Landmark $6 billion influx boosts Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs
June 2025 was a landmark month for US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as they collectively secured nearly $6 billion in fresh inflows.
This impressive performance marks one of their strongest showings this year, reflecting heightened institutional interest in crypto.
According to SoSoValue data, Bitcoin-focused ETFs attracted the lion’s share of the funds, raising $4.6 billion over 15 days of consistent inflows. This brought their cumulative total to approximately $49 billion in flows, with $134 billion in net assets.
Among these funds, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) stood out, pulling in $3.85 billion, making it the highest-grossing Bitcoin ETF and reinforcing its position as a dominant player in the sector.
Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs saw a substantial $1.16 billion in new capital, their second-best performance since launching in 2024.
Ethereum’s growth is primarily attributed to continued institutional enthusiasm following its successful Pectra upgrade, which enhanced its scalability and security. These Ethereum ETFs now boast $4.2 billion in net inflows and over $10 billion in assets.
Crypto ETF summer
The solid performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has fueled speculation that the SEC is poised to approve additional cryptocurrency ETFs soon.
On June 30, Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart raised their approval odds for Solana, Litecoin, and XRP ETFs to 95% by 2025, citing positive developments in the regulatory landscape and increasing institutional demand.
The analysts predict that the second half of 2025 will see a wave of new ETF approvals, with the SEC potentially clearing multiple crypto index and basket ETFs by early July.
Other altcoins such as Dogecoin, Cardano, Polkadot, and Avalanche are also on the radar, with analysts assigning a 90% chance of SEC approval later in the year.
The optimism surrounding these ETFs is largely attributed to the supportive stance of the current US administration, under President Donald Trump, who has advocated for pro-crypto policies.
This shift is fueling the belief that the crypto market could be entering a new era of growth and regulatory clarity.

Deutsche Bank: The "fifth wave of tech stock rally" in US stocks since late July has peaked, prepare for a "V-shaped reversal"
Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating on US technology stocks from overweight to neutral, noting that the fifth round of tech stock rally since July 29 is approaching the upper boundary of the long-term trend channel. The current upside potential is only about 4 percentage points, while historical trends indicate downside risks could reach 16 percentage points. Funds are expected to rotate into other sectors, and the European market, with its lower tech exposure, is likely to benefit relatively. However, Deutsche Bank emphasized that the long-term outperformance trend of technology stocks remains unchanged.
How expensive is AI computing power rental in the US? "Spot price" is twice that of long-term contracts, and four times the return threshold for cloud service providers.
The short-term spot leasing price for AI computing power reaches as high as $40 to $50 billion per gigawatt per year, while the price for long-term contracts is only $20 billion per year, and the breakeven threshold for supercomputing cloud operators is around $12 billion per year. However, according to Goldman Sachs, the fundamental reason why hyperscale cloud providers like Google rent computing power at such significant premiums is that their in-house capacity cannot keep up; once their own capacity catches up, the spot premium will disappear.
