After a record week of net inflows, the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are on track for an even better week. While last week saw US$3.23 billion (AU$4.89 billion) added to the ETFs, we reported that Monday brought another US$220.1 million (AU$332.2 million).
However, those numbers were incomplete, as BlackRock’s US$970 million (AU$1.47 billion) inflows hadn’t yet been reported — bringing Monday’s total net inflows to US$1.2 billion (AU$1.8 billion).
Tuesday was a similarly strong day for IBIT, with US$899.4 million (AU$1.36 billion) added, while most other ETFs remained flat, bringing the day’s tally to US$875.6 million (AU$1.32 billion) in net inflows — as Grayscale’s GBTC saw US$28.6 million (AU$43.3 million) in outflows.
Wednesday’s numbers are not fully available at the time of writing, but the trend suggests buying is still strong, with Bitcoin hovering near record highs. Currently, BTC trades at US$121,841 (AU$184,582), just 3.6% below its all-time high of US$126,198 (AU$191,206) from 7 October 2025.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan forecasts that US ETFs will smash records in Q4 2025, with inflows expected to exceed US$36 billion (AU$54.4 billion) amid a continued Bitcoin rally and surging institutional demand.
From where I sit, the stars are aligned for a very strong Q4 for flows — more than enough to push us to a new record (and a new all-time high in bitcoin’s price).
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan Backed by approvals from major wealth managers and renewed faith in Bitcoin as a hedge against currency debasement, the asset is set to lead global investment flows into 2026, the analyst believes.
The Bitcoin ETFs have also performed well compared to gold ETFs, as Bitwise’s chart shows. In their first year of trading, BTC ETFs easily outperformed their gold counterparts — and in year two, despite it only being October, they’re already taking the lead again.
