While financial markets are eye voltage and macroeconomic uncertainty, bitcoin ETFs pass through a historical cap with $ 40 billion in cumulative items. This symbolic threshold is much more than a simple record. It devotes bitcoins integration into regulated portfolios and reveals a deep change in the crypto investment. Bitcoin is now a sustainable part of institutional financial architecture.
In short
- Bitcoin ETF in cash has exceeded the historical threshold with $ 40.33 billion in cumulative inputs since their introduction to the United States in 2024.
- Investment streams have seen regular growth, from $ 12 billion in March 2024 to more than $ 40 billion in May 2025.
- This success is based primarily on the simplicity of the ETF’s approach and control framework that attracts individuals and professionals.
- The rise of the ETF contributes to the adjustment of the perception of bitcoins, which is increasingly considered to be a traditional asset.
$ 40 billion: Caps exceeded by Bitcoin ETF in cash
On May 8, 2025, Bitcoin exceeded ETF in cash in the United States with a symbolic course with more than 40.33 billion cumulative items, according to data compiled by James Seyffart, analyst in Bloomberg.
Declared on the social network X (formerly Twitter) this year 9.
After yesterday’s capital contributions, Bitcoin Spot ETF now reaches a new historical record. It is currently $ 40.33 billion.
This performance is all the more remarkable because it has been achieved as a result of a particularly strong input day and overcome previous daily records. In addition, this shows the persistent power of demand for these financial products, despite the still unstable market situation.
To better measure the range of this dynamics, it is necessary to observe the development of streams from the start of the ETF at the beginning of 2024:
- March 2024: 12 billion cumulative dollars;
- August 2024: 18 billion dollars;
- March 2025: Almost $ 35 billion;
- May 2025: Crossing Prague $ 40.33 billion.
This continuous progression underlines the growing anchoring of the ETF in investment strategies associated with bitcoins. Their regulated format and their easy access make it a privileged gate for the growing number of investors, individual and professional. Unlike direct retention of Kryptos, the ETF enables the price of bitcoins without having to manage care, security or technical restrictions associated with blockchain.
Institutional maneuvering: a revised strategy of allocation
One of the main elements of this increase in the power of Bitcoin ETF is not only in their acceptance by the general public, but in the growing interest of institutional actors. Asset managers and hedge funds now use these ETFs to invest in bitcoins and leave direct exposure methods or traditional exchange platforms.
This approach is motivated by searching for operating efficiency, regulatory safety and flexibility in portfolio management. This adds a layer of safety and coverage for large portfolios, some analysts say. They underline the strategic role of these financial vehicles in diversification.
This shift to detainment through the ETF does not mean marginalizing other bitcoin detention channels. The ETF represents only part of the equation, the rest is still largely made up of direct detains (mining, trading on centralized stock exchanges or P2P).
However, this new form of mediation introduces increased regulation monitoring and modifies the perception of bitcoins in depth. “Some predict that this change could reveal bitcoin as a normal asset,” writes journalist Christian Encila, pointing to the symbolic and structural consequences of this mutation.
