According to Farside Investors data, US investors put close to $32 billion 
into US crypto exchange-traded funds in 2025 even as markets lost steam late 
in the year. Related Reading: Crypto Headed For A $10 Trillion Future? 
Hoskinson Says RWA Is The Key Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew the biggest share, with 
$21.4 billion in net inflows. That is smaller than the $35 billion that poured 
into Bitcoin ETFs in 2024. Blackrock Dominates Flows BlackRock’s iShares 
Bitcoin Trust ETF, IBIT, accounted for most of the activity. Reports show IBIT 
took in about $24.7 billion. That makes its inflows roughly five times larger 
than the nearest rival, Fidelity’s FBTC. Market watchers noted IBIT ranked 
near the top among all ETF flows, placing behind only a few broad index funds 
and a big treasury bond fund. If IBIT’s number is removed, the wider spot 
Bitcoin ETF group actually finished the year with about $3 billion in combined 
outflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin product lost nearly $4 billion on the year. 
Bitcoin’s price was lower than at the start of 2025; it began the year around 
$93,500. Ethereum Interest Strong But Cooling Based on reports, interest in 
Ethereum ETFs was real, but the momentum looks uneven. BlackRock’s iShares 
Ethereum Trust, ETHA, sits at nearly $12.6 billion in inflows. Fidelity’s FETH 
follows at $2.6 billion, while Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust ETF holds about 
$1.5 billion. Still, public on-chain data showed little renewed demand for 
spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in the last month of the year, suggesting flows 
may slow into 2026. Ether ETFs benefited from being new and giving investors a 
regulated way to own ETH, but recent days have seen quieter buying. Spot Ether 
ETFs, which only became widely tradable after their July 2024 launch, gathered 
$9.6 billion in their first full year. Spot Solana ETFs, launched in late 
October, added $765 million through year end. Altcoin ETFs Show Curiosity, Not 
Frenzy Litecoin and XRP ETFs also began trading in the latter half of the 
year, giving investors more choices for regulated altcoin exposure. The sums 
are small compared with Bitcoin and Ether. Solana’s $765 million is an example 
of early interest that has not yet turned into a large, steady stream of 
assets. These products are being tested by the market. Related Reading: Gold
