US spot bitcoin ETFs are back in the spotlight after a dramatic resurgence, recording over $1 billion in net inflows across just two trading days.
The powerful reversal follows a brief streak of outflows and reflects a dramatic return of investor confidence in the leading regulated Bitcoin investment vehicles.
In a major shift from Tuesday’s $342.2 million outflows, US spot bitcoin ETFs roared back with $407.8 million in net inflows on Wednesday and an even more impressive $601.8 million on Thursday, according to data from Farside Investors.
This bullish momentum pushes total cumulative inflows to nearly $50 billion since their January 2024 launch, a figure that proves the instruments’ growing appeal among both institutional and retail investors.
At the heart of this resurgence is Fidelity’s FBTC, which pulled in $421 million in just 48 hours — $184 million on Wednesday and $237.1 million on Thursday.
Not far behind, BlackRock’s IBIT, the category’s top performer for much of the year, returned to form after a brief two-day pause — its first since April — raking in $224.5 million on Thursday alone.
“These inflows show trust in institutional-grade vehicles for Bitcoin exposure,” said Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg.
“IBIT is just $9 billion away from becoming BlackRock’s top ETF by revenue. That’s unprecedented for a product not even a year old.”
Thursday also saw $5.3 billion in daily trading volume across US spot bitcoin ETFs, with IBIT contributing a staggering $4.1 billion — the highest daily tally since May.
This week’s rally builds on a highly bullish June, where US spot bitcoin ETFs logged a 15-day inflow streak that netted $4.7 billion. A whopping 81% of that was funneled into BlackRock’s IBIT, according to industry reports.
So far, these ETFs have amassed $14.5 billion in net inflows and now control nearly $128 billion in assets under management, with IBIT alone commanding $73.6 billion.
Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management, commented, “IBIT’s rise is a masterclass in strategic execution.
It’s already BlackRock’s third-highest revenue-generating ETF out of 1,197 products, beating some of their legacy funds.”
While US spot bitcoin ETFs dominate headlines, the next wave of momentum may come from altcoins.
Analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas have increased the odds of SEC approval for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin ETFs to 95%, up from 90%, citing mounting institutional interest and regulatory pressure.
“We believe the SEC is shifting toward broader digital asset inclusion,” Seyffart said. “A multi-asset crypto index ETF could even be approved this week, opening the floodgates for diversified crypto investment strategies.”
The analysts also place high odds on Dogecoin and Cardano ETFs, forecasting a 90% approval likelihood by year-end. However, assets like Sui and Tron face greater regulatory headwinds, with only 60% and 50% odds, respectively.
Since debuting in January 2024, US spot bitcoin ETFs have crossed a jaw-dropping $1 trillion in cumulative trading volume.
Their role as on-ramps for regulated exposure to Bitcoin continues to resonate deeply with institutional treasuries, family offices, and everyday investors.
The explosive return of capital into US spot bitcoin ETFs reinforces their status as the market’s most trusted crypto investment vehicle.
With nearly $50 billion in inflows and a potential greenlight for altcoin ETFs on the horizon, the ETF-driven crypto bull run looks far from over.
As regulatory clarity strengthens and investor demand grows, US spot bitcoin ETFs could be the spark that lights the next institutional wave.
