Year-End Pullback Fails to Dampen Funding Enthusiasm: US Crypto ETF Sees Net Inflow of Around $32 Billion in 2025
BlockBeats News, January 1st. Despite a year-end pullback in the crypto market in 2025, U.S. investors still poured approximately $31.77 billion into crypto ETFs throughout the year, indicating ongoing institutional demand.
Data shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs remained the main recipients of funds, with a net inflow of $21.4 billion in 2025, although this was a decrease from $35.2 billion in 2024. The spot Ethereum ETF experienced its first full trading year, attracting $9.6 billion throughout the year, nearly quadrupling compared to 2024. Additionally, since its listing at the end of October, the spot Solana ETF has seen a cumulative inflow of approximately $765 million.
On the issuer side, BlackRock continues to lead the market. Its IBIT Bitcoin ETF saw an inflow of $24.7 billion during the year, about five times the size of the second-place Fidelity FBTC, placing it at the forefront of net inflows for all ETFs in the market. Excluding IBIT, the remaining nine Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a combined net outflow of $3.1 billion during the year, with Grayscale GBTC seeing an outflow of approximately $3.9 billion.
Regarding Ethereum ETFs, BlackRock's ETHA still dominates, with a cumulative inflow of around $12.6 billion, but has not seen any new funds added for several consecutive days. Glassnode data indicates a recent weakening demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which may lead to a slowdown in the pace of inflows at the beginning of 2026.
Looking ahead, with the SEC's new universal listing standards, 2026 may see a wave of concentrated issuance of crypto ETFs. Bitwise expects that over 100 new crypto ETFs will be launched next year, but analysts caution that some products may gradually exit the market between 2026 and 2027 due to insufficient demand.
