Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) inflow resumes after eight consecutive days of outflow.

March 15: Inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) surged to $13.33 million on March 12, marking an end to a seven-day streak of outflows totaling $1.54 billion. This recent influx brings the total net inflow for Bitcoin ETFs to $35.4 billion, with assets under management (AUM) standing at $92.45 billion. Since their launch in January 2024, these Bitcoin ETFs have experienced only 21 days of net outflows.

The Ark BETA Trust (ARKB), a collaboration between ARK Invest and 21Shares, led the recovery on March 12 with $82.6 million in inflows.

In contrast, Ethereum spot ETFs have experienced a six-day outflow streak, with investors withdrawing $10.4 million on March 12, amounting to a total outflow of $181.4 million during this period. Total inflows into Ethereum ETFs have decreased to $2.63 billion, resulting in a drop in AUM to $6.76 billion.

On the regulatory front, CBOE, acting on behalf of Invesco Galaxy, submitted a proposal to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 12 seeking approval for physical creation and redemption mechanisms for its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. The SEC is currently reviewing this application. A similar request, made in January 2025, was filed for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by ARK Invest and 21Shares.

Meanwhile, the SEC has extended its review of multiple spot ETF applications for XRP, Solana, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.

While specific recent filings for Ethereum ETFs lack detail, the broader context suggests that regulatory bodies are actively considering and refining rules for crypto ETFs, with a focus on mechanisms like in-kind creation and redemption.

Regulatory bodies, including the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), are actively engaged in discussions and rule changes regarding crypto-related investments. The complex regulatory considerations involved in the creation and redemption of shares in crypto ETFs necessitate careful management to ensure compliance with evolving rules.

Investors poured $82.6 million into The Ark BETA Trust, a Bitcoin ETF, marking a recovery on March 12, in contrast to Ethereum spot ETFs which registered a six-day outflow streak, with investments worth $10.4 million withdrawn on that day. Meanwhile, the financial sector is witnessing increasing technology-driven opportunities, as regulatory bodies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), review applications for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, aiming to refine rules for crypto ETFs, particularly focusing on mechanisms like in-kind creation and redemption.
