In 2024, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) achieved impressive net inflows of $35.65 billion, surpassing initial projections. Retail investors accounted for approximately 80% of the demand for these ETFs, though analysts anticipate increased institutional involvement in 2025. Leading the net inflow figures was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), with $37.31 billion, followed by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) at $11.84 billion, and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) with $2.49 billion. In contrast, combined outflows of $1.33 billion were noted in the latter part of December. Meanwhile, the spot Ether ETFs accumulated $2.68 billion in net inflows since their launch on July 23, 2024, with BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) and Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) leading the pack. Despite Ethereum’s underperformance compared to Bitcoin and Solana, experts predict a resurgence in 2025.
