That is smaller than the $35 billion that poured into Bitcoin ETFs in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>Blackrock Dominates Flows<\/h2>\n<p>BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, IBIT, accounted for most of the activity. Reports show IBIT took in about $24.7 billion. That makes its inflows roughly five times larger than the nearest rival, Fidelity\u2019s FBTC.<\/p>\n<p>Market watchers noted IBIT ranked near the top among all ETF flows, placing behind only a few broad index funds and a big treasury bond fund.<\/p>\n<p>If IBIT\u2019s number is removed, the wider spot Bitcoin ETF group actually finished the year with about $3 billion in combined outflows.<\/p>\n<p>Grayscale\u2019s Bitcoin product lost nearly $4 billion on the year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> was lower than at the start of 2025; it began the year around $93,500.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum Interest Strong But Cooling<\/h2>\n<p>Based on reports, interest in Ethereum ETFs was real, but the momentum looks uneven. BlackRock\u2019s iShares Ethereum Trust, ETHA, sits at nearly $12.6 billion in inflows. Fidelity\u2019s FETH follows at $2.6 billion, while Grayscale\u2019s Ethereum Mini Trust ETF holds about $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Still, public on-chain data showed little renewed demand for spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in the last month of the year, suggesting flows may slow into 2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/247wallst.com\/investing\/2025\/12\/30\/xrp-etfs-pull-in-1-3b-in-50-days-what-the-data-suggests-if-flows-reach-5b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ether ETFs<\/a> benefited from being new and giving investors a regulated way to own ETH, but recent days have seen quieter buying.<\/p>\n<p>Spot Ether ETFs, which only became widely tradable after their July 2024 launch, gathered $9.6 billion in their first full year. Spot Solana ETFs, launched in late October, added $765 million through year end.<\/p>\n<p>Altcoin ETFs Show Curiosity, Not Frenzy<\/p>\n<p>Litecoin and XRP ETFs also began trading in the latter half of the year, giving investors more choices for regulated altcoin exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The sums are small compared with Bitcoin and Ether. Solana\u2019s $765 million is an example of early interest that has not yet turned into a large, steady stream of assets. These products are being tested by the market.<\/p>\n<p>Global Flows Tell A Different Story<\/p>\n<p>Industry trackers reported that crypto ETFs listed worldwide experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/etfgi.com\/news\/press-releases\/2025\/12\/crypto-etfs-listed-globally-suffered-net-outflows-us295-billion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$2.95 billion in net outflows<\/a> in November, and there was about $179 billion invested in crypto ETFs globally at the end of that month.<\/p>\n<p>Regulators and exchanges moved faster this year under new SEC leadership that was more open to approvals, which in turn helped institutional adoption in the US.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Farside Investors data, US investors put close to $32 billion into US crypto exchange-traded funds in 2025 even as markets lost steam late in the year.
