- IBIT is now among the 20 most-traded ETFs of 2025, demonstrating the growing interest in Bitcoin exposure within traditional finance.
- Bitcoin ETFs experienced net inflows of $165 million, with the leading cryptocurrency staying around $110,000.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has secured its spot among the top 20 most-traded ETFs of 2025, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The explosive growth in the daily volume of the fund indicates the soaring institutional demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure.
Having been launched at the beginning of 2024, as the U.S. regulators allowed spot Bitcoin ETFs, IBIT has already surpassed most long-established funds in terms of trading activity. Analyst Eric Balchunas called the ETF the baby of the group, saying that even though it is old, it has exceeded expectations in terms of liquidity and relevance in the market.
Here's the Top 20 most traded ETFs by year, interesting to see how this has evolved over the years. Notable $VOO at #5, could make a run at $SPY soon (to be biggest and most liq). Also, $IBIT and $TSLL are both babies, wild for them to make list. pic.twitter.com/enKGCFjpOP

IBIT is listed alongside the old guard of ETF giants such as SPY and QQQ and is providing tighter spreads and increased access to both institutional and retail clients. Its inclusion into the top 20 cements the role of Bitcoin in traditional portfolios, especially for those who do not want to be directly exposed to the crypto market.
Investor Interest Remains Strong Despite BTC Slowdown
On June 11, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $165 million in net inflows. Although it represents a decrease compared to the $435 million gained on Tuesday, the amount signifies the third consecutive day of positive flows. IBIT had the most inflows of $131.01 million, which brought its running net sum to $49.24 billion. VanEck HODL ETF was next with $15.39 million.
The inflow momentum comes as Bitcoin encountered a resistance level of $110,000. It traded at $109,319, and the 24-hour trade ranged between $108,633 and $110,237. It had a market cap of $2.17 trillion and a trading volume of $32.03 billion.
Institutional demand remains strong, and this is a positive indication in spite of temporary price weakness in Bitcoin. The steady inflows into IBIT also underline its status as a favorite means of gaining BTC exposure on traditional platforms.
Derivatives Market Supports Bullish Sentiment
Although spot prices are already indicating a slowdown, derivatives are showing even more optimism. Bitcoin futures funding rate is positive, 0.0062 percent, indicating that longs are dominating. This shows that traders remain bullish within the consolidation.
Options markets are strong as well. BTC call options are in high demand, and open interest favors contracts placed on the upside. These signs show that the traders are anticipating a breakout of the current resistance levels.
The $3 billion decline in whale activity on Binance adds nuance to the narrative. The sellers of profits could well be large investors, but the retail and institutional inflows through ETFs represent a shift in the place of new money entering the market. IBIT plays a critical role in making Bitcoin accessible to cautious investors.
The ETF format will provide access to retirement plans and brokerage accounts, which will further extend the coverage of BTC without the need for custodial assets. Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones recently backed this transition, calling Bitcoin a good inflation hedge.
