For the first time since their debut in January 2024, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have posted over $1 billion in inflows on two consecutive days, highlighting a surge in investor interest.
Data from Farside shows that on Friday, the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $1.03 billion, following a remarkable $1.17 billion influx on Thursday. This marks a historic milestone, as it’s the first time two $1B+ days have occurred back-to-back.
In total, the ETFs pulled in $2.72 billion during the week — a period that coincided with Bitcoin reaching new price records. On Wednesday, Bitcoin’s value climbed to an all-time high of $112,000, and by Friday it had surged further to $118,780, according to CoinMarketCap.
Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, noted on X that there have only been seven days with inflows over $1 billion since these ETFs launched — and two of those just happened this week. The previous $1B+ day before this streak was on January 17.
Thursday’s $1.17 billion inflow now ranks as the second-largest daily haul for U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, trailing only the $1.37 billion seen on November 7, 2024 — the day Donald Trump secured the U.S. presidency.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan pointed out that while only about 450 BTC were mined on Thursday, ETFs collectively acquired around 10,000 — indicating extreme demand.
On a similar note, Jan3 highlighted that ETF buying on Wednesday was roughly 22 times the amount of Bitcoin mined that day. CEO Samson Mow warned that such demand “is not sustainable at these price levels.”
The rally also boosted BlackRock’s IBIT fund past $80 billion in assets under management, making it the quickest ETF to hit that benchmark — achieving it in just 374 days. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas remarked that IBIT has now become more profitable for BlackRock than its well-known iShares Core S&P 500 ETF.
Balchunas also noted that total assets across all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have now exceeded $140 billion for the first time, with the rising BTC price playing a major role in pushing those numbers up.
