Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Sweep 2025 Newcomer Rankings, Capturing Half of Top 20 Spots

In 2025, cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are stealing the spotlight, with Bitcoin and Ethereum products claiming 10 of the top 20 newcomer positions — and holding the top four spots overall for investor inflows.

Crypto ETFs Take Over the Leaderboard

Since the start of 2024, more than 1,300 ETFs have launched, according to wealth strategist Nate Geraci. Among them, crypto-themed products are proving to be the most in-demand, including five spot Bitcoin ETFs, two spot Ethereum ETFs, two income-focused MicroStrategy ETFs, and one leveraged Ethereum ETF.

Leading the charge is the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), pulling in a staggering $57.4 billion. Fidelity’s FBTC ranks second with $12.1 billion, followed by BlackRock’s ETHA with $9.6 billion. The YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) takes fourth place, attracting $7.2 billion.

Other high performers include:

• ARK 21’s ARKB – $2.38 billion
• Bitwise’s BITB – $2.32 billion
• Fidelity Ethereum Fund ETF (FETH) – $2.23 billion
• Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) – $1.66 billion
• 2x Ether ETF (ETHU) – $1.64 billion
• Defiance Daily Target 2x Long MicroStrategy ETF (MSTX) – $1.52 billion.

  Why Crypto ETFs Are Outshining the Market in 2025

  ETF analyst Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg called this year’s leaderboard “wild,” adding that seeing firms like NEOS and YieldMax in the top 10 was an unexpected twist.

Ethereum ETFs Stage a Quick Comeback

Spot Ethereum ETFs faced a steep drop on August 4, losing $465 million in a single day. BlackRock’s ETHA saw the largest hit, down $375 million, while Fidelity’s FETH lost $55.1 million.

But the recovery was swift. On August 8, Ethereum ETFs recorded $461.21 million in net inflows, pushing their combined total to $9.82 billion. ETHA led the rebound with $254.73 million, FETH gained $132.35 million, and Grayscale’s ETHE added $26.84 million.

Bitcoin ETFs Weather Heavy Outflows Before Rebound

Bitcoin ETFs endured an even sharper shake-up. On August 1, they saw $812 million in outflows — the second-largest daily withdrawal in their history. BlackRock’s IBIT alone lost $292 million on August 5, while Fidelity’s FBTC and ARK Invest’s ARKB also faced substantial investor exits.

Still, by August 8, sentiment shifted. Spot Bitcoin ETFs raked in $403.88 million in net inflows, bringing their cumulative total to $54.43 billion. IBIT once again dominated with $359.98 million in new investments, followed by FBTC with $30.49 million.
