Bitcoin -linked products led the inflows with $284 million, while their ether equivalents saw outflows of $29 million. This was the fifth consecutive week that ETH products registered outflows, even as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value led gains after the Fed move.
"This is due to persistent outflows from the incumbent Grayscale Trust and scant inflows from the newly issued ETFs," CoinShares wrote on Monday.
Ether exchange-traded funds have consistently underperformed bitcoin ETFs since they listed in the U.S. in July. Their first five weeks of trading saw $500 million of outflows, while their BTC counterparts had experienced more than $5 billion of inflows during their first five weeks.
JPMorgan attributed the disparity to bitcoin's "first mover advantage," the lack of staking provision in ETH products and lower liquidity making them less appealing to institutional investors.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
Ce qu'il:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
