Bitcoin ETFs Attract $88M as Ethereum Flows Stall to Near Zero

Bitcoin retains stable institutional demand as Ethereum ETF flows remain thin and volatile.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded solid inflows on Feb. 20, while Ethereum products drew little new capital. Data shows most demand remains concentrated in a few major issuers. At the same time, monthly trends indicate momentum has slowed since mid-2025. Flow patterns continue to favor Bitcoin over Ethereum in both scale and stability.

IBIT Leads $88M Bitcoin ETF Inflow While Growth Momentum Slows

Bitcoin spot ETFs pulled in $88.04 million in net inflows on Friday, with capital once again clustered around two issuers. BlackRock’s IBIT absorbed $64.46 million, accounting for roughly 73% of daily flows. Fidelity Investments’s FBTC added $23.59 million. All other Bitcoin funds finished flat.

IBIT’s cumulative net inflows now stand at $61.30 billion, reinforcing its dominance within the Bitcoin ETF market. No competing product approaches that scale.

Mid-last year, BTC investment vehicles delivered several strong months with $5 billion to $8 billion in inflows. However, the trend flipped to a sharp multi-billion dollar outflow in November. And this trend continued in the two months that followed. In the current month, these funds continue to run well below earlier expansion phases.

Although cumulative assets remain near record levels, on-chain data shows that growth has cooled. Even so, recent inflows suggest stabilization rather than a fresh wave of acceleration.

Ethereum ETFs Stall as Daily Inflows Barely Reach $17K

While its Bitcoin counterparts posted positive flows, Ethereum spot ETFs painted a weaker picture. Total net inflows on Feb. 20 came in at just $17,210, a fraction of Bitcoin’s $88 million haul.

BlackRock’s ETHA added $1.78 million, while Fidelity Investments’s FETH saw a $2.45 million outflow. 21Shares’s TETH gained $687,000, and other funds were flat. ETHA’s cumulative net inflows now stand at $11.88 billion.

In contrast, Grayscale Investments’s ETHE still carries a historical net outflow of $5.19 billion, showing continued capital rotation away from older structures.

Daily data also points to higher volatility in Ethereum flows. Jan. 30 recorded $252.9 million in outflows. Feb. 11 and Feb. 12 saw $129.2 million and $113.1 million in redemptions, followed by another $130.2 million exit on Feb. 19. A few rebound sessions near $50 million offered relief, but swings remain sharp.

Cumulative Ethereum ETF inflows sit near $11.52 billion, with total net assets around $11.14 billion. By comparison, IBIT alone exceeds $60 billion in cumulative inflows.

Bitcoin Consolidates Institutional Lead as ETH Flows Lack Depth

Bitcoin continues to hold a larger and more stable institutional base, while Ethereum flows remain more reactive to short-term price moves and macro headlines. Recent data shows momentum has cooled for both assets, but volatility in Ethereum ETFs remains noticeably higher.

ETF flows act as a real-time signal of institutional risk appetite. Friday’s inflows confirm capital is still entering Bitcoin products in meaningful size. Ethereum figures, by contrast, point to thinner demand and less consistent allocation. Without steady multi-week accumulation in ETH funds, the gap in institutional adoption between Bitcoin and Ethereum could widen further.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…

He dismissed claims that he had distanced himself from the project as ”utterly preposterous.”The developer said that the reason behind his silence at first was strategic.

The team proceeded to deposit the assets under staking in a multisig hardware wallet that is secure.External security companies were involved in the investigation effort. Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield are collaborating with internal developers to examine the attack and discover vulnerabilities.The project's key concerns are network stability and the protection of user funds, as underlined by the lead developer, Dhairya.
