Bitcoin ETFs near record $6.2b inflow in US as BTC eyes $100k

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed numerous trends and fluctuations that have shaped the investment landscape. The recent surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows, reaching an unprecedented $6.2 billion in November, is undeniably a significant event. The confluence of factors such as Bitcoin’s rally towards $100,000, President-elect Trump’s pro-crypto stance, and the increasing investor confidence in crypto ETFs, has created a perfect storm for this bullish trend.


Approximately twelve exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that deal with Bitcoin have amassed approximately $6.2 billion in investments during the month of November. This figure is rapidly approaching the monthly investment record, with Bitcoin currently hovering around $100,000.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing their best month to date, with approximately $6.2 billion in investments flowing into them during November. This growth can be attributed to Bitcoin’s rising value approaching $100,000 and the pro-cryptocurrency stance of President-elect Donald Trump, according to Bloomberg’s latest report.

According to the report, inflows (money flowing into) to ETF issuers like BlackRock and Fidelity are expected to surpass the $6 billion record set in February. Moreover, it mentions that Bitcoin is getting close to reaching the $100,000 mark.

Investment in the capital has increased following Trump’s promise to soften the Biden administration’s tough approach towards cryptocurrencies, which includes suggesting regulatory adjustments and the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. According to analysts interviewed by Bloomberg, these decisions, along with Bitcoin’s recent surge in popularity, are boosting investor trust in crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).

In the context of a Trump presidency, it’s anticipated that it could become simpler for businesses and pension plans to integrate Bitcoin into their investment portfolios.

Ethereum ETFs outpace Bitcoin in recent inflows

As a researcher, I’ve observed that this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission granted approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs, which came after a legal setback in 2023. While Chair Gary Gensler, who has been critical of the crypto industry, is now stepping down, his term also witnessed the endorsement of Ethereum-linked ETFs. Interestingly, these Ethereum-linked ETFs had minimal influence on Ethereum’s price compared to the significant surge experienced by Bitcoin.

Over the past few trading days, I’ve noticed a surge in interest for Ethereum-based Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), even outperforming Bitcoin ETFs when it comes to inflows before Thanksgiving. However, Bitcoin ETFs still hold a strong position, boasting a combined net asset value of $104.32 billion as of November 27th, according to SoSoValue.
