On the same day, Fidelity’s fund saw $20 million more inflows compared to the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. ARK 21Shares recorded a net inflow of 145 million Australian dollars.
IBIT’s Weekly Performance is Strong

SEC Considering Other Crypto ETF Applications
Bitcoin and Ethereum $2,465 The fate of ETF applications for other crypto assets is still unclear. The SEC continues to review ETF applications submitted for digital assets such as XRP and Solana. However, Kaiko’s analysts say Ripple
$0.534633 He thinks that the XRP ETF application is unlikely to be approved due to the impact of the lawsuit between the SEC and the SEC.
SEC Member Uyeda criticized the institution’s approach towards the crypto industry and commented, “This approach harms the industry.”
On the other hand, Matthew Sigel, one of VanEck executives, argued that Solana should be considered as a commodity like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Sigel suggested that the fate of the Solana ETF application could change depending on the results of the upcoming presidential elections.
Regulatory Environment Remains Uncertain
While the ETF approval processes for cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin and Ethereum remain unclear, even these two funds were considered unlikely to be approved in the past. However, current regulatory developments continue to shape market expectations.
With the rapid growth of spot Bitcoin ETFs, major players such as Fidelity and BlackRock remain in the lead. However, it is becoming clear that the future of the sector will depend on how the regulatory framework will be shaped and the SEC’s approach.
