Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have achieved a significant milestone, exceeding $50 billion in cumulative net inflows, a noteworthy feat less than two years after their inaugural launch in January 2024.
Key highlights include:
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs reached over $50 billion in net inflows within 18 months of their introduction.
- BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leads the sector, currently holding more than 700,000 BTC.
- Anticipation builds for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to soon approve ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin.
On July 9, the market recorded $218 million in net inflows, marking the fifth consecutive day of upward momentum, as per data from SoSoValue.
Within the past five trading days, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted nearly $1.52 billion in new investments.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge in July Following a Brief Decline
The upward trajectory of spot Bitcoin ETF inflows gained momentum throughout July after a temporary decline.
Following a $342 million net outflow on July 1, institutional demand experienced a robust recovery, with daily inflows peaking at $601.94 million on July 3.
Total net assets managed across all funds now reach approximately $139.39 billion.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) remains dominant, garnering a net inflow of $53 billion.
Fidelity’s FBTC trails with $12.29 billion in net inflows, while Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is unique in experiencing net outflows, having lost $23.34 billion since its transformation.
This week, IBIT solidified its market leadership by becoming the first ETF to hold over 700,000 BTC, representing more than 55% of all BTC accumulated in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Interestingly, reports indicate that BlackRock’s revenue from IBIT has surpassed that from its long-standing iShares Core S&P 500 ETF.
Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, remarked on IBIT’s rapid growth, noting that it has now become BlackRock’s third-most lucrative ETF among its 1,197 products, eclipsing even several of the firm’s premier traditional offerings.
The nearly $75 billion iShares Bitcoin ETF has only one month of outflows since its January 2024 launch…
It now generates more fee revenue for BlackRock than its largest ETF, the iShares S&P 500 ETF.
Simply a machine.
I offer a few thoughts here.

According to Bloomberg’s senior ETF analysts, there is a 95% likelihood that the SEC will approve spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin this year. This marks a notable increase from previous estimates of 90%, reflecting growing optimism for institutional-grade crypto products.
Analysts also predict that a crypto index ETF covering multiple assets could receive approval as early as this week, potentially expanding access to altcoins for traditional investors.
Institutional Bitcoin Interest Expands to Corporate Funds
Beyond ETFs, demand for Bitcoin among institutional investors is increasingly making its way into corporate treasuries.
Metaplanet from Japan recently acquired $237 million in BTC, positioning itself as the fifth-largest corporate holder with over 15,500 BTC.
In Europe, France’s The Blockchain Group and the UK’s Smarter Web Company also made significant purchases this week, obtaining $12.5 million and $24.3 million worth of Bitcoin, respectively.
Additionally, Tokyo-listed Remixpoint raised $215 million to support a planned acquisition of 3,000 BTC.
Bitcoin reached a record high of $112,000 on Wednesday, resulting in nearly $200 million in short liquidations.
Ether similarly surged, rising 6.6% in just 24 hours to trade at $2,778, with analysts foreseeing a potential breakout above $3,000 in the days ahead.
