Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Spot ETFs See 2025 Inflows Surge 19% Year-Over-Year

Bitcoin spot ETFs in the United States have experienced a remarkable surge in inflows, with cumulative inflows reaching $14.84 billion so far this year. This figure slightly surpasses the $14.83 billion recorded by the same point in 2024, according to CryptoQuant’s Head of Research Julio Moreno. This trend highlights a late surge in ETF demand that coincided with Bitcoin’s climb to new all-time highs.

After a slow start to the year marked by waning momentum and market uncertainty, interest in spot ETFs rebounded mid-year. This resurgence suggests growing confidence among traditional investors, who favor ETFs for their ease of access and custodial simplicity. The insight was shared via a chart on X, emphasizing the renewed interest and investment in Bitcoin spot ETFs.

Approved in January 2024, Bitcoin spot ETFs quickly became a pillar of institutional crypto exposure in the U.S. Now, their 2025 inflow trajectory points to another strong year—even as the broader market faces macro headwinds. By mid-2025, these ETFs had attracted over $50 billion in net inflows, driving Bitcoin's price to new highs. The cryptocurrency's value soared to unprecedented levels, with the pace of daily net flows into these ETFs reaching its highest point. Since February 2025, an additional $2.3 billion in inflows has been recorded, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $2.7 billion in inflows within a single week. This trend has pushed the total assets under management for IBIT to $80 billion, and Bitcoin's price has hit a record high of $123,091.

The surge in inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs underscores the increasing acceptance and adoption of Bitcoin as a mainstream investment asset. Institutional investors are playing a pivotal role in driving this trend, reflecting the growing institutional interest and investment in the cryptocurrency market. The data indicates that Bitcoin spot ETFs are becoming a significant component of institutional portfolios, further solidifying their position in the financial landscape.
