Bitcoin ETFs Attract Nearly $2 Billion in April as 2026 Turns Green
Market Rebound and Growing Investor Interest
In April, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw an impressive influx of close to $2 billion. This marks a significant recovery after months of decline, as investors showed renewed interest in these financial products. The month saw a 12% increase in Bitcoin’s price, which encouraged more money to flow into ETFs tracking the cryptocurrency. The strong performance in April is the best since October of last year, indicating a positive turn in market sentiment. Overall, the year-to-date flows for Bitcoin ETFs now sit at nearly $1.5 billion, reflecting growing confidence among investors. Leading the market are BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s FBTC, which have consistently attracted the most funds.
Ethereum ETFs End a Multi-Month Losing Streak
Meanwhile, ETFs tracking Ethereum finally stopped their five-month losing streak in April. These funds had been hemorrhaging money since November, losing over $2.5 billion during that period. However, last month, investors put in $356 million into Ethereum ETFs, ending the outflow trend. Despite this positive movement, year-to-date flows still remain negative by over $410 million. The primary leader in Ethereum ETFs is BlackRock’s ETHA, followed by Fidelity’s FETH. Even with the recent inflows, Ethereum ETFs have yet to fully recover from previous losses, but April’s growth offers hope for potential stabilization moving forward.
