Crypto ETFs Surge with Record Inflows as Bitcoin Prices Rally
Record Inflows into bitcoin and Ether ETFs Amid Market Surge
Significant Investment Surge in bitcoin and Ether Funds
On Thursday, investors showed a strong interest in bitcoin and Ether, leading to substantial inflows into their respective cryptocurrency funds. This marked one of the highest daily investment levels since these funds were launched.
bitcoin ETFs See Massive Inflows
The inflow for US spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reached an impressive $1.17 billion. Notably, BlackRock’s iShares bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) contributed $448 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin bitcoin Fund added $324 million, as reported by Farside Investors. This surge coincided with bitcoin reaching a new peak of over $113,800, continuing its upward trajectory into Friday.
These inflows are only second to the $1.37 billion recorded on November 7, 2024, following Donald Trump’s election victory.
Ether ETFs Experience Historic Inflows
In parallel, Ether spot ETFs also reported significant activity, with total net inflows of $383.1 million on the same day, marking the second-highest inflow in the history of these funds. The majority of this investment came from BlackRock’s iShares ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), which alone saw a record daily inflow of $300.9 million.
Market Dynamics and Investment Hesitation
Despite the impressive inflows, some traditional financial advisors remain cautious about offering bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs. Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, noted in a Friday post that major investment platforms like Vanguard continue to restrict access to these ETFs.
Demand for bitcoin and Ether Outstrips Production
Both bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs are currently absorbing more coins than are being produced. Over the last 24 hours, ethereum‘s net issuance was recorded at 2,110 ETH, valued at around $6.33 million, which significantly surpasses the inflow into Ether spot ETFs on Thursday.
In terms of bitcoin, US ETFs have collectively acquired bitcoin worth $28.22 billion in 2025, while the net new issuance from bitcoin miners has only reached $7.85 billion during the same timeframe, according to Galaxy Research.
Conclusion
The recent surge in investments into bitcoin and Ether ETFs highlights a growing interest in cryptocurrencies, even as traditional financial institutions remain hesitant. As demand continues to outpace production, the market dynamics for these digital assets are evolving rapidly.
