BlackRock’s IBIT ETF dominated inflows, bringing in a remarkable $1.15 billion within one week.
In contrast, spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs have lagged significantly, attracting only $78.89 million as investors continue to show limited interest.
On October 25, IBIT alone secured $291 million in fresh capital, aligning with Bitcoin’s recent price surge to $68,600.
Data indicates that demand for Bitcoin ETFs is driven mainly by retail investors.
Bitcoin (BTC) managed to surge past the price mark of $89,000, as investors flock to the cryptocurrency amidst traditional market turbulence and increasing political uncertainties.

Bitcoin has staged a strong comeback, briefly pushing beyond $87,000 for the first time in weeks as liquidity conditions improve globally and institutional players show signs of renewed appetite, even while concerns around U.S. trade tensions keep broader markets on edge.
