Summary:

  • Crypto ETFs dominate the market with record inflows in 2024.

  • BlackRock’s IBIT leads with over $37 billion in positive net flows.

  • Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s ETHA follow with $12.2 billion and $3.5 billion respectively.

  • Bitcoin ETFs are attracting significantly more inflows compared to Ethereum ETFs.

  • Analysts predict $35 billion in inflows for Bitcoin ETFs in 2025.

Crypto ETFs

In 2024, the landscape of crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has seen significant developments. The eight largest funds launched this year, which include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and MicroStrategy ETFs, have outperformed a staggering 740 ETFs that debuted in the same timeframe.

Leading the Charge

The standout performer is BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, which achieved over $37 billion in positive net flows within its first year, marking it as the best ETF debut in history. Currently, it boasts nearly $53 billion in assets under management (AUM).

Following closely is Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETF, FBTC, with $12.2 billion in inflows, while BlackRock’s spot Ethereum ETF, ETHA, secured third place with $3.5 billion.

A Clear Discrepancy

This data highlights a stark contrast between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, with the largest Ethereum fund's inflows being 11 times lower than its Bitcoin counterpart.

The list also features:

  • ARK and 21Shares’ ARKB: $2.6 billion
  • Bitwise’s BITB: $2.2 billion
  • YieldMax’s MSTY (MicroStrategy-related): nearly $1.8 billion
  • Fidelity’s FETH (second Ethereum ETF): just over $1.5 billion
  • Defiance’s MSTX (second MicroStrategy ETF): $1.4 billion inflows.

Future Projections

Analysts express optimism regarding the future of crypto ETFs in the U.S., with Bitwise estimating that Bitcoin ETFs alone could attract $35 billion in inflows next year, pushing cumulative totals past $70 billion in less than two years. Bloomberg analysts anticipate a wave of new crypto-related ETFs next year, and regulatory conditions are expected to improve, paving the way for a potential Solana ETF by 2025.

Recent data indicates that U.S.-traded spot Bitcoin ETFs garnered $12.1 billion in inflows from November 6 to December 27, accounting for 34% of their total yearly flows. Spot Ethereum ETFs also saw a resurgence with $3.2 billion in inflows during the same period, reversing previous negative trends.
