Institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies is increasing, with a growing trend of traditional finance using ETFs to gain exposure to Bitcoin. Data from SoSoValue and CoinGlass reveals that US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen over $7.54 billion in monthly net inflows, surpassing February's record of $6.03 billion for Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum spot ETFs, particularly BlackRock's ETHA, are gaining ground with a net inflow of $467 million recorded between November 25 and November 29. While Ethereum's price outperformed Bitcoin's in late November, its fundamental supply-side constraints mean it would need to increase 4.61 times to match Bitcoin's total addressable market cap of $2 trillion. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominates Bitcoin spot ETFs with $48 billion in market cap flows, followed closely by Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF (GBTC) and Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF (FBTC). The surge in ETF adoption coincides with Bitcoin approaching the $100,000 mark, with Bitcoin dominance dropping and a shift towards altcoins.
