Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs Defy Market Plunge - Here’s Why They’re Still Bullish
While traditional markets stumble, crypto ETFs stand firm against the sell-off pressure.
Institutional Hold Strong
Major fund managers aren't flinching as Bitcoin and Ethereum investment vehicles show surprising resilience. The big money players—who usually panic at the first sign of red—are holding their positions like seasoned crypto veterans.
The Real Test
Market downturns separate weak hands from diamond hands. ETF flows tell the real story: smart money sees dips as buying opportunities, not exit signals. Meanwhile, traditional finance still can't wrap its head around digital assets outperforming their precious blue-chips.
When Wall Street's algorithms finally understand crypto volatility, maybe they'll stop treating 10% moves like the apocalypse. Until then—keep stacking.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs defy price dips
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have been trending down in recent days, giving up gains from earlier this month. At the time of writing, BTC trades just above $110,140, down around 1.4% on the day according to market data from crypto.news. The crypto market giant has fallen roughly 4% over the last week and sits about 11.3% below its all-time high of $124,128.
Similarly, Ethereum is holding NEAR $4,400, down about 3.9% on the day. While the asset is still up roughly 4.5% for the week, it has also fallen 10.5% from its peak above $4,900 just days ago.
Analysts point to large-scale dumps by major holders as the key driver of the recent market downturn, likely fueled by efforts to lock in profits from recent gains.

— Ali (@ali_charts) August 25, 2025Meanwhile, both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs still hold billions of dollars in assets under management, suggesting that overall institutional interest remains strong. Their strong performance so far this year has served as one of the biggest drivers of the assets’ gains, combined with the separate interest and demand from corporate heavyweights.
Looking ahead, all eyes are on whether the positive momentum in Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs can continue and sustained inflows across the funds could provide the boost necessary for price recovery in the near term.
