United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) kicked off 2025 with a surge of investor interest, recording nearly $1.9 billion in net inflows over just two days—January 3 and January 6. This sharp rebound followed a lackluster period in late December, when outflows from these funds totaled $1.9 billion between December 19 and January 2.

Bitcoin ETFs Records Massive Inflows

According to Farside Investors, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the charge on January 6, drawing $370.2 million in inflows. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) secured $209 million, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF rounded out the top three with $153 million. Other prominent players like the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and Grayscale’s GBTC also saw significant inflows, attracting over $70 million collectively. In contrast, ETFs from Invesco, Valkyrie, and WisdomTree recorded no new investments that day.

These two days of substantial inflows have brought the total net inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs to $36.9 billion since their launch nearly a year ago. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF remains the frontrunner, with $37.4 billion in accumulated inflows, followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund at $12.4 billion. Grayscale’s converted GBTC, however, has faced challenges, reporting $21.4 billion in outflows during the same period.

Demand Outpaces Bitcoin Supply

Meanwhile, data averaged from Apollo and BiTBO revealed that U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs accumulated about 51,500 BTC in December 2024—nearly triple the 13,850 coins added to the circulating supply during the month.

This imbalance underscores the major role ETFs play in Bitcoin’s growing adoption. While miners produced fewer coins, ETFs absorbed a staggering 272% more than the newly minted supply, reflecting strong institutional and retail investor interest.

The momentum in spot markets has also been a driving factor, with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high of $108,135 on December 17. As Bitcoin ETFs continue to amass substantial holdings, they are increasingly shaping the dynamics of Bitcoin’s supply and demand.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $101,600, up by over 8% in the past seven days. As per the data by CoinMarketCap, the largest cryptocurrency currently boasts a market cap of $2.01 trillion.
