Bitcoin, Ether ETFs See Historic $1.5B Inflow as Investors Rush In
BlackRock and Fidelity Lead as Crypto ETFs Record Second-Biggest Daily Surge
Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw massive investor inflows on Thursday, marking their second-largest single-day gains since launch. The momentum came as Bitcoin soared past $113,800, drawing fresh capital from both retail and institutional players.
$1.17B Floods Into Bitcoin ETFs—BlackRock Takes the Lead
According to Farside Investors, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $1.17 billion in net inflows on Thursday alone. The largest share came from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which attracted $448 million, followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, pulling in $324 million.
This marks the second-highest daily inflow since November 7, 2024, when Bitcoin ETFs brought in $1.37 billion following Donald Trump’s election victory.
Ether ETFs Post $383M in Daily Inflows—ETHA Hits Personal Best
Ether spot ETFs weren’t left behind. Thursday saw them absorb $383.1 million, also their second-largest daily net inflow on record.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) was the top performer among Ethereum products, with a record $300.9 million net inflow.
Legacy Finance Still Hesitant—Despite the Surge
In a post on X, NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci noted the near-record inflows came despite pushback from traditional financial platforms like Vanguard, which still restrict access to Bitcoin and Ether ETFs.
“Major platforms such as Vanguard are still gatekeeping these ETFs,” Geraci wrote.
ETF Demand Now Outpaces Coin Issuance
The data suggests an unprecedented imbalance between demand and supply.
In the last 24 hours, Ethereum’s net issuance was just 2,110 ETH, valued at around $6.33 million, according to Ultra Sound Money. That pales in comparison to the $383.1 million that flowed into Ether ETFs on Thursday.
On the Bitcoin side, U.S. spot ETFs and Strategy (MSTR) have collectively purchased $28.22 billion worth of BTC in 2025, while miners have only issued $7.85 billion worth of new coins, according to Galaxy Research.
ETF Inflows Send a Clear Signal: Crypto is Institutional Now
With Bitcoin and Ether ETFs consistently absorbing more than the daily issuance of their respective cryptocurrencies, the market is entering a new phase. As ETF adoption grows and barriers slowly fall, supply pressure could become a defining force for prices in the months ahead.
