Bitcoin ETFs Experience Surge with $3 Billion in Weekly Inflows

Bitcoin ETFs in the US saw inflows over $3 billion last week, marking the strongest week in 2025. The surge, driven by a recovering Bitcoin price and renewed institutional interest, reflects the second-largest inflow on record. Analysts attribute this growth to Bitcoin’s decoupling from traditional financial markets. Looking ahead, some predict Bitcoin could reach between $500,000 and $2.4 million by 2030.

Last week, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States experienced quite the surge, with inflows exceeding $3 billion. This significant performance is not just an everyday occurrence but marks one of the strongest weeks for these funds in 2025. Institutional investors appear rejuvenated, likely influenced by Bitcoin’s recovering price.

According to findings from SoSoValue, eleven spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively saw an inflow of about $3.06 billion over a notable six trading days. This uptick ranks as the second largest net inflow in the history of Bitcoin ETFs, showcasing a heightened demand for these crypto-centric financial products. The sharpest inflows occurred on April 22 and 23, with daily totals of $936 million and $916 million, respectively. Those days were among the most successful since the political landscape shifted with Donald Trump’s return to the White House early this year.

This recent investment wave has elevated the total assets under management (AUM) in Bitcoin ETFs to a staggering $109 billion. Leading the charge is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which now manages over $56 billion—this figure roughly corresponds to 3% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply. Notably, Michael Saylor, known for his leadership of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), anticipates that IBIT might evolve into the largest ETF in the world within the next decade.

Analysts have cited Bitcoin’s recent separation from traditional risk assets like U.S. stocks and gold as a primary reason for this inflow boost. Increased geopolitical strife, especially ongoing tariff disputes, seem to be enhancing Bitcoin’s allure as a fortress for investments. According to The Kobeissi Letter’s analysts, Bitcoin’s disconnection from macroeconomic indicators has notably supported its price recovery. After hitting a low below $75,000 on April 7, Bitcoin’s value has rebounded over 25%, now hovering above $94,000.

Mark Wlosinski, a crypto analyst, remarked, “As global money printing continues, so will Bitcoin’s price appreciation. Traditional paper money is simply backed by rising debt, and that situation has spiraled out of control. Bitcoin offers a remedy to our failing monetary system.” Meanwhile, David Puell from ARK Invest expressed his bullish stance, forecasting Bitcoin could soar as high as $2.4 million by 2030. He believes this surge will be fuelled by heightened institutional adoption and its emergence as a vital treasury asset for businesses and nations alike. His more cautious estimates still project Bitcoin reaching between $500,000 and $1.2 million over the same period.
