Bitcoin ETFs just had a monster week as BTC shot back up above $95,000.

Crypto funds just completed their third-best week on record, per data from CoinShares, piling up $3.4 billion worth of inflows across all products. It was the best week so far in 2025 for crypto ETFs, led by Bitcoin with nearly $3.2 billion worth.

It wasn’t long ago that yearly flows were nearly back to zero, after an early-year surge led by President Trump’s return to the White House was followed by weeks of brutal outflows amid volatility spurred by his global trade war. But last week’s spike in demand has put the yearly tally much more firmly in the green.

“We’re now at $3.5 billion, recovering from close to zero at one point,” CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill told Decrypt. “It’s cautiously optimistic, I’d say.”
