US Bitcoin ETFs Achieve Significant Growth with Over $800M in Three Days

Investors are increasingly channeling funds into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, achieving remarkable inflows exceeding $800 million in just three days. The influx indicates escalating institutional interest in Bitcoin, with the week commencing with a notable $217 million in net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs, alongside $62.11 million for Ether ETFs, signaling a robust initiation to July.

BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF Surpasses 700,000 BTC

Data from Glassnode reveals that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) now owns over 700,000 Bitcoin, which constitutes 3.52% of the total circulating supply, a landmark accomplishment within just 18 months of its launch. The IBIT ETF is the most rapidly expanding financial product in history, amassing nearly $53 billion in inflows.

Jamie Elkaleh from Bitget Wallet remarks, “If ETF inflows persist at this rate, we might be on the cusp of a structural supply squeeze.”

“BlackRock holds 700k BTC now, and is 62% of the way there to passing Satoshi as the world’s largest single holder of Bitcoin. IBIT has absorbed 40k BTC per month on pace to hit 1.2 million by May 2026.”

Ether funds are witnessing a similar upward movement, with BlackRock’s ETHA attracting $53.21 million in new capital, while Fidelity’s FETH added $8.9 million. Investors are showing increasing confidence as Ether funds report no outflows this week.

Market Volatility on the Horizon

Despite the bullish sentiments, analysts from 99Bitcoins caution that the current price stability of Bitcoin, which is lingering within 2% of its all-time high, might soon give way to significant volatility. The market’s performance could hinge on whether delays in proposed tariffs or changes in fiscal policies materialize.

As President Donald Trump’s August 1 tariff deadline approaches, market participants remain vigilant. While risk assets, including Bitcoin, are currently viewed as having brushed off the impending tariff threats, any follow-through could drastically alter the market landscape in the latter half of the year.

For now, Bitcoin ETFs are thriving amid a climate of calm macro conditions and positive momentum.
