Bitcoin ETF and Crypto Investments Inflows Hit $2.2B Amid ‘Trump Trade’ Euphoria

• Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs pulled over $1 billion in daily net inflows on Jan. 17, 2025.
• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs command $120.95 billion in BTC, or 5.84% of Bitcoin’s market cap.
• Digital asset investment products have recorded $2.8 billion in inflows since Jan. 1, 2025.

The U.S. Presidential election continues to provide markets with bullish momentum, and crypto investments are riding high once again ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, with over $2.2 billion in net inflows, last week.

Digital Asset Inflows

As per the latest CoinShares report , Bitcoin ( BTC ), Ethereum ( ETH ), Ripple ( XRP ) and other digital assets experienced solid inflows for the week ending Jan. 17, 2025, with institutional crypto investment products reaching all-time highs  for assets under management (AUM).

The report notes that overall, $2.2 billion poured into crypto products last week, which follows a particularly bearish week that saw just $48 million in net inflows. Spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other BTC products were the biggest draw, claiming just over $1.9 billion of the week’s $2.2 billion.

Notably, XRP investments saw a sturdy $31 million in inflows, raising cumulative inflows since mid-November 2024 to $484 million. Ethereum inflows, which include spot ETH ETFs, managed to peel back from a two-week outflow streak, drawing in $246 million last week.

Bitcoin ETFs

As per data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin ETFs ended the week on a high with $979.22 million in net inflows on Jan. 17, 2025. This would bring the week’s cumulative net inflows to roughly $1.86 billion.

Notable gainers include BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ( IBIT ), which pulled $375.92 million on Jan. 17. This brings the funds’ cumulative net inflows to $48.41 billion, and net assets to $49.28 billion.

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) garnered inflows of $326.26 million, raising its cumulative net inflows to $12.84 billion. FBTC commands $22.33 billion in net assets.

The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) posted $208.07 million in net inflows. This raises its cumulative net inflows to $2.44 billion and now holds $4.51 billion in net assets.

After a week of overbearing corrections across the crypto market, which were considered a sign that the “Trump Trade” was finally over, it would appear that institutional and retail investors are continuing to bet favorably on the world’s most powerful leader, hoping he’ll follow up on his many pledges to crypto.
