Bitcoin exchange-traded funds pulled in $128.69 million on Thursday, their fourth straight day of net inflows. BlackRock's funds led the way again, while ether funds added $92.15 million of their own. XRP and HYPE also finished in positive territory, giving the market a broad day of buying.
A steady four-day run
The four-day streak is the kind of quiet accumulation that tends to fly under the radar. No single day has been explosive, but the daily additions are stacking up. Thursday's $128.69 million is a solid number, and it follows three days of similar inflows. That consistency is what stands out — it's not a one-day blip, but a sustained shift.
For a market that's been through some rough patches this year, the steady flow is a welcome change. It suggests that the buyers who stepped in during the dip are staying put, and new money is trickling in as well.
Ether funds keep pace
Ether funds added $92.15 million on the same day. That's a meaningful chunk, and it shows that the appetite for crypto exposure isn't limited to bitcoin. Ether's inflows have been more uneven than bitcoin's, but Thursday's number is a positive sign.
It's also a reminder that the ETF market for digital assets is no longer a one-horse race. Bitcoin still dominates in total assets, but ether is carving out its own space.
XRP and HYPE join the green
XRP and HYPE also finished Thursday in positive territory. The numbers for these funds are smaller, but the fact that they're seeing inflows at all is notable. When the broader market is green, it often means investors are spreading their bets rather than piling into a single asset.
That's a healthier sign than a day where only one fund type is moving.
BlackRock's steady hand
BlackRock led bitcoin ETF inflows again, continuing a pattern that's held for much of this month. The firm's product has become the go-to for many institutional buyers, and its lead over competitors is hard to miss. Thursday's inflow is just the latest example.
The four-day run is now in the books. Friday's numbers will show whether it becomes five.
