2025 was a challenging year for the cryptocurrency market and industry, and it did not spare the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs)<\/a>. The US-based Bitcoin ETF market experienced wet and dry spells in equal proportions over the course of the year.<\/p>\n

However, BlackRock\u2019s spot Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (ticker: IBIT), has been a standout performer at times this year. According to the latest market data, the product\u2019s performance in 2025 has earned it a spot among some of the best funds in the global ETF market.<\/p>\n

BlackRock\u2019s IBIT Records $25 Billion Net Inflow In 2025<\/b>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

In a recent post on the social media platform X, senior Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas revealed<\/a> that BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin ETF has ranked sixth in net capital inflows in the past year. This feat comes despite the BTC exchange-traded fund posting a negative return in the same period.<\/p>\n

According to data shared by Balchunas, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT registered a net inflow of approximately $25 billion so far this past year. What\u2019s interesting is that the Bitcoin ETF pulled in this significant capital despite being the only fund with negative performance among the traditional equity and bond ETFs, as observed in the chart below.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, SPDR\u2019s GLD ETF, the world\u2019s largest physically backed gold exchange-traded product, lags behind BlackRock\u2019s IBIT in terms of capital inflows despite its 64% return in the year. Notably, Vanguard\u2019s S&P 500 ETF (VOO)<\/a> led the cohort with a year-to-date capital inflow of over $145 billion.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Balchunas highlighted that while the crypto community would naturally complain about the Bitcoin ETF\u2019s yield, it is also important to recognize the significant feat of attracting the sixth-largest capital in spite of this negative return. According to the ETF expert, this yearly performance is a good sign in the long term.<\/p>\n

If you can do $25b in a bad year, imagine the flow potential in a good year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Bloomberg analyst did credit the older, long-term investors (the boomers) in what he called a \u201cHODL clinic\u201d for the positive net inflows seen by BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin ETF.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin ETFs Record $497 Million Weekly Outflow<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to SoSoValue data<\/a>, the US-based Bitcoin ETFs closed the week with a total net outflow of $158 million on Friday, December 19. This brought the ETFs\u2019 record to about $497.05 million in outflows over the past week.<\/p>\n

The dismal run of performances in the Bitcoin ETF market can be seen in the price action of the premier cryptocurrency in recent weeks. The Bitcoin price is down by exactly 30% from its all-time high of $126,080.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $88,293, reflecting a 2% decline in the past seven days.<\/p>\n
