Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States have reached their highest trading volume this year. In just one week, these ETFs pulled in $25 billion, showing strong investor interest. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led this rise, making big moves in both inflows and popularity. BlackRock’s IBIT Moves to the Top BlackRock’s IBIT saw 30 days straight with no outflows and has brought in $9 billion in 2025. This significant influx has positioned the fund among the top five ETFs in the United States this year, with IBIT ranking 47th overall in the global digital investment market. Recently, IBIT recorded $6.96 billion in inflows, placing it ahead of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) , which had $6.5 billion. This shift happened around the same time Bitcoin’s price reached an all-time high (ATH). Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas said many Bitcoin ETFs were seeing double their normal daily flows. Bitwise Expects To See More Growth In Bitcoin ETFs Crypto asset manager Bitwise forecasts that institutional engagement with Bitcoin ETFs is just the beginning. In a recent report, the company expects Bitcoin ETFs to bring in $120 billion in 2025 and another $300 billion in 2026. Bitwise noted that the crypto fund has grown faster than the gold ETF since its launch. Within one year, Bitcoin ETFs reached $125 billion in assets, 20 times quicker than gold. If growth continues at this pace, Bitwise believes Bitcoin ETFs could bring in $100 billion annually by 2027. This would make Bitcoin more attractive than gold for many large investors and financial institutions. Despite the rapid growth, many potential investments have not yet entered the market. In 2024, about $35 billion in potential Bitcoin demand did not enter the market. Major firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs held back due to internal rules. Nevertheless, this hesitation will likely fade as Bitcoin ETFs continue to perform well and rules around them become clearer. As big investors gain more trust, they will likely join in. Analysts Project Future Bitcoin Capital Inflows Bitwise analysts created three scenarios to predict how much money could flow into Bitcoin. They believe even in the lowest case, Bitcoin inflows could reach $200 billion . If adoption grows steadily, inflows could reach $600 billion. In the most hopeful case, Bitcoin could attract hundreds of billions more as governments, states, and companies invest more heavily. The most optimistic case shows Bitcoin ETFs could attract $426.9 billion or even more, as governments, states, and companies increase their investments. If realized, this final scenario would result in the absorption of approximately 4.27 million BTC, representing over 20% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
