- Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF recorded massive inflows while Bitcoin ETFs posted significant outflows.
- Institutional investors shifted capital toward Hyperliquid products offering staking reward exposure.
- Bitwise surpassed competitors rapidly after Hyperliquid ETFs launched across United States markets.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced hefty outflows this week, while institutions flooded into exchange-traded funds based on Hyperliquids. According to the CEO of Bitwise, Hunter Horsley, one of the busiest days for the Hyperliquid ETF (BHYP) since its launch was on Wednesday, when $19.05 million flowed into the fund.
The update coincided with the period that the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are projected to experience $1.64 billion in total outflows since the beginning of May 2026. Recent market information indicated that the institutional investors were increasingly interested in the other blockchain ecosystems not just focused on the biggest cryptocurrencies.
Net inflows made up almost all of BHYP’s transactions volume, or $22 million, said Horsley. This was against very good buying activity in the session with no major sellers selling significantly. The play was also a good way for Bitwise to cement its place in the growing Hyperliquid ETF space, the report added.

Bitwise Expands Hyperliquid ETF Lead Through Product Incentives
The inflow was also rushing just two weeks after Hyperliquid ETFs newly started trading in the United States. Bitwise was able to rapidly expand market share during that period while other firms developed larger market segments. The Bitwise product’s inflows increased to some $55 million, surpassing rival inflows firm 21Shares, Horsley said.
In addition, Bitwise did a few promotions to incentivize institutional investors to join BHYP. According to ., the company incorporated a “built-in” staking mechanism into the structure of the ETF. Investors were also rewarded with 67% of the rewards for staking on the product.
In addition, during this period of the early launch phase, Bitwise waived all management fees. Until then, that approach helped the company quickly establish itself and with the competition intensifying in the crypto investment product sector, geared towards decentralized finance ecosystems.
Capital Rotation Signals Growing Interest Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum
In the meantime, other crypto ETF trading sessions witnessed Hyperliquid-rich funds remaining in the lead over the crypto ETF flow. With the increase in the number of on-chain trading platforms with high network activity and growth profiles, institutional firms sought to gain exposure via such platforms.
The transfer of the capital was also indicative of the changing investor pattern in the regulated crypto market. Bitcoin and Ethereum products continued to have consistent withdrawals, and the newer ecosystem-focused ETFs collected the liquidity of the former.
In conlusion, Bitwise is clearly one of the leaders in the Hyperliquid ETF space, as they have attracted solid inflows, staking rewards, and fee reductions. The new figures also showed that institutional investors were increasingly shifting the focus from traditional investment approaches of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
