Ethereum Holds Up While Bitcoin ETFs Suffer a Sharp Decline
While massive outflows weigh on Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum funds continue to attract capital for the third consecutive day. Crypto analysts agree on one point: this is by no means an insignificant movement. Besides, Ethereum network onchain data confirms it.
In brief
- Bitcoin ETFs register $-291.11 million in net outflows on April 14, 2026
- Fidelity FBTC alone at $-229.22 million: the biggest contributor to outflows
- Ethereum ETFs record a 3rd consecutive day of inflows: +$9.44 million and AUM at $12.98 billion
- Ethereum network: +41% transactions within a week (from 2.5M to 3.6M/day) according to Artemis Analytics
- Total Bitcoin ETF AUM: $94.51 billion and trading volume: $2.44 billion this Monday
Why do Bitcoin ETFs lose 291 million dollars in a single session?
According to data on April 14, 2026, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $291.11 million in net outflows. The previous week, however, they had seen positive inflows.
The pressure comes from a single dominant player: Fidelity FBTC, whose redemptions reach $229.22 million. ARK 21Shares ARKB follows with $62.89 million outflows and Grayscale GBTC loses $38.25 million.
The picture is not entirely bleak though. BlackRock IBIT continues to attract capital with $34.70 million inflows. Bitwise BITB adds $11.88 million and Morgan Stanley MSBT $6.28 million. But these positive flows are not enough to offset the scale of redemptions.
Upstream, the trading volume remains solid as well: at $2.44 billion during the session. The total Bitcoin ETF AUM is $94.51 billion.
This level of outflows looks more like institutional repositioning than generalized panic. The proof: the previous week (April 7), the same crypto funds had logged $471 million in a single day.
How does Ethereum maintain its inflows despite pressure on the crypto market?
Ethereum’s resilience is not by chance. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs indeed gathered $9.44 million this Monday, marking a third consecutive day of inflows. BlackRock ETHB leads with $5.78 million, followed by Grayscale Ether Mini Trust at $5.15 million and Fidelity FETH at $3.93 million.
According to crypto analysts, the momentum goes beyond just ETF flows. The fact is the Ethereum network itself seems to be accelerating. According to Artemis Analytics, daily transactions on the Ethereum blockchain jumped 41% in one week. Specifically, they went from about 2.5 million to 3.6 million daily transactions. This type of onchain signal often precedes renewed interest in Ethereum-related digital assets.
Altcoins remain sidelined. XRP ETFs show just $1.46 million via Franklin XRPZ. As for Solana ETFs, they recorded no activity this Monday. Solana AUM remains steady at $812.25 million.
This crypto news of April 14 illustrates a new reality: the market is not falling uniformly. It chooses. And this Monday, it chose Ethereum. A divergence signal worth taking seriously!
