On January 20, 2025, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant movements in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, as reported by Lookonchain. Specifically, 10 Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of 5,312 BTC, which equates to a monetary value of $555.28 million. Within this group, Blackrock's iShares ETF saw substantial inflows amounting to 3,570 BTC, valued at $373.23 million, increasing its total holdings to 563,135 BTC, worth $58.87 billion as of the same date (Lookonchain, Jan 20, 2025). Conversely, 9 Ethereum ETFs faced net outflows totaling 956 ETH, equivalent to a loss of $3.16 million. Notably, Grayscale's ETHE experienced significant outflows of 5,707 ETH, amounting to $18.91 million, yet it maintains a holding of 1,391,098 ETH valued at $4.61 billion (Lookonchain, Jan 20, 2025). These figures highlight a stark contrast between the performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs on this day, indicating a potential shift in investor sentiment towards these assets.

The trading implications of these ETF flows are substantial. The positive net inflow into Bitcoin ETFs, particularly the significant inflow into Blackrock's iShares, suggests a strong bullish sentiment among institutional investors. This is reflected in Bitcoin's price movement, which saw a 3.2% increase from $104,320 to $107,650 between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM UTC on January 20, 2025 (CoinMarketCap, Jan 20, 2025). The trading volume for Bitcoin also surged, reaching 23,450 BTC traded on major exchanges during the same period, a 15% increase from the previous day's volume of 20,400 BTC (CryptoCompare, Jan 20, 2025). In contrast, Ethereum's price experienced a slight decline of 0.8%, moving from $3,310 to $3,285 over the same timeframe, accompanied by a trading volume decrease of 10% to 11,500 ETH (CoinMarketCap, Jan 20, 2025). The outflows from Ethereum ETFs, especially the large outflows from Grayscale's ETHE, may have contributed to this bearish pressure on Ethereum's price. These ETF flows and subsequent price movements provide clear signals for traders to consider when making their next moves in the market.
