Investor appetite for Bitcoin is surging again—and this time, BlackRock is leading the charge. On June 16, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a staggering $266 million in daily inflows, pushing its cumulative net inflow above $50 billion. Across all spot Bitcoin ETFs, total net inflows exceeded $408 million in a single day, marking one of the most aggressive buying sessions in months.
The renewed momentum comes as Bitcoin hovers near the $107,000 mark, with traders increasingly confident that ETF-driven demand will continue to drive prices higher in the second half of 2025.
BlackRock Dominates ETF Flows
According to data, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF now commands over $73.25 billion in assets under management (AUM), solidifying its position as the dominant institutional vehicle for Bitcoin exposure. The ETF’s cumulative inflow of $50.03 billion is more than four times that of its nearest competitor, Fidelity’s FBTC.

Institutional investors appear to favor IBIT due to its deep liquidity, low fees (0.25%), and robust track record. On June 16 alone, IBIT saw over $2.6 billion in trading volume, a sign that major players are actively rotating capital into Bitcoin exposure.
Total Bitcoin ETF Inflows: $46 Billion and Rising
Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024, net inflows have surpassed $46 billion, reversing the bearish outflows seen in early 2025. June’s performance represents a strong reversal, with multiple ETFs posting back-to-back daily inflows.

This surge suggests institutional confidence is returning, possibly in anticipation of favorable macro conditions, increased crypto integration, or additional ETF approvals for altcoins like Ethereum and Solana.
What It Means for Bitcoin’s Price
With ETFs acting as a supply sink for BTC, analysts expect Bitcoin’s price to remain supported, even during broader risk-off periods. The $106K–$110K range is becoming a battleground, but if ETF inflows persist at this rate, Bitcoin could soon challenge its all-time high of $120K.
Some analysts are even forecasting a $130K–$140K breakout in Q3, particularly if macro conditions remain favorable and more sovereign funds begin allocating capital to BTC through regulated ETF channels.
Final Thoughts: ETF Flows Are Reshaping the Market
The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is more than just another fund—it’s becoming the cornerstone of institutional crypto allocation. With daily inflows back above $400 million and cumulative demand building across the board, ETFs are not just tracking Bitcoin’s growth—they’re powering it.
If this pace continues, we may look back on June 2025 as the tipping point that launched Bitcoin into a new institutional era.
