This year, trading volume for Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. has reached record levels, indicating increased investor interest.
IBIT's Advantages from BlackRock
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) reported no outflows for the past 30 days and has raised $9 billion in 2025. This position has made the fund one of the top five ETFs in the U.S., with IBIT ranking 47th overall in the global digital investment market.
Recently, IBIT recorded $6.96 billion in inflows, placing it ahead of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which attracted $6.5 billion. This rise occurred alongside Bitcoin reaching an all-time high.
Growth Expectations for Bitcoin ETFs
Crypto asset manager Bitwise forecasts that institutional engagement with Bitcoin ETFs is just the beginning. The company expects Bitcoin ETFs to bring in $120 billion in 2025 and an additional $300 billion in 2026. This outpaces gold's growth, as Bitcoin ETFs reached $125 billion in assets within one year, 20 times quicker than gold.
Analysts' Predictions for Future Bitcoin Inflows
Bitwise analysts created three scenarios to project potential inflows into Bitcoin. In the most optimistic scenario, ETFs could attract $426.9 billion, potentially absorbing approximately 4.27 million BTC, representing over 20% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
The Bitcoin ETF market continues to grow, and with clearer regulations and increasing investor confidence, further capital inflows are anticipated.
