In the first three days of 2025, cryptocurrency ETFs, prominently featuring Bitcoin and Ethereum, have added $585 million in assets, recovering from a profit-taking slump in December. This influx follows a remarkable performance in 2024, where $44 billion worth of assets entered crypto ETFs, significantly surpassing prior records. Bitcoin funds represent 29% of the assets managed by CoinShares, indicating strong investor interest. On January 5 alone, Bitcoin ETF issuers sold $908 million worth of shares. Analysts believe Bitcoin's performance by the end of January will be crucial, especially in light of Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) expectations. Although Bitcoin's price previously responded negatively to unchanged interest rates, recent developments since the Fed lowered rates in September have softened these responses. Additionally, market analyst Valentin Fournier suggests that Bitcoin's momentum may continue until Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20; however, he warns of potential pullbacks post-event unless market expectations are met.
