In January 2025, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced significant growth, with net inflows totaling approximately $5.25 billion, up from $4.53 billion in December 2024.

This strong start suggests that Bitcoin ETFs could attract over $50 billion in inflows by the end of the year, surpassing the $35.2 billion recorded in 2024 according to Bitwise analyst Matt Hougan.

This surge in investment was aligned with the inauguration of President Donald Trump, whose administration has signaled support for the cryptocurrency industry. Notably, the appointment of crypto advocate Paul Atkins as the new chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had bolstered market confidence as well.

Analysts predict that favorable regulatory developments and increased institutional adoption could drive Bitcoin's price to between $120,000 and $250,000 in 2025.

These developments continue to reflect a growing institutional confidence within digital assets, supported by a regulatory environment that heavily favors the crypto industry under the current administration.
