Crypto ETF Inflows Hit $224M Amid Market Moves

Crypto ETF inflows surged last week as investor appetite for digital assets rebounded sharply, led by Ethereum products and strategic Bitcoin purchases by major institutional players. According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products recorded a net total of $224 million in inflows, signaling renewed confidence in the crypto market despite volatility tied to macro-political tensions.

Ethereum ETFs Lead the Charge

Ethereum-based exchange-traded products dominated the flow charts, drawing $296.4 million in inflows, marking the seventh consecutive week of positive movement. That brings Ethereum ETF inflows to $1.5 billion over the last two months — accounting for 10.5% of total assets under management in ETH-linked funds, according to CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill.

These steady gains underscore growing institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition, especially as its transition to proof-of-stake and scalability upgrades continue to mature.

Bitcoin ETFs See Outflows, But IBIT Breaks Records

In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $56.5 million in outflows for the week — the second consecutive week of investor pullback. However, there were signs of a mid-week reversal, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs noting brief inflows on Tuesday and Wednesday before returning to outflows on Thursday.

That volatility coincided with a political clash between Donald Trump and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk over Trump’s proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Musk slammed the bill for its projected $3 trillion increase to the U.S. deficit, warning that Trump’s protectionist tariffs could spark a U.S. recession. In response, Trump retaliated by threatening to cut off government subsidies to Musk’s ventures.

Despite the drama, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) hit a major milestone — surpassing $70 billion in assets under management. This makes IBIT the fastest ETF to ever reach that figure, beating the previous record set by SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD), which took 1,691 trading days. IBIT accomplished the feat in just 341 days, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.

Strategy Deepens Bitcoin Exposure

Meanwhile, Strategy, a leading business intelligence firm, announced it acquired 1,045 BTC for $110.2 million, paying an average of $105,426 per BTC. The firm now holds 582,000 BTC, purchased at a blended cost of $70,086 per coin.

This latest purchase follows the company’s $1 billion upsized Series A Perpetual Stride Preferred Stock (STRD) offering, reinforcing its reputation as the most aggressive corporate holder of Bitcoin. Strategy’s ongoing BTC accumulation continues to inspire smaller firms to add crypto exposure to their balance sheets.

For example, The Blockchain Group recently partnered with French asset manager TOBAM to launch a €300 million ATM-style capital program aimed at building its Bitcoin treasury reserves.

Bitcoin Climbs on Global Tariff Talks

Bitcoin (BTC) responded positively to news of productive trade talks between U.S. and Chinese officials in London, gaining 2% on Monday and trading above $108,000. Market watchers say any progress on tariff reductions or avoidance of economic retaliation could improve investor sentiment and reduce market headwinds.

Crypto ETF Inflows Signal Strategic Shifts

The recent crypto ETF inflows — especially those led by Ethereum — point to a possible rebalancing of institutional strategies. While Bitcoin remains the dominant crypto asset, Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem and real-world applications are drawing renewed interest from fund managers.

In parallel, record-breaking ETF milestones like IBIT’s ascent to $70 billion highlight how mainstream crypto investment vehicles are becoming deeply embedded in the broader capital markets landscape.

As the crypto industry navigates ongoing political uncertainty, shifting regulatory winds, and a maturing investment environment, these developments suggest that crypto ETF inflows will be a key metric to watch in assessing institutional sentiment and long-term adoption.

As institutional interest intensifies and political developments continue to sway investor sentiment, the pace and direction of crypto ETF inflows could shape the next major wave of digital asset adoption.

Circle IPO Sends CRCL Stock Soaring 288%

The Circle IPO has officially rocked Wall Street. Since debuting on the New York Stock Exchange, shares of Circle Internet Financial (NYSE:CRCL) have climbed a jaw-dropping 288%. The stablecoin issuer priced its IPO at $31, but by Friday afternoon, CRCL shares had surged past $120, capping off a 45% single-day gain and catapulting the company’s market cap above $23 billion.

This sudden and aggressive rally is the biggest post-IPO performance of any major crypto company in 2025—and has traders, analysts, and social media abuzz with opinions on what this means for the broader digital asset sector.

Ark Invest Buys In as CRCL Trading Volume Surges

Adding to the excitement surrounding the Circle IPO, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest scooped up 4.48 million CRCL shares across three of its ETFs. With over $41.8 million in trading volume recorded before 1:30 p.m. on Friday alone, the public market response suggests overwhelming demand.

As CRCL stock roared higher, it drew comparisons to Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) during its frenzied 2021 debut—though some analysts warn that such parabolic climbs often invite pullbacks as early investors take profits or lockup periods expire.

Social Media Reacts to CRCL’s Rise

Crypto Twitter (now known as X) has been saturated with commentary about the Circle IPO. One user claiming IPO pricing experience at Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) issued a word of caution: “Wait 90–180 days after IPO to invest,” they wrote. “Not just to allow for price discovery, but because that’s typically when the lockup period ends.”

Others, however, see the rapid appreciation of CRCL as more than just hype. The performance reflects rising institutional appetite for crypto-native companies with real-world revenue and compliance credentials—something Circle has spent years building as the issuer behind the widely used USDC stablecoin.

Will Circle Trigger a Crypto IPO Wave?

Some crypto insiders are now forecasting a wave of IPOs from other digital asset companies. “After the Circle IPO performance, there’s a large probability every equity business with more than $50 million in revenue and a defensible moat will go public,” tweeted user Solana Legend, a well-followed account in the blockchain space.

Potential candidates for follow-on IPOs include MoonPay, Gemini, Kraken, and Phantom—all of which are privately held firms with significant market share in crypto infrastructure, wallets, or trading platforms. If these firms follow Circle’s lead, 2025 could mark a record-setting year for crypto-related public listings.

A Turning Point for Digital Assets

The timing of the Circle IPO couldn’t be better. After a long crypto winter and the regulatory fallout from the FTX collapse, sentiment is shifting. With Bitcoin (BTC-USD) trading above $100,000 and Coinbase recently added to the S&P 500, crypto is increasingly seen as a maturing asset class.

Circle’s decision to go public—and the explosive performance of its stock—may cement this shift, bringing credibility and transparency to a space often criticized for lacking both.

What’s Next for CRCL Investors?

Despite the euphoria, some caution is warranted. The 288% surge in CRCL stock could invite volatility as valuation questions and regulatory scrutiny emerge. Still, the fundamentals behind Circle IPO are strong: the company is a regulated, revenue-generating entity playing a key role in global crypto payments through USDC.

If Circle can maintain its momentum while scaling securely, it may not only validate the bullish case for CRCL but also open the floodgates for other compliant, growth-ready crypto firms to enter Wall Street’s spotlight.
