HYPE ETFs Add $2.1 Million as ETF Flows Turn Positive
The recovery in crypto ETFs did not arrive with fireworks. It arrived with consistency.
For a second straight day, bitcoin and ether funds took in capital without a single outflow across their respective lineups. That matters. After weeks of choppy redemptions, the two largest crypto ETF categories are starting to show a cleaner demand profile.
Bitcoin and Ether Inflows Hold Steady
Bitcoin ETFs recorded $107.80 million in net inflows, led once again by Blackrock’s IBIT, which added $80.82 million. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $16.94 million, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust brought in $10.05 million. No bitcoin ETF posted an outflow for the day.
Total bitcoin ETF value traded reached $1.58 billion, while total net assets closed at $78.47 billion. The flow was smaller than Tuesday’s rebound, but it was still a constructive signal. Buyers remained present, and selling pressure stayed absent.
Ether ETFs also finished firmly in the green, adding $53.83 million. Blackrock’s ETHA accounted for most of the inflow with $45.29 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust added $4.58 million, and Blackrock’s ETHB brought in $3.96 million.
Total ether ETF value traded stood at $538.44 million, with net assets closing at $10.40 billion.
HYPE Adds Capital as Solana Slips
HYPE ETFs posted $2.13 million in net inflows, primarily through Grayscale’s HYPG. Total value traded reached $22.07 million, while net assets closed at $346.88 million.
Solana ETFs moved in the opposite direction, losing $707,080. Net assets closed at $895.16 million. XRP ETFs saw no trading activity for the day.
The session also came as Blackrock reported record second-quarter results. The world’s largest asset manager said assets under management reached $15.3 trillion, supported by $192 billion of second-quarter net inflows and record first-half net inflows of $321 billion. Revenue rose 31% year over year, while operating income increased 42%.
Blackrock’s Ishares franchise has also surpassed $6 trillion in assets, reinforcing the firm’s dominant position in the ETF market. Its bitcoin trust remains one of the largest institutional vehicles for spot BTC exposure, with third-party tracker Bitbo placing IBIT holdings at roughly 734,000 BTC earlier this week.
Wednesday’s flows showed a market still rebuilding, but with a stronger base than earlier in the month. Bitcoin and ether demand is no longer being overwhelmed by daily exits, and Blackrock’s continued scale gives the recovery a powerful institutional backdrop.
