institutional and retail investors, bypassing the complexities of direct cryptocurrency ownership.
The Grayscale Solana Trust currently manages approximately $134.2 million in Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) assets.
Transitioning the trust into an ETF aligns with a growing trend among financial institutions seeking to offer spot ETFs for major cryptocurrencies.
Grayscale already manages Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and the addition of Solana reflects the expanding role of decentralized finance (DeFi) within its portfolio.
What’s Next: The approval of Grayscale’s spot Solana ETF would mark a key milestone for the crypto industry, potentially increasing accessibility and adoption among traditional investors.
