Bitcoin News Today: U.S. Bitcoin ETFs See $72.3M Net Inflow for 7th Consecutive Day Amid Regulatory Clarity and Dovish Policies

The U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF market reported a net inflow of $72.3 million for the week ending July 25, 2025, marking the seventh consecutive day of inflows and reflecting growing institutional and retail interest in the asset class [1]. The figures, tracked by Farside Investors, reveal a mixed performance across individual ETFs, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading with a $267.9 million inflow, while Franklin’s FBTC and ARK’s ARKB faced outflows of $123.2 million and $90.2 million, respectively. Other products, including Grayscale’s GBTC (-$79.7 million) and VanEck’s HODL (+$62.1 million), highlighted divergent investor preferences amid broader market dynamics [1].

The surge in inflows coincided with a record $130.8 million influx on July 25 alone, underscoring heightened demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure. Analysts note that macroeconomic factors, such as inflation expectations and dovish central bank policies, have bolstered risk-on sentiment, while improved regulatory clarity has normalized Bitcoin ETFs as a mainstream investment vehicle [1]. The product’s performance remains closely tied to Bitcoin’s price, which hovered near $153,657, though its ability to convert volatility into consistent inflows signals maturing market infrastructure.

Liquidity improvements have also been observed, with narrower bid-ask spreads and rising average daily trading volumes compared to earlier in the year. This aligns with broader upgrades in Bitcoin infrastructure by exchanges and custodians. However, challenges persist, including geopolitical uncertainties and potential regulatory scrutiny in other jurisdictions. For now, the U.S. continues to drive adoption, with Bitcoin ETFs serving as a critical on-ramp for institutional capital [1].

The ETF’s trajectory reflects a transition from skepticism to acceptance. Launched in early 2024, the product initially faced high fees and low liquidity but has since attracted endowments and pension funds seeking diversification. While the $72.3 million weekly inflow is notable, it remains modest compared to gold or equity ETFs, highlighting Bitcoin’s nascent integration into traditional finance. Long-term growth will depend on macroeconomic stability and regulatory developments, particularly the SEC’s potential approval of new digital-asset products [1].
