Thursday was a major day for crypto ETFs, as both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot funds recorded their second-largest daily inflows to date.
Investors poured $1.17 billion into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) drawing in $448 million and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund taking in $324 million, according to data from Farside Investors. This surge in investment coincided with Bitcoin surpassing the $113,800 mark, continuing its bullish momentum into Friday.
The only larger day for Bitcoin ETF inflows came on November 7, 2024, when $1.37 billion flowed in following Donald Trump’s presidential election win.
Ethereum spot ETFs also had a landmark day, attracting a combined $383.1 million in net inflows — their second-highest total ever. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) alone accounted for $300.9 million, setting a new personal best for daily inflows.
Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, highlighted the significance of these numbers in a Friday post on X. He noted that such strong flows are happening despite ongoing reluctance from traditional financial advisory firms to embrace these crypto products.
“Large institutions like Vanguard are still blocking access to these ETFs,” Geraci said.
Bitcoin Demand Surpasses Supply
Demand from these ETFs is significantly outpacing the production of new coins. Over the past day, Ethereum’s net issuance totaled 2,110 ETH — worth around $6.33 million — while Thursday’s ETF inflows for ETH were nearly 60 times higher.
Meanwhile, data from Galaxy Research shows that in 2025 alone, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs and related strategies have purchased $28.22 billion worth of BTC. In contrast, Bitcoin miners have only released $7.85 billion in new supply, highlighting a major supply-demand imbalance that could fuel further price growth.
