The landscape for US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) has intensified as investor optimism continues to soar. Recently, these investment products have recorded an impressive string of performances, marking only a single outflow day since June 9, 2025. As institutional and retail investors flock to the crypto-linked assets, there has been a remarkable influx of capital, solidifying Bitcoin’s standing as a favorable investment vehicle.
In an extraordinary turn of events, US Bitcoin ETFs closed the past week with unprecedented capital inflows. Notably, Friday, July 11, marked a remarkable net inflow of $1.03 billion, making it the second consecutive day that these ETFs posted 10-figure capital injections. This surge in investment can be closely tied to the astronomical rise in the price of Bitcoin, which has achieved multiple all-time highs within a few days, recently hitting around $118,700.
As the market data reflects, the Bitcoin ETFs have collectively reached an impressive $2.72 billion in total net inflows for the past week, marking it as one of the largest weekly inflows on record. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has been at the forefront of this movement, witnessing net inflows of $953.52 million alone, solidifying its dominance in the crypto ETF derivatives market. Notably, IBIT also achieved a milestone by becoming the fastest ETF to hit $80 billion in assets under management.
Meanwhile, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) registered added inflows of $23.51 million on the same day, yielding a robust performance. Other notable performers included Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) and VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF (HODL), both of which achieved significant inflows of $20.93 million and $20.01 million, respectively. Funds like Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Invesco’s BTCO also reported positive movements, albeit in smaller amounts.
The direct correlation between Bitcoin prices and the inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs has been evident in recent weeks. Each instance of a billion-dollar inflow coincides with notable price surges for Bitcoin. After the most recent inflows, Bitcoin’s price ascended to approximately $117,332, despite a slight decline of 0.3% in the past 24 hours. However, the cryptocurrency remains up over 8% for the week, indicating robust market sentiment as it stabilizes after hitting record highs.
Overall, as Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract substantial investments amid price increases, they symbolize a growing acceptance of cryptocurrency as a legitimate asset class. Investors are keen to leverage the upward momentum in Bitcoin while capitalizing on the innovative investment structures provided through these exchange-traded funds.
