Amid the broad rally, Bitcoin ETFs have seen solid momentum since Donald Trump's election victory. About $10 billion has been poured into ETFs amid optimism for a cryptocurrency-friendly regulatory environment under President-elect Donald Trump. The solid inflows have lifted Bitcoin ETFs’ total assets to approximately $113 billion.
BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT - Free Report) was at the forefront, attracting nearly $5.6 billion of capital since Nov. 5. This was followed by inflows of $882 million for Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC - Free Report) , $39.7 million for ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB - Free Report) , $18.5 million for Coinshares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR - Free Report) and $12.7 million for Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC - Free Report) .
Trump has vowed to make the United States “the crypto capital of the planet.” In the latest move, Trump nominated Paul Atkins as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, fulfilling his most important campaign promise to the crypto industry. Atkins was seen as a crypto-friendly pick for the position (read: Bitcoin Tops $100K Mark: Will Its ETFs Drive the Next Boom?).
Other key developments, including Elon Musk heading the newly established Department of Government Efficiency and plans for a dedicated White House crypto policy role, fueled the remarkable rally. Trump also plans to build a national Bitcoin reserve, signaling a strong personal and policy interest in digital assets.
The world's largest cryptocurrency topped the historic $100,000 milestone for the first time last week.

What’s Ahead?

It added 15,400 bitcoins to its holdings, spending $1.5 billion between Nov. 25 and Dec. 1. This came on the heels of purchases of more than 27,000 Bitcoin between Oct. 31 and Nov. 10. MicroStrategy now owns around $30 billion in Bitcoin. This has bolstered enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency markets.
With the United States adopting pro-crypto policies, other countries are also shifting toward a more favorable stance. Notably, China has lifted restrictions on personal crypto ownership, marking a significant policy change. Meanwhile, Brazil and Russia are exploring the use of Bitcoin as part of their reserves, highlighting its expanding role in the global economy. Analysts, drawing from historical post-halving performance, project that Bitcoin could reach a peak of approximately $150,000 by 2025 (read: Bitcoin to Hit $2,00,000 in 2025? ETFs in Focus).
As such, the cryptocurrency market is witnessing a surge in optimism as governments and institutions worldwide increasingly embrace blockchain technology. This shift is paving the way for broader adoption and investment in digital assets, fueling expectations of sustained growth in the years ahead.
