ETF Flows
Settled flow data for Wednesday's session shows $273.7 million in net inflows across all spot crypto ETF products, extending the current inflow streak and lifting the seven-day cumulative to $904.9 million. The 30-day cumulative stands at $830.5 million, indicating the past week alone has outpaced the prior month's total — a sharp acceleration in fund demand.
BlackRock's IBIT dominated Wednesday's flow picture, pulling in +$289.6M ↑ — more than the entire day's net total. That gap points to meaningful cross-fund rotation: capital appears to be consolidating into the largest Bitcoin ETF at the expense of smaller competitors.
On the Ethereum side, BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH both attracted fresh capital, suggesting renewed appetite for ETH exposure after a week of strong price recovery.
Top Inflows:
- IBIT (BlackRock): +$289.6M ↑
- FETH (Fidelity): +$38.1M ↑
- ETHA (BlackRock): +$30.8M ↑

The divergence within Bitcoin products is worth watching. IBIT's $289.6 million haul came alongside a combined $111.9 million in redemptions from FBTC, ARKB, and GBTC. That pattern — one dominant fund absorbing while competitors bleed — may signal fee-driven or liquidity-driven consolidation rather than fresh directional conviction across the board. All 39 tracked funds across BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP reported Wednesday, providing full coverage.
Asset Price Analysis
Bitcoin traded at $75,186 heading into Thursday, up 0.5% over the past 24 hours and 4.7% on the week. The price continues to hold above the $74,000 level that served as resistance earlier this month, and the weekly gain aligns with the sustained inflow streak — though the modest daily move relative to Wednesday's $273.7 million in inflows suggests much of the flow-driven bid may already be priced in.
Ethereum dipped 0.4% to $2,349 despite positive ETH ETF flows, though the seven-day gain of 7.3% outpaces Bitcoin's weekly advance. ETH faces overhead resistance near the $2,400 round number, and the flat 30-day return of -0.1% indicates the recent rally has merely recaptured losses from early April rather than breaking new ground.
Solana led the major-cap altcoins Thursday morning, rising 4.9% to $89.12. The move brings SOL's weekly gain to 6.9%, though the asset remains down 7.3% on the month — suggesting a bounce from oversold conditions rather than a sustained trend reversal. A push back above $90 could shift near-term sentiment.
XRP followed a similar pattern, climbing 4.4% to $1.45 with an 8.1% weekly gain — the strongest seven-day performance among the tracked assets. Like SOL, the 30-day picture remains negative at -5.8%, keeping the rally in recovery territory.
Stablecoin Flows
Stablecoin supply showed a mixed signal Wednesday. USDT supply expanded by $265 million to $185.7 billion, while USDC contracted by $159 million to $78.7 billion. The net increase of approximately $105 million suggests marginal new capital entering the crypto ecosystem, though the rotation from USDC to USDT may reflect geographic or venue-specific demand shifts rather than a pure risk-on signal.
Outlook
Thursday's session opens with strong tailwinds from the flow data: a seven-day cumulative above $900 million and weekly price gains across all four tracked assets. Key levels to monitor include $76,000 for Bitcoin, where a close above could confirm the breakout from multi-week consolidation, and $2,400 for Ethereum, which has capped recent rally attempts.
The concentration of Wednesday's inflows into IBIT bears watching. If the pattern of single-fund dominance persists while competitors see continued redemptions, it may point to institutional rebalancing rather than broadening demand — a distinction that could matter if flows decelerate. Thursday's settled flow data, due Friday morning, will clarify whether the streak extends to eight consecutive days.
For SOL and XRP, the test is whether 30-day losses continue to narrow. Both assets need to sustain gains above $90 and $1.50 respectively to shift the monthly trend from recovery to expansion. Stablecoin supply trends will also merit attention — a sustained USDT expansion above $186 billion would suggest fresh fiat on-ramps are active heading into the weekend.
