Bitcoin, Ether ETFs See Second-Highest Daily Inflows in History Amid Price Rally
Investor enthusiasm for Bitcoin and Ethereum reached a fever pitch on Thursday, with both crypto spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recording their second-largest daily inflows on record.
According to data from Farside Investors, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in a combined $1.17 billion in net inflows, as Bitcoin surged past $113,800, marking new all-time highs and maintaining upward momentum into Friday.
The largest contributors to the day’s haul were:
-
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT): $448 million
-
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund: $324 million
This influx trails only the record-breaking $1.37 billion in inflows on Nov. 7, 2024, the day Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election.
Ethereum ETFs Also Break Records
Ether spot ETFs also enjoyed a major spike in investor interest, drawing in a combined $383.1 million in net inflows — their second-highest daily total ever.

The standout performer was BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), which saw $300.9 million, its largest single-day inflow to date.
Advisor Reluctance Remains
Despite the surge in demand, traditional financial advisors remain hesitant to adopt crypto ETFs into client portfolios.
“Major platforms such as Vanguard are still gatekeeping these ETFs,” said Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, in a post on X.
Financial advisors, who control enormous amount of $$$, have barely even begun allocating to btc & eth ETFs…
Major platforms such as Vanguard are still gatekeeping these ETFs (which is laughable IMO).
And we’re still seeing near record inflows.
Think about that for a minute.

Demand Outpaces Supply
Data shows that investor demand via ETFs is outpacing the production of new coins:
-
In the past 24 hours, Ethereum’s net issuance was just 2,110 ETH (approx. $6.33 million), compared to Thursday’s ETF inflows of $383.1 million.
-
For Bitcoin, U.S. ETFs have acquired $28.22 billion worth of BTC in 2025, while miners have issued only $7.85 billion worth of new coins, according to Galaxy Research.
This widening gap between ETF demand and token issuance continues to drive bullish sentiment, with both retail and institutional investors viewing crypto ETFs as a preferred entry point into the market.
As legacy finance continues to wrestle with crypto’s growing legitimacy, Thursday’s ETF performance signals a seismic shift in mainstream adoption, with spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs becoming major vehicles for capital inflow in the digital asset space.
