Bitcoin and Ether ETFs See Record Inflows Post-Election

Bitcoin has surged to become the world's seventh-largest asset by market cap, surpassing Saudi Aramco, driven by significant inflows into U.S. spot-listed ETFs and a favorable regulatory environment following Donald Trump's election. Bitcoin ETFs have attracted $4.7 billion in net inflows over six days, with BlackRock's iShare Bitcoin Trust achieving record trading volumes. Similarly, Ether ETFs are seeing positive cumulative flows for the first time, with substantial inflows since Trump's victory. U.S.-listed ETFs are poised to break annual inflow records, nearing the $1 trillion milestone, with strong investor sentiment post-election contributing to the surge. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF has gathered substantial assets, likely to surpass $100 billion in inflows by year-end, highlighting the growing preference for ETFs among various investor classes.
