Bitcoin ETF Trading Volume Recorded Since Early 2025
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a record trading volume of $25 billion for the week of May 19-23, 2025, the highest volume since the beginning of the year.

The growing interest in stock products coincided with the renewal of the historical maximum of the Bitcoin price, which rose above $110,000. The experts paid special attention to the net capital inflow of $2.75 billion during the reporting period. This is one of the largest weekly inflows of funds since the launch of these instruments in early 2024. When investors buy ETF shares, management companies such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark Invest and others are required to purchase an equivalent amount of bitcoins to back their funds. This mechanism creates additional demand for digital gold, enhancing its market stability.
The total assets of all active spot Bitcoin ETFs already exceed $131.4 billion, making this instrument one of the key channels of access to the crypto market for institutional and retail investors. The leading position is occupied by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has seen a net inflow for 30 trading days in a row. At the end of the May 23 session, its managed assets exceeded $71 billion, meaning that BlackRock alone controls about 3.3% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Experts note that if the market previously perceived ETFs as a speculative instrument, now they are becoming part of a long-term capital preservation strategy, especially among family offices and pension funds.
Earlier, analysts from QCP Capital noted that Bitcoin remains a stable asset , despite the price correction, and has entered the phase of searching for a fair price.
