Bitcoin ETFs could add to demand
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds could add to this supply-and-demand dynamic if the this year. “Bitcoin’s price will go parabolic if ETF demand persists long-term,” Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan on Tuesday.
“Since ETFs debuted in Jan 2024, they’ve been buying more than 100% of the new supply of bitcoin. But the price hasn’t gone parabolic, because existing holders have been willing to sell. If ETF demand persists — and I think it will — eventually, these sellers will run out of ammo.”
Spot BTC ETFs in the US saw net inflows of almost $22 billion in 2025, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) taking the lion’s share.
However, they have had a mixed start to 2026 with current data showing $1.9 billion inflows and $1.38 billion outflows, resulting in a net aggregate inflow of just over $500 million.
