Bitcoin ETF Inflow Surges to $1.9 Billion Amid Pro-Crypto Push

Despite the DeepSeek threat followed by the market crash, the key investment product ETFs have seen a surge in investment inflows, fueled by President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance during his first week in office. Executive orders aimed at bolstering digital assets, including plans to establish a national Bitcoin reserve, have ignited investor interest. 

Bitcoin Leads the Pack Despite Price Fluctuations

In the week ending January 25, both Bitcoin and ETH ETFs attracted $1.9 billion, marking the second consecutive week inflows hovered near $2 billion. While slightly lower than the previous week, this sustained momentum highlights growing confidence in digital assets. Bitcoin ETFs were the clear frontrunner, accounting for $1.6 billion of the total inflows despite briefly dipping below the $100,000 mark and dominance rising to 57.84%. The cryptocurrency has since rebounded, trading above $102,000.

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) led with $186.07 million, bringing its total to $13.04 billion. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) followed with $155.69 million, reaching $60.62 billion in assets.

Ethereum-based funds also performed well, pulling in $205 million, although this was slightly lower than the previous week. The Bitwise Ethereum ETF (ETHW) led with $6.01 million, while the Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF (QETH) saw a rare $1.99 million inflow.

Smaller tokens, including XRP, Solana, and Polkadot, saw moderate inflows of $18.5 million, $6.9 million, and $2.6 million, respectively, reflecting a broad-based interest in the market.

Trump Trade – A Silver Lining? 

The inflows are also triggered by the news of many big institutions’ plans to invest in ETFs. Tuttle Capital recently announced its plans to double down its plans for 2x leveraged funds tied to XRP, Solana, Litecoin, Cardano, Chainlink, Polkadot, BNB, Bonk—and even the wildcards TRUMP and MELANIA. Giving a boost to the downmarket, the political scenario is positive as of now with no immediate catalyst in sight the market is expecting a bigger inflow in the coming days. 

According to James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, the strong inflow is majorly triggered by President Trump’s executive orders and a sense of belief that under his leadership crypto rules will be soft and in favor of digital assets. Crypto has seen a decade of unfair and political resistance towards digital innovation. Federal regulators have signaled a willingness to support the crypto industry, further boosting market sentiment.

With $4.8 billion invested in digital asset products so far this year, the crypto market is off to a robust start in 2025. On the flip side, Grayscale’s GBTC & Bitwise Invest’s BITB saw outflows of $97.87M & $18.54M, respectively.
