U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded unprecedented investor activity, attracting $2.7 billion in net inflows during a single week. This marks the highest weekly inflow since the ETFs launched in early 2024, signaling intensified institutional adoption.
Leading the market, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) amassed over $80 billion in assets under management within just 374 days of operation, setting a new industry benchmark for rapid asset accumulation.
The surging ETF demand drove Bitcoin’s price upwards by 8.85% over the same period, propelling the cryptocurrency to a new all-time high of $118,780.
Market analysts caution that the current pace of ETF purchases risks exceeding daily Bitcoin production, potentially creating a structural supply deficit amid rising demand.
Total assets under management across all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have now surpassed $140 billion, underscoring their emergence as a mainstream gateway for institutional capital entering the digital asset space.
