Spot Crypto ETFs Soak Up $20B Since April—US Markets Can’t Get Enough
Wall Street’s new crypto crush is here—and it’s swallowing capital whole.
The Gold Rush 2.0
Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs just vacuumed up nearly $20 billion in three months, outpacing every other asset class in the US. Traders are piling in like it’s 2021—except this time, the suits are leading the charge.
Institutional FOMO Hits Hard
BlackRock’s paperwork couldn’t hide the hunger: pension funds and hedge funds now want ‘digital gold’ without the hassle of cold storage. The irony? These are the same players who called crypto a scam three years ago.
The Cynic’s Corner
Funny how Wall Street loves blockchain when they can slap a 2% management fee on it. The revolution will be tokenized—and monetized.

During this period, the 12 Bitcoin products attracted back-to-back daily inflows exceeding $1 billion on July 10 and 11. In addition, three other trading sessions during this run saw inflows above $900 million, reflecting a surge in institutional and retail interest.
The flow of capital into bitcoin ETFs suggests a growing appetite for exposure to digital assets, especially in an era of economic uncertainty. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated over $53 billion in total net inflows, underscoring Bitcoin’s rising stature as a mainstream investment vehicle.
Meanwhile, ethereum ETFs are also experiencing a surge, marking their strongest streak since their launch in July of the previous year.
For context, these Ethereum-focused funds have garnered over $1.1 billion in the last four trading days, signaling growing investor interest in Ethereum as a leading digital asset.
The consistent FLOW of capital into these ETFs highlights a significant shift in investor preferences toward the crypto market.
Spot crypto ETFs provide a unique advantage of offering indirect exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum, allowing investors to profit from price movements without directly holding the assets.
This structure helps mitigate risks related to asset custody and market volatility, making it an attractive option for those seeking exposure to the crypto market without the associated challenges of direct ownership.
