Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Record Second-Highest Inflows Amid Surging Market Demand

The Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) spot Exchange-traded Funds (ETFs) have recorded the second-highest daily inflows on 11 July 2025. This movement signaled the renewed institutional confidence in the ETFs and the retail interest in the crypto markets as the prices soared to fresh highs.

According to the data taken from Farside Investors, the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF secured $1.17 billion in inflows. This was led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which pulled in $448 million, whereas Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund added $324 million.

The surge in investment activity coincides with Bitcoin’s rally past $118K, extending its bullish momentum into the coming week.

Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Record Second-Highest Inflows

The current Bitcoin and Ether ETF inflow is not the first time the spot Exchange-traded Funds have surprised the crypto market. On 7 November 2024, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.37 billion in inflows when Donald Trump was elected as the president of the United States of America.

At the same time, Ether spot ETF has also witnessed historic traction in the market. Its net inflows totaled $383.1 million, the second-largest daily influx ever recorded for Ether funds. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) was the primary investor. It accounted for $300.9 million, which is the fund’s highest single-day inflow since inception.

Despite the rally, many traditional financial advisors and platforms remain cautious. Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management, noted in an X.com (formerly Twitter) post that legacy institutions continue to restrict access. “Major platforms such as Vanguard are still gatekeeping these ETFs,” he remarked.

The soaring interest in crypto ETFs is now outpacing new coin issuance. Ethereum's net issuance over the past 24 hours stood at just 2,110 ETH (approximately $6.33 million), a fraction of the capital flowing into Ether ETFs on the same day.

Bitcoin’s supply-demand dynamics are even more striking. According to Galaxy Research, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock and Fidelity products, have purchased over $28.22 billion worth of Bitcoin in 2025 so far. In contrast, Bitcoin miners have produced only $7.85 billion worth of new supply during the same period, underscoring a significant supply squeeze.

The growing mismatch between demand and issuance could fuel further price momentum, especially as major institutional players deepen their exposure through regulated investment vehicles like ETFs.

With both Bitcoin and Ether hitting new milestones and ETF participation growing steadily, the crypto market appears poised for an intensified bullish phase, provided regulatory headwinds and institutional hesitations gradually fade.
