Bitcoin ETFs Drive Price Surge to Record High

Institutional demand for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has triggered a significant price surge, propelling the cryptocurrency beyond its previous record high. According to data from April 2025, investors poured in an unprecedented $3 billion into Bitcoin ETFs during the period of April 21-25, marking a rebound after a recent price dip. This influx is attributed to heavy buying activity by institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity, who have seen substantial inflows into their Bitcoin-focused products, such as IBIT and FBTC respectively. This surge signals growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term stability as a store of value.
