Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a significant surge, recording a record $3 billion net inflow during the week ending April 25, 2025. This marked the strongest inflow in five weeks and fueled a ripple effect on Bitcoin prices and market trends. Led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, this influx reflects increasing institutional interest, notably from leaders like BlackRock. This momentum has bolstered Bitcoin’s price and market capitalization, potentially impacting investment patterns for years to come. 80% of ETF assets are held by retail investors, but BlackRock and Fidelity’s significant influence on the market creates volatility that requires careful observation.
