BlackRock’s Crypto ETFs Attract $111.51 Million in Daily Inflows, Signaling Institutional Confidence in Bitcoin and Ethereum

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) attracted $81 million in inflows on April 17, 2026, while its Ethereum ETF (ETHA) added $30.51 million. These figures mark the largest single-day inflows for either fund and follow a broader trend of institutional capital moving into crypto through regulated channels. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total of $26 million in inflows that day, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for the majority of the movement. Ethereum ETFs, meanwhile, extended their streak of positive inflows to six consecutive days. The sustained inflows into crypto ETFs reflect growing institutional confidence in digital assets, with investors increasingly favoring regulated exposure over direct ownership of crypto. Increased ETF inflows correlate with reduced price volatility and greater market stability for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
