Fed Rate Cut Boosts Bitcoin Institutional Investments; Ethereum Dumped!

Published by

Institutional investors are increasingly turning their attention to Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins, spurred by last week’s Federal Reserve rate cut. As the global economic landscape shifts, the stellar performance of Gold (XAU) is also expected to drive a bullish crypto outlook for the fourth quarter.


Historically, the crypto market has seen bullish momentum in October, reaching its peak in December, followed by consolidation in January. Investors are keeping a close watch to see if this trend will repeat.

Bitcoin Dominates, Ethereum Struggles

According to CoinShares’ latest weekly report, digital asset investment products saw cash inflows for the second consecutive week, totaling $321 million. This surge in demand is largely attributed to the Federal Reserve’s 50 bps rate cut.

Bitcoin attracted the lion’s share of institutional investments last week, pulling in $284 million in net inflows. In contrast, Ethereum (ETH) experienced net outflows of $29 million, a trend attributed to declining interest in Grayscale Trust’s Ether products and minimal demand for other spot Ether ETFs.

Solana’s digital asset products managed to buck the broader trend, with modest inflows of around $3.2 million last week, signaling cautious optimism among investors.

Market Impact

As Coinpedia has reported in the past, the approval of the US spot Ether ETFs did not gain traction like that of Bitcoins. The latest market data shows that the US spot Ether ETFs have registered a net cash outflow of over $607 million since approval. On the other hand, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs have registered a net cash inflow of over $17 billion to date.

As a result, ETH price has dropped over 25 percent in the past two months, while Bitcoin price has only retraced less than 10 percent.

Despite this, Bitcoin’s market dominance suggests a potential shift toward altcoins, which could eventually favor Ethereum.

Do you believe Ethereum will recover its position, or will Bitcoin’s dominance continue to grow?
