Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows have surged again, adding pressure to the asset’s upward price movement. As of late July 2025, cumulative inflows reached 600,000 BTC, marking a significant increase in institutional activity. This jump coincides with Bitcoin’s price rising to $119,000, continuing a pattern that has remained consistent throughout the year.
According to an observation by Ecoinometrics, the year began with BTC priced at $46,000 while ETF flows remained near zero. By March, inflows crossed 200,000 BTC, matching Bitcoin’s climb to $70,000. During the spring months, flows leveled off while prices hovered between $60,000 and $70,000.
In October, ETF flows resumed upward momentum as BTC moved past $60,000 again. By December, cumulative inflows surpassed 400,000 BTC, and Bitcoin reached $100,000. In April, inflows slowed briefly, with Bitcoin falling to $85,000.
