Institutional Demand Rebounds as Crypto ETFs Close 2025 on Strong Note
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds returned to positive territory, recording net inflows of $355 million in a single day, effectively ending a seven-day streak of outflows. The shift signals renewed confidence from institutional investors despite thinner liquidity during the year-end holiday period.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Signal Market Resilience
Market data shows the inflows were spread across six major spot Bitcoin ETFs. The largest contribution came from BlackRock’s IBIT with $143.8 million, followed by Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB at $109.6 million. Fidelity’s FBTC added $78.6 million, while other funds also posted positive daily flows.
Broader Crypto ETF Market Sees Positive Momentum
Spot Ethereum ETFs also reversed course, posting nearly $68 million in net inflows after several days of losses. Newly launched spot ETFs linked to XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin likewise reported positive activity, pointing to broader investor interest beyond Bitcoin.
Despite mixed price performance in 2025, crypto ETFs collectively attracted tens of billions of dollars in cumulative inflows. Looking ahead, expectations center on expanded product offerings, growing institutional adoption, and clearer regulatory frameworks, which could push inflows beyond previous records.
As markets evolve, crypto ETFs are increasingly viewed not just as investment vehicles, but as core financial infrastructure supporting digital asset adoption.
