On Tuesday alone, practically $913 million poured into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, making it the largest every day influx since again in mid-January. This rally got here proper as Bitcoin began flirting with new highs, and, apparently sufficient, as President Trump hinted at cooling down the tariff tiff with China. Coincidence? In all probability not.
“The spot Bitcoin ETFs went Pac-Man mode yesterday,” mentioned Bloomberg ETF whisperer Eric Balchunas on X (and sure, that’s an actual quote).

A Fast Flashback…
Final time Bitcoin ETFs noticed a day like this? January 17. That was simply earlier than Donald Trump’s second inauguration—and yep, they took in over $1 billion that day. Wild.
ETFs like IBIT let common people seize a slice of Bitcoin proper from their brokerage apps, no wallets or keys wanted. That simplicity has helped them rake in over $36 billion in whole property since launching simply 15 months in the past.
IBIT even smashed information, hitting $10 billion in property sooner than any different ETF within the 32-year historical past of the sector.
However not the whole lot’s been easy crusing. Bitcoin ETFs began bleeding property shortly after Trump took workplace, as markets bought nervous about inflation and slower development. BTC even dipped beneath $75K earlier this month, monitoring extra like a tech inventory than a hedge.
Nonetheless, issues flipped quick. Bear in mind: Bitcoin practically touched $109K on Inauguration Day. And Trump’s White Home has been delivering on pro-crypto guarantees—loosening regs, encouraging innovation, and all that jazz.
What’s Subsequent?
Oh, and get this—new SEC Chair Paul Atkins is strolling right into a tsunami of crypto ETF filings. Greater than 70 purposes are stacked up, from Solana to XRP to—you identify it. It’s gonna be a packed 12 months, people.
As for the place Bitcoin heads subsequent? That relies upon. With ETFs heating up once more and Trump possibly backing off on commerce battle theatrics, traders appear to be leaning risk-on. Whether or not BTC can hold its rally going… effectively, that’s an entire different story.
However for now? Feels just like the bulls are again on the town.
