According to Santiment’s data, since June 6, there has only been one day where more money left than entered these products. The market intelligence platform highlighted this ongoing trend as a positive indicator for Bitcoin’s future and the broader crypto market.

As of July 7, data from Farside Investors indicated that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net flow of $216.5 million across all issuers. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the inflows with $164.6 million, followed by Fidelity’s (FBTC) with $66 million. Meanwhile, ARK Invest’s (ARKB) and Grayscale’s GBTC experienced outflows of $10.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Other ETFs, including Bitwise’s BITB, VanEck’s HODL, Valkyrie’s BRRR, and WisdomTree’s BTCW, recorded no activity for the day.

This followed a significant net outflow of about $342 million on July 1, the first negative movement since June 6. Prior to this, a 15-day streak had brought in nearly $4.7 billion, pushing cumulative net inflows to approximately $49 billion and total ETF assets under management (AUM) to over $131 billion.

Up till now, spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed over $14.4 billion this year, including $4.5 billion just in July. This surge is driving an increasingly bullish outlook for Bitcoin’s price in July 2025, with analysts forecasting new highs based on the record ETF inflows.

Markus Thielen, 10x Research’s head of research, has predicted Bitcoin’s price to reach $116,000. He attributed this projection mainly to the strong capital influx into spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Bitwise’s CIO Matt Hougan and head of research Ryan Rasmussen reaffirmed their $200,000 price target for Bitcoin in 2025. They pointed to historical patterns, noting that the leading cryptocurrency hit a new all-time high of $112,000 in May, backed by record ETF inflows. They also cited the rising interest from Bitcoin treasury companies and the creation of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve as bullish factors.

Recent actions by President Trump indicate diminishing patience with Iran, with hints of potential U.S. involvement in Israel’s military actions. Trump’s Truth Social post stated that while the U.S. is aware of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s whereabouts, there are no current plans to remove him. The post also suggested a command of the Iranian airspace, though there’s no evidence that U.S. aircraft are involved.

There were slight increases in front-month WTI and Brent crude oil futures, which traded at $75.20 and $76.80 per barrel, respectively. Research analysts at CIMB Securities note that although oil price surges due to conflicts in the Middle East are typically short-term reactions, any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz shipping could have significant implications.

In uncertain times, gold is a popular safe-haven investment. However, as fears of a widening conflict increase, safe-haven flows have eased, resulting in a 0.2% decrease in spot gold prices. Bitcoin, which is often seen as a risk indicator, saw a slight increase of 0.2%.

Asian stock indexes are experiencing mixed trading patterns, affected by central bank decisions and country-specific factors. U.S. futures appear cautiously positive ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision. Investors are keenly awaiting guidance from the central bank regarding the U.S. economy and future interest rate paths given signs of economic slowdown.

Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova, highlighted that markets are expecting a larger escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict, with the U.S. expected to provide more than just technological and weapon support to Israel.

In a late-night trading session on May 21, Bitcoin (BTCUSD) reached an unprecedented peak of $110,788.98 on Coinbase just before 11:30 pm UTC, according to data from TradingView.

Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin’s value has increased by around 3%, surpassing its previous all-time high of $109,458. This marks the first instance of Bitcoin trading above its long-standing peak from January 20.

Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, has seen a 17.5% increase this year alone and a 47% increase since its dip to $75,000 on April 7. This decrease was spurred by global market instability following the broad tariffs implemented by former US President Donald Trump.

The new peak was achieved amidst a turbulent US stock market environment, marked by a weak 20-year bond auction that led to a significant increase in treasury yields on May 21. Notably, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones all recorded downturns on the day.

Caroline Bowler, CEO of Australian crypto exchange BTC Markets, shared with Cointelegraph that Bitcoin’s new high is indicative of a “mature interest in digital assets worldwide,” differing from the speculative surges observed in previous cycles.

She further emphasized that the current demand is driven by “institutional-grade infrastructure and stronger regulatory clarity,” leading to a decisive shift in investor sentiment towards institutional-style allocations.

Interestingly, despite the record-breaking rally, Google Trends indicates a declining interest in Bitcoin among retail investors, with search volumes at lows typical of crypto bear markets.

Furthermore, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a tool that gauges market sentiment, recorded a score of 72 out of 100 on May 22, implying “greed.” This figure is substantially lower than its 2025 high of 84 recorded on January 22, two days post-Trump’s inauguration.

Edward Carroll, head of global markets and corporate finance at MHC Digital Group, anticipates that the growing demand could potentially drive Bitcoin’s price to a minimum of $160,000 by Q4 of this year and possibly $1 million by 2030.

In related news, leverage trader James Wynn’s Bitcoin long position on the crypto platform Hyperliquidity has become the largest onchain margin trade, exceeding $1.1 billion amidst Bitcoin’s price peak. The 40x leveraged position, entered at $108,065, has an unrealized profit of $20 million and will be liquidated if Bitcoin’s price drops to $103,800.

With the swift adoption of tokenized funds, Zero Hash has positioned itself as a crucial component of the on-chain markets ecosystem. Its robust infrastructure supports the payment channels for tokenized funds, which includes partnerships with BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) through Securitize, Franklin Templeton’s BENJI Token, and the Hamilton Lane Private Infrastructure Fund (HLPIF) with Republic. Zero Hash offers seamless, compliant, around-the-clock funding across seven stablecoins, supported by 22 blockchains.

Tokenization holds the potential to revolutionize financial markets by facilitating immediate, incessant settlement. However, traditional payment systems do not have the capability to support this level of availability, thereby posing a significant hurdle. Stablecoins tap into the potential of tokenized assets, including stable instruments, allowing them the flexibility provided by blockchain. Zero Hash’s payment channels are a vital resource for institutions aiming to leverage blockchain technology and facilitate entirely on-chain transactions, right from asset creation to redemption, without the need to handle the intricacies of managing stablecoins.

In his annual Letter to Investors, Larry Fink, BlackRock Chairman and CEO wrote, “Tokenization can revolutionize investing. If every asset is tokenized, markets wouldn’t need to close, transactions that currently take days would clear in seconds. Billions currently held up by settlement delays could be reinvested immediately back into the economy, generating more growth.” This vision is already being realized, with Zero Hash powering the payment channels that support tokenized assets.

Zero Hash’s infrastructure has gained the trust of worldwide businesses that require enterprise-grade stablecoin payment channels. This is because Zero Hash addresses two significant obstacles to institutional adoption: regulatory compliance concerning source-of-funds transparency and technical complexity. Zero Hash simplifies multi-chain, multi-stable operations, enabling issuers to operate with the ease of account-to-account transfers, while their infrastructure manages the complexities in the background.

In less than four months, Zero Hash has facilitated over $2 billion in tokenized funding through partners like Securitize, Franklin Templeton, and Republic. The tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market showed a year-over-year growth of ~85% to reach $15.2 billion by the end of 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, another $5.44 billion was added, taking the total RWA value on-chain to $20.64 billion as of April 11th (Source: rwa.xyz). Zero Hash’s on-ramped approximately 35% of all on-chain RWAs in Q1, establishing its pivotal role in the evolving capital markets stack.

About Zero Hash: Zero Hash is the leading infrastructure provider for crypto, stablecoin, and tokenized asset settlement. Its platform enables regulated money movement across fiat, crypto, and stable instruments. Zero Hash is backed by investors, including Point72 Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and NYCA.

As we head into a busy week for economic indicators, optimism is high among traders, with U.S. futures and European stocks showing an upward trend. This is largely due to hopes that the impending tariffs set for April 2 will not be as severe as initially speculated. However, Asian markets exhibited a mixed response.

This week will see the release of important economic data including flash purchasing managers’ indexes on Monday, the U.S. consumer confidence index for March on Tuesday, durable-goods data for February on Wednesday, and unemployment claims on Thursday.

Friday’s February PCE inflation reading, which is the Federal Reserve’s favored metric, is expected to be a focal point amidst any tariff-related news. U.S. futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average showed an early rise in Europe by 0.9% and 0.7% respectively. The Stoxx Europe 600 and the FTSE 100 also saw gains, while the Nikkei and mainland China shares exhibited a slight decline. On the other hand, the Hang Seng Index from Hong Kong and India’s Sensex demonstrated promising growth.

The dollar showed a slight dip after a recent minor recovery, while Bitcoin experienced a rise of 2.6%, hitting $87,416. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yields saw a minor surge in line with the eurozone bond yields, and sterling began the week with a 0.4% rise against the dollar. However, sterling could be vulnerable to Wednesday’s U.K. spring statement as Treasury chief Rachel Reeves faces budgeting constraints to stimulate growth.

Oil prices showed a minor decline as market participants assess the potential impact of a ceasefire in Ukraine against fresh U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil. Brent crude and WTI both saw a 0.2% decline, pricing at $71.98 and $68.13 per barrel, respectively.

Bitcoin ETFs have faced considerable selling pressure in recent weeks. The funds witnessed five successive weeks of net outflows, during which a hefty sum of approximately $5.4 billion moved out, as per data from SoSoValue.

“The current shift implies an increasing confidence, spurred on by the stabilization of bitcoin’s price and the resurgence of institutional interest,” remarked Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets.

Lucas highlighted factors such as institutional portfolio rebalancing at the end of the quarter and a growing demand for lower-fee ETFs as contributors to the positive inflows seen on Monday.

Five bitcoin ETFs reported net inflows on Monday, with none registering outflows. Fidelity’s FBTC led the inflows with $127.3 million. Additionally, Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB experienced an inflow of $88.5 million.

BlackRock’s IBIT, recognized as the most substantial spot bitcoin ETF by net assets, reported inflows of $42.3 million on Monday. Grayscale’s Mini Bitcoin Trust and Bitwise’s BITB also recorded net inflows.

Overall, Monday witnessed approximately $1.87 billion in total daily volume. The cumulative total net inflow since their listing reached $35.58 billion.

Bitcoin appears to have found stability at about $83,000 after significant volatility earlier in the month, with prices varying between $78,500 and $94,000.

“Investors should anticipate continued volatility,” Lucas cautioned. “With the end of the quarter nearing, investors are scrutinizing positioning shifts. Institutional rebalancing may stimulate additional inflows, but any price weakness might provoke another round of outflows.”

Bitcoin rebounds after dipping to $90,742, as whales seize the opportunity to acquire 16,000 BTC worth $1.5 billion. On-chain analysis reveals that institutional players have significantly influenced the recent recovery, with Bitcoin climbing 6.25% to trade above $96,000 on Nov. 29.

Whales drive BTC recovery
According to CryptoQuant analyst Caueconomy, Bitcoin whales made strategic purchases amid this week’s correction, accumulating over 16,000 BTC as the price hit local lows. This accumulation follows a notable sell-off by short-term holders, who sent nearly $4 billion in Bitcoin to exchanges, often at a loss.

Despite this bullish whale activity, the rally requires broader market participation. “Retail and day traders must contribute to spot buying volume to push Bitcoin beyond $100,000,” the analyst commented. For now, accumulation is concentrated among institutional buyers.

Can whales push BTC past $100K?
Historical patterns suggest they might. In October, whales reached a record 670,000 BTC holdings, driving Bitcoin’s rise from $60,000 to near its all-time high. Current data indicates robust support in the $92,777–$95,634 range, where over 490,570 wallets hold approximately 441,250 BTC.

Technically, Bitcoin is attempting a breakout after forming a V-shaped recovery at $90,742. To test the critical $100,000 resistance, BTC must first close above the $96,400 overhead level, analysts say. If this happens, Bitcoin could approach a new all-time high.

While the outlook appears promising, broader buying momentum across retail and institutions is essential to sustain the rally.

The release detailed that the FOMC is still wary about inflation rates, which remain high despite signs of cooling down. This has affected the market’s sentiment, reducing the likelihood of an interest rate cut in the near term and contributing to the crypto market’s bearish trend.

Critics have raised concerns about the transparency of this process, suggesting that avoiding a direct vote could shield the commissioners from political repercussions. The approval of these Ether ETFs, managed by prominent firms like BlackRock and Fidelity, marks a pivotal moment, indicating possible SEC endorsement of ETH as a non-security, despite ongoing debates surrounding its status.

Following the announcement, the market reaction was muted, with Ether’s price experiencing a minor dip before making a modest recovery, suggesting that the news had been largely anticipated by the market.

Ethereum’s Price Reaction to BlackRock’s Filing The cryptocurrency market responded positively to BlackRock’s announcement, with Ethereum’s value skyrocketing by 10%. This surge is a testament to the growing interest and confidence in Ethereum and the broader crypto market. The proposed iShares Ethereum Trust aims to offer investors a way to gain exposure to Ethereum’s price movements without the need to directly own the cryptocurrency.

BlackRock’s Continued Crypto Endeavors BlackRock’s foray into the crypto ETF space isn’t new. Earlier this year, the firm registered a Bitcoin trust, followed by an application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a spot Bitcoin ETF. The latest Ethereum ETF filing is another step in BlackRock’s expanding crypto strategy, highlighting the firm’s commitment to integrating digital assets into traditional financial systems.

Other Players in the Spot Ethereum ETF Race BlackRock isn’t alone in its pursuit of a spot Ethereum ETF. Other notable firms like ARK Invest, 21Shares, VanEck, and Grayscale Investments have also thrown their hats into the ring. Grayscale, in particular, has been vocal about its intention to convert its existing Ethereum Trust into a spot Ethereum ETF, further emphasizing the growing institutional interest in Ethereum.

The Anticipation for Bitcoin Spot ETF Approval The crypto market is abuzz with anticipation for the SEC’s approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. This decision is eagerly awaited as it could set a precedent for future crypto ETFs, including Ethereum. The SEC’s approval would be a significant milestone, potentially unlocking billions of dollars of investment into the crypto space.
