Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw $1.1 billion in combined inflows on Monday, establishing positive momentum after the spot funds started the year with a $320 million hiccup.
With a two-day streak of positive inflows, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have now collectively attracted $1.75 billion in 2025, despite starting the trading year in the red, according to CoinGlass data.
Last year, investors poured $38 billion into the products after their Wall Street debut, a development that made it easier for financial market participants to gain exposure to the leading cryptocurrencies through traditional brokerage accounts in the US
Experts hailed the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs as a historic successbut nearly a year after their approval, the products are having some of their best days yet in 2025.
Daily inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $900 million just four times last year. On Friday and Monday, they pulled in $907 million and $978 million, respectively.
Bitwise senior investment strategist Juan Leon attributed the inflows to the impending return of President-elect Donald Trump. Leon told me Decrypt which investors could set aside to discover crypto ETFs in anticipation of his pro-crypto administration assumes the White House in less than two weeks.
“There’s a lot of excitement about what this administration might get done, in terms of the (pro-crypto) regulatory agenda,” he said. “We’ve seen quite a few government picks from the Trump administration, whether it’s the SEC or the Treasury, that are pro-crypto people.”
Over the past three trading days, inflows have largely been directed toward the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), representing a change of pace from the dominance of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which broke record after record last year.
Since the start of the trading year, IBIT has raised $110 million. Meanwhile, FBTC has pulled in $763 million, with Monday’s $370 million inflows representing the third best day ever.
IBIT managed daily outflows just eight times last year, as the product pulled in close to $37 billion over the course of 2024. On Thursday 332 million dollars in outflows outweighed the combined total of all last year’s negative days.
As spot Bitcoin ETFs saw strong inflows on Monday, the asset climbed above $100,000 for the first time this year after reaching $108,000 in December. By Tuesday, however, the asset’s price had fallen 5% to just under $97,000 at the time of writing.
For spot Ethereum ETFs, a two-day streak of inflows has been less conspicuous. After $77.5 million in outflows on Friday, the product class has pulled in $110 million in 2025, so far.
