On July 9, 2025, Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. surpassed a total inflow threshold of $50 billion for the first time. This milestone signifies a key moment for institutional investors in the crypto market.
Surge in Bitcoin ETFs Inflows
According to data from SoSoValue, net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs amounted to $218.04 million, raising the cumulative inflow to $50.16 billion. BlackRock's IBIT led with $125.58 million, followed by Ark & 21Shares' ARKB with $56.96 million, and Grayscale's Mini Bitcoin Trust with $15.83 million. The total inflow over just three months has exceeded $12 billion.
Institutional Interest in Bitcoin
BTC Markets analyst Rachael Lucas noted that this level of inflow reflects controlled capital inflow from asset managers, corporate treasuries, and wealthy individuals. Regulated ETFs provide investors access to cryptocurrencies through the same channels as equities and bonds. Lucas emphasized that cryptocurrencies are now being viewed as long-term macro assets.
Ethereum ETFs Market Dynamics
Investor interest extends beyond Bitcoin. SoSoValue's data indicates that spot Ethereum ETFs attracted $52.70 million on the same day, bringing total net inflows to $4.56 billion. Expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts and easing geopolitical tensions further promote cryptocurrency demand, despite analysts warning of potential short-term volatility.
The surpassing of the $50 billion threshold for Bitcoin ETFs marks a significant increase in institutional interest in cryptocurrencies. Investors are becoming more confident and viewing Bitcoin and Ethereum as important assets for long-term investment.
