The streak originally began on May 16, with a pause for the US Memorial Day market closure on May 26. Throughout these 19 days, the ETFs saw inflows totaling $1.37 billion. This accounts for approximately 35% of the ETFs’ total net inflows, which stand at $3.87 billion.

Prior to this, the longest inflow streak for spot Ether ETFs was an 18-day run that concluded on Dec. 19. This earlier streak was driven by a buoyant crypto market in the wake of Donald Trump’s election win in November.

However, despite the record-breaking inflow streak, Ether’s trading value is currently lower than it was at the beginning of the streak on May 16, when it traded at $2,620. At present, Ether is trading at $2,552, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

On June 11, the ETFs recorded their largest single-day inflow in over four months, pulling in $240.3 million. This was the biggest inflow since Feb. 4, when the ETFs attracted $307.8 million.

Several industry insiders have suggested that the introduction of a staking feature could increase interest in the spot Ether ETFs. Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s head of digital assets, commented on March 20 that the ETFs are “less perfect” without staking.

Despite this, there is growing optimism for Ether. Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan recently stated to Cointelegraph that Ethereum is drawing a significant amount of attention. He pointed out that the asset has been “playing catch-up since markets began their recovery in mid-April.”

Historically, though, Q3 has been less favorable for Ether, with the average returns since 2013 standing at just 0.88%, as per CoinGlass data.

In another major Ether-related development, sports betting platform SharpLink Gaming purchased 176,271 Ether for $463 million on June 13, becoming the largest publicly traded holder of ETH.

On May 30, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, known as IBIT, witnessed its biggest daily outflow of $430.8 million, based on data from Farside. Prior to this, the largest outflow recorded by IBIT was on February 26, amounting to $418.1 million.

ETF analyst, Nate Geraci, commented on the exceptional run over the past month, emphasizing that BlackRock is “now pushing” roughly $70 billion in Bitcoin holdings since its launch. “I hardly have words to describe how astounding this is,” said Geraci.

Meanwhile, the collective of 11 US spot Bitcoin ETFs reported net outflows for the second day in a row on May 30, adding up to $616.1 million. Just the day before, the group had ended its 10-day net inflow run with outflows totaling $346.8 million. Despite this, BlackRock continued to post an inflow, which drew attention from various industry players.

Kyle Chasse, the founder of Master Ventures, noted, “All other issuers were in the red. Only BlackRock kept buying… that’s some serious strategic thinking.”

Chasse further added that the outflows were not a result of “retail panic,” but rather a “quiet transfer of supply to the strongest hands.”

As of now, the spot price of Bitcoin stands at $103,700, marking a drop of 2.27% over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Nick Forster, founder of Derive, highlighted to Cointelegraph that the considerable inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs in recent times has not been mirrored in the spot price. Despite over $6.2 billion inflowing into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust in May, Bitcoin’s price hasn’t seen a corresponding increase, stated Forster.

In the trading week that ended on May 23, spot Bitcoin ETFs reported a combined inflow of $2.75 billion.

With the surge in bitcoin price, U.S.-based spot bitcoin funds collectively have over $121 billion in net asset value, the highest since January this year. Bloomberg ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, noted the difference between IBIT and other funds in a recent post, commenting on the substantial inflow into IBIT compared to others.

One notable buyer of IBIT has been Goldman Sachs, as revealed in a recent SEC filing initially discovered by MacroScope. Goldman Sachs is now the largest known IBIT holder globally, holding 30.8 million shares worth around $1.4 billion, marking a 28% increase from its holdings at the beginning of 2025’s first quarter.

The finance firm also holds 3.5 million shares of FBTC, the second-largest spot bitcoin ETF in the market in terms of assets under management, valued at about $315 million. It acquired approximately 30,000 shares in the first quarter of 2025, as per the filing.

This filing comes a few months after Goldman Sachs recognized crypto in its annual shareholder letter for the first time. The firm’s head of digital assets, Mathew McDermott, noted that if regulations allow stablecoins to be easily adopted by financial institutions, it could expedite the use of digital currency by major players.

BlackRock representatives recently met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to discuss staking and options on cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds. The agency has been meeting with several crypto shareholders as it seeks to adopt a more industry-friendly approach towards crypto regulation.
