Markets are responding favorably to the anticipated interest rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve, projected for September 17, 2025. In this context, the U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted a notable $619.73 million in recent investments.
Currently, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs boast total net assets amounting to $151.72 billion, which accounts for around 6.6% of Bitcoin’s overall market capitalization. Ethereum ETFs, meanwhile, hold net assets totaling $29.72 billion, or approximately 5.46% of Ethereum’s market cap.
Recent data from SoSoValue highlights a resurgence in Ethereum ETF inflows. On September 15, Ethereum ETFs saw daily inflows of $359.73 million, marking the fifth consecutive day of positive momentum and bringing the total to just over $1.09 billion. This upswing follows a historic record of $5.43 billion in inflows during July, with an impressive $3.87 billion still entering in August.
However, this upward trend experienced a setback in late August and early September, as investor sentiment shifted back towards Bitcoin ETFs for a short period. During the early days of September, Ethereum funds faced considerable outflows, reaching a peak of $787.74 million. Fortunately, the recent inflows have helped recover these losses.
On the side of Bitcoin, data also shows positive trends. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $260.02 million on September 15, marking a fifth straight day of inflows that totals over $2.6 billion. Despite facing some competition from Ethereum in July, where Bitcoin ETFs still claimed $6.02 billion in monthly net inflows, August saw a decline with $751.12 million in outflows. Nonetheless, the launch of interests in cryptocurrency can be attributed to the upcoming potential rate cut announcement, which seems to have reinvigorated market sentiment.
In the broader cryptocurrency landscape, CoinMarketCap reports a half percent increase in overall market cap over the past 30 days, now reaching $4.01 trillion. Bitcoin has shown a week-on-week uptick of $115,405, while Ethereum has seen a rise of 3.87%, bringing its trading value to $4,501.
As investors remain focused on the developing dynamics surrounding interest rates, the momentum in both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs signals a robust interest in these digital assets.
