Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Surge: $1.1 Billion in Just One Day! What’s Driving This Momentum?

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have experienced a remarkable surge, attracting $1.1 billion in combined inflows on Monday, marking a significant recovery after starting the year with a $320 million dip.

A Two-Day Streak of Success

Over the last two trading days, these spot ETFs have collectively brought in $1.75 billion in 2025, according to CoinGlass data. This comes after a year where investors funneled $38 billion into these products, facilitating easier access to leading cryptocurrencies via traditional brokerage accounts in the U.S.

Daily Inflows and Market Excitement

On Friday and Monday, daily inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs reached $907 million and $978 million, respectively, surpassing the $900 million mark only four times last year. This surge is attributed to the anticipated pro-crypto administration of President-elect Donald Trump, as investors seem eager to capitalize on potential regulatory changes that could favor cryptocurrency.

Shifts in ETF Dominance

Interestingly, recent inflows have favored the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) over BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has historically dominated the market. Since the start of the year, FBTC has garnered $763 million, while IBIT has attracted $110 million.

Price Movements

As the inflows continued, Bitcoin's price climbed above $100,000 for the first time this year, reaching $108,000 in December before dipping slightly to just under $97,000 at the time of writing. On the other hand, spot Ethereum ETFs have seen a less dramatic inflow, totaling $110 million so far in 2025 following a previous $77.5 million outflow.
