The surge in inflows follows the election of Donald Trump, whose administration promises a crypto-friendly stance. Plans for a Bitcoin reserve, for one, and regulatory rollbacks on restrictive crypto policies have boosted confidence in the market.
On election day alone, Bitcoin ETFs witnessed inflows amounting to $1.38 billion, and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust constituted the majority. This highlights growing institutional interest in Bitcoin exposure through ETFs. Collectively, US Bitcoin spot ETFs are now nearing 1 million BTC in holdings.
The broader cryptocurrency market also took a hit with Bitcoin changing hands close to $100,000. According to analysts, such momentum would see BTC close the year at $117,000.
In addition to record inflows, the market has expanded with options trading for Bitcoin ETFs. These tools provide investors with more strategies to manage their exposure.
Industry leaders view the developments as transformative for institutional adoption. Matt Hougan of Bitwise noted the confidence these changes bring to large-scale investors.
November’s record inflows underline the growing significance of Bitcoin ETFs in mainstream finance. With regulatory support and increasing investor interest, the products are reshaping Bitcoin’s role in global markets.
