Bitcoin ETFs Surge: $900M Inflows Fuel $200K BTC Projections for 2025

• Friday saw a dramatic rise in US Bitcoin ETF inflows, climbing to $900 million, with Fidelity taking the lead with $370.2 million.
• Spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted $36.9 billion in net inflows over the past year, fueling predictions of Bitcoin reaching $200K in 2025 amid rising institutional demand.

U.S. Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have seen inflows reach an astonishing $900 million, signaling a renewed interest in Bitcoin investment amid the ongoing fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market. According to data from Farside Investors, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund garnered $370.2 million; this is a reflection of growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin.

Close behind, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF attracted $209 million, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF secured third place with $153 million, further underscoring the strengthening demand for Bitcoin-focused investment products.

Other funds experienced steady but less remarkable activity. The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and Grayscale’s two spot Bitcoin ETFs (GBTC and BTC) collectively attracted over $70 million in inflows on January 6. Meanwhile, the VanEck Bitcoin ETF brought in $17.3 million, and the Franklin Bitcoin ETF added $8.9 million to its assets.

However, not all funds were shared in the day’s momentum. The ETFs issued by Invesco, Valkyrie, and WisdomTree recorded no inflows. Such uneven performance illustrates the competition among Bitcoin ETF issuers to attract capital, particularly as investors gravitate toward more established or higher-performing funds.

The strong inflows on January 3 and 6 have nearly offset the $1.9 billion in net outflows recorded between December 19 and January 2. As of January 6, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs accumulated approximately $700 million in net inflows since the start of the year, signaling a renewed interest from investors.

As we reported, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF leads the pack with $37.4 billion in net inflows, followed by the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund at $11.4 billion. In contrast, Grayscale’s converted GBTC suffered a staggering $21.4 billion in net outflows, reflecting shifts in investor sentiment and competition among funds.

Future Price Predictions For Bitcoin

Inflows into spot ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, have played a pivotal role in driving Bitcoin’s price for some time, and this trend is expected to persist in the near term. As Bitcoin’s price edges closer to the $110,000 milestone, analysts are setting their sights on a potential breakthrough to $200,000.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted a significant outflow of Bitcoin from exchanges over the past week. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently reported that over 48,000 BTC, worth more than $4.5 billion, have been withdrawn from exchanges, signaling increased accumulation by long-term holders. Meanwhile, Mike Colonnese, an analyst at HC Wainwright, predicts Bitcoin will reach $225,000 by the end of 2025.

Colonnese’s forecast is driven by factors such as historical price trends, the expected regulatory improvements in the U.S., and the growing institutional adoption. In a more ambitious projection, Dr. Jeff Ross, founder and managing partner of Vailshire Capital Management, believes Bitcoin could surge to an astonishing $475,000 by the fourth quarter of 2025.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $101,806, up 1.25% on the day. This rise follows a strong performance over the past 24 hours, where the cryptocurrency surged by 2.54% and an impressive 9.75% gain over the last week.
