In a surprising turnaround, Bitcoin and ethereum ETFs have rebounded sharply following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s latest remarks hinting at potential monetary easing. After days of capital outflows, spot markets for these crypto products saw renewed inflows, with Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF leading the charge. Meanwhile, altcoins like Maxidoge are capitalizing on the market’s recovery phase. Here’s a deep dive into the numbers, the “Powell Effect,” and what this means for crypto investors as we head into Q4 2025.
Why Are Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Suddenly Hot Again?
After bleeding $326 million just a day earlier, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs flipped the script on Tuesday, October 15, 2025, with net inflows erasing much of the prior losses. Fidelity’s FBTC stole the show, pulling in $132.67 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT saw a modest $30.79 million outflow. Ethereum ETFs followed suit, reversing Monday’s $428 million exodus—Fidelity’s FETH led with $154.62 million in fresh capital. The rebound correlates tightly with Powell’s暗示 (hint) at a possible rate cut, proving once again that crypto markets hang on every Fed whisper.
The Powell Effect: How a Single Speech Ignited Crypto
At the National Association for Business Economics conference, Powell dropped a bombshell: The Fed might pivot from tightening sooner than expected, possibly by year-end. “Bank reserves are slightly above levels consistent with abundant liquidity,” he noted—central banker code for “we’re prepping the soft landing.” Kronos Research’s Vincent Liu summed it up: “October rate cuts are now odds-on. crypto ETFs will be first in line for the liquidity party.” And boy, did traders listen—BTC spiked 8% within hours.
Maxidoge and Altcoins: Riding the Recovery Wave
While giants like BTC and ETH dominate headlines, Maxidoge—a Dogecoin derivative—has quietly raked in $3.6 million during its presale. With Leveraged positions unwinding post-flash crash, the altcoin market is rebuilding on stronger fundamentals. “Maxidoge’s narrative taps into Doge’s institutionalization trend,” observed a BTCC analyst. “It’s the classic ‘risk-on’ play when macro tides turn.”
Ethereum’s Quiet Resilience
Despite last week’s 20% plunge, ETH held firm at $3,990 as its ETFs mirrored Bitcoin’s inflows. Grayscale’s Ethereum Fund and Bitwise’s ETF added $34.78M and $13.27M respectively. The takeaway? Institutional appetite isn’t just alive—it’s voracious. Year-to-date crypto product inflows hit $48.7 billion, dwarfing 2024’s total. Even China-U.S. trade tensions couldn’t dent this freight train.
