COINOTAG News reported on April 16th that Matrixport’s latest market analysis highlights a surprising trend in Bitcoin ETF inflows. Despite a robust start to the year, where inflows peaked at an impressive $5.5 billion, projections suggest that by 2025, net inflows may only slightly exceed zero. This development is particularly intriguing given Bitcoin’s substantial outperformance compared to U.S. tech stocks and the recent surge of gold prices to record highs.
The broader picture reveals that total net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have reached $35.5 billion, with notable contributions from key players such as BlackRock at $39.6 billion and Fidelity at $11.4 billion. These two firms collectively dominate the market, indicating that new buying activity is predominantly influenced by select institutional clients rather than a more diverse retail investor base. If retail demand were the driving force, one would expect a more balanced distribution of inflows across various ETF issuers.
