Weekly Bitcoin ETF Inflows Reach $3 Billion, US Investors Shift Toward Cryptocurrency
🚀 Bitcoin ETF Fever Hits the US as Billions Pour In
Last week saw a massive surge in investments for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US, with a whopping $3 billion flowing in! This is one of the strongest weeks for Bitcoin ETFs in 2025, fueled by rising BTC prices and renewed institutional interest.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Set New Records
According to SoSoValue, 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively raked in an impressive inflow of approximately $3.06 billion over six consecutive trading sessions. This staggering wave of investment ranks second only to the largest net inflow on record for Bitcoin ETFs, demonstrating increasing demand for crypto-focused financial products.
The largest inflows occurred on April 22 and 23, with daily figures reaching an astounding $936 million and $916 million respectively. These amounts represent some of the best single-day performances since Donald Trump's return to the White House this year.
As a result, the total assets under management (AUM) for Bitcoin ETFs surged to an impressive $109 billion. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) remains the market leader, now managing a astonishing $56 billion. This represents roughly 3% of Bitcoin's circulating supply.
Institutionalists Jump on the Bitcoin Bandwagon
Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy at Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is reportedly optimistic about the future of IBIT, predicting it will become the world's largest ETF in the next decade.
The surge in ETF inflows is often attributed to Bitcoin's recent decoupling from traditional risk assets like U.S. stocks and gold. Rising geopolitical tensions, particularly global tariff battles, have further bolstered Bitcoin's status as a safe-haven investment.
Moreover, analysts from The Kobeissi Letter suggest that Bitcoin's decoupling from macro assets has supported its price rebound. Since dipping under $75,000 on April 7, BTC's price has surged by more than 25% and is now trading above $94,000.
The Race to Lower Costs in the Crypto Kingdom
While returns are similar across Bitcoin ETFs due to tracking the same asset, fee differences (0.20–0.90% range) create slight return divergences over time. Most Bitcoin ETFs compete primarily on expense ratios, with spot Bitcoin ETFs like VanEck Bitcoin Trust ETF (HODL), Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC), and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) being top contenders.
In addition to spot Bitcoin ETFs, there are strategy-based alternatives. ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) focuses on futures (0.95% fee), while Global X Blockchain & Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITS) mixes futures and blockchain equities (0.65% fee).
Looking to the future, David Puell, an analyst at ARK Invest, remains highly optimistic about the top crypto. Puell predicts Bitcoin could reach up to $2.4 million by 2030, driven by growing institutional adoption and its rise as a strategic treasury asset for corporations and even nation-states. In more conservative scenarios, he forecasts Bitcoin reaching between $500,000 and $1.2 million within the same timeframe.
