IBIT was able to record a net inflow of 1,955 BTC within the last 7 days, making it the top performer Bitcoin ETF in the last 7 days.

Fidelity Leads Ethereum ETF Surge
While Bitcoin ETFs stagnated, Ethereum ETFs ($ETH) saw significant investments. On April 1, the group recorded a net daily inflow 6,267 ETH per day, equated to $11.61 million. Out of all the Ethereum funds, Fidelity had the highest single-day inflow with 3,498 ETH or about $6.48 million. The fund now controls 400,086 ETH, equivalent to $741.36 million.
Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) also supported with 2,251 ETH inflow, whereas mini trust disclosed outflow of 6 ETH in the same period. Over a seven day basis, the mini trust saw an outflow of 3,110 ETH in net, which might indicate transfer of funds to other larger and more liquid trusts.
The iShares Ethereum Trust did not move much in after-hours trading but owns 1,191,766 ETH, meaning institutional investors remain staunch. VanEck’s offering and Bitwise both saw no change in their holdings but added value due to the increasing institutional demands for Ethereum.
Although some of these have experienced outflows, overall, all Ethereum ETFs hold 3,430,297 ETH, worth nearly $6.38 billion. The weekly net outflow is negative and stands at 1,507 ETH, which has happened due to developments in Grayscale mini trust and Galaxy Ethereum ETF.
