Spot Bitcoin ETFs represented 67% of almost $32 billion in crypto ETF inflows in 2025.

In 2025, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted nearly 67% of over $31.77 billion in total inflows reported by all crypto ETFs, primarily benefiting BlackRock’s leading BTC fund, IBIT.

As per data from Farside Investors, the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs accumulated a total of $21.4 billion in net inflows during 2025, with BlackRock’s IBIT capturing the majority at $24.7 billion.

While many Bitcoin ETFs experienced slight increases in net inflows, Grayscale’s GBTC fund acted as a drag with $3.9 billion in outflows, resulting in a cumulative outflow of $3.1 billion for the year.

As of now, IBIT has seen combined flows of $62 billion since its launch, surpassing Fidelity’s FBTC, its closest competitor, by over five times.

The fourth quarter of 2025 marked the sole negative quarter of the year, measuring net outflows of $1.15 billion. By contrast, the second and third quarters yielded impressive inflows of $12.8 billion and $8.8 billion, respectively.

Despite leading the pack in crypto ETF inflows, BTC ETFs still fell short of the $35.2 billion net inflows recorded in 2024.

Turning to Ethereum, the nine Ether ETFs garnered $9.6 billion from investors in 2025, representing a fourfold increase in inflows compared to 2024. Notably, this was the first full year these ETFs were available for trading, launching after mid-2024.

Newly established spot Solana ETFs have attracted around $765 million in net inflows since their launch in late October last year.

Though both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs had strong performances throughout most of the year, data from Glassnode indicates a cautious approach. Demand for spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs significantly decreased in December, hinting at a potential slow beginning for these crypto ETFs as 2026 approaches.

This outlook becomes increasingly plausible given that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have seen steep declines since mid-October, driven by various macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that affected investor sentiment, a trend persisting through year-end.

As of January 1, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was trading at $87,719, down nearly 30.5% from its all-time high in October 2025.

The leading cryptocurrency has displayed multiple bearish patterns on its daily chart, suggesting a potential continuation of its downward trend in the months to come.

These patterns include a death cross where the 50-day SMA falls below the 200-day SMA and a bearish flag, as previously noted by analysts at crypto.news.

Currently, a symmetrical triangle pattern is also forming on the daily chart, characterized by two converging trendlines shaping a symmetrical triangle.

A breakdown below the lower trendline typically indicates further declines in asset price. Currently, Bitcoin price is nearing a confirmation of a bearish breakout from this pattern.

For the time being, traders will be eyeing the key psychological support level at $86,000 closely. A drop below this threshold could lead to a move down to November’s low of $82,175.
