The data also revealed that BlackRock acted differently than Fidelity, selling over $285 million in ETFs. Overall, BlackRock experienced larger withdrawals of money than the new investments Fidelity received.

Over the same period, these Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows of $206.4 million, suggesting that institutions are still hesitant and cautious due to ongoing uncertainties in the crypto market as a whole.
