While Ether-based funds have seen their fourth straight negative week, Bitcoin ETFs end a five-week net outflow skid.
In the trading week ending March 21, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States ended a five-week net outflow trend.
According to statistics from SoSoValue, Bitcoin BTC$88,386 ETFs had a net influx of $744.4 million, the largest amount in eight weeks, extending their daily inflow streak to six days in a row.

The majority of the inflows, $537.5 million, came from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), but five funds also contributed. With $136.5 million, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) came next.
The fresh inflows follow a period of pessimism for the cryptocurrency market and the world economy as a whole, during which worries about a recession and increasing trade tensions were prevalent.

Bitcoin ETFs had their biggest net inflows of 2025 earlier this year, totaling $1.96 billion in the week ending January 17 and $1.76 billion the week after. The price of Bitcoin (BTC$88,379) reached a record high of $109,000 on January 20, the day of US President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Later, in the midst of the wider market slump, Bitcoin fell into the $78,000 region. According to CoinGecko, the price recovered to $87,343 at the time of writing due to the most recent inflows, which were the highest since January.
This isn’t the case for Ether ETH$2,100 ETFs, which had a four-week run of weekly net outflows.

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) accounted for $74 million of the $102.9 million net outflow from Ethereum funds for the week ending March 21.
At the time of writing, Ether ETH$2,099 was trading at $2,090, up from less than $2,000, which it had dropped below for the first time in more than a year.
Ethereum did see some improvement, however, as institutions kept increasing their exposure to the commodity.

According to Token Terminal, BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, which mostly invests in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), now has a record $1.15 billion in Ether, up from about $990 million a week ago. The new ETH infusion shows that the biggest asset manager in the world is becoming more convinced that Ethereum is the best platform for tokenizing real-world assets.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index increased to 45% from 32% the previous week, reflecting an improvement in market attitude toward cryptocurrencies.
QCP Capital, an investment company located in Singapore, cautioned against assuming a sustained breakout will occur.
In a market study released on March 24, QCP Cap said that “imminent tariff escalations scheduled for April 2 could once again put pressure on risk assets.”
