How Ethereum ETF Inflows Will Impact Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Prices – TradingView News
Benzinga studied the impact of spot Ethereum ETFs on Bitcoin And Ethereum prices and the potential scale of capital inflows to allow investors to better understand future market dynamics.
Expected entries and market dynamics
The approval of Ethereum spot ETFs has already started to positively shift investor sentiment.
Data indicates that Ethereum saw a turnaround with net inflows following SEC approval, ending a 10-week streak of outflows totaling $200 million.
Ethereum inflows recently reached around $36 million, highlighting renewed investor interest.
Will it be new capital?
The influx of capital into Ethereum ETFs is expected to attract both retail and institutional investors, providing a regulated and secure way to invest in Ethereum.
Analysts predict a significant influx of new capital into these ETFs.
For example, Bloomberg Intelligence predicts that new Hong Kong crypto products, including Ethereum ETFs, could generate around $1 billion in net inflows in their first year or two.
Given the scale of the US ETF market, inflows for US-based Ethereum ETFs could be significantly higher.

Potential impact on Bitcoin
There are concerns that new capital flowing into Ethereum ETFs could cannibalize inflows that would otherwise flow into Bitcoin ETFs.
However, the data suggests a more nuanced picture.
Bitcoin ETFs have also seen strong inflows, with products like BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust I BITE leading the way with $720 million in net inflows recently.
This indicates a strong investor appetite for both cryptocurrencies.
Price implications
The price impact will depend on the balance between new capital inflows and the potential shift of Bitcoin investments to Ethereum.
If inflows are primarily new capital, we could see upward pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.
Conversely, in the event of significant cannibalization, Bitcoin could experience slower price appreciation compared to Ethereum.
The upcoming Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event on November 19 will be a key forum to discuss these developments.
Industry leaders will offer their perspectives on the evolving dynamics of digital assets, providing valuable insight into how these ETF inflows could shape the market in the months to come.
