After wrapping the year with a significant round of profit-taking and flows, crypto resources, primarily led by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, have added$ 585 million worth of assets in the first three weeks of 2025.
The powerful launch comes off the back of a record-setting time for crypto-based exchange-traded products, according to a new document from online commodity director CoinShares. All told,$ 44 billion worth of assets flowed into such funds —more than four times the previous record from 2021, wrote CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill.
Bitcoin funds now account for 29 % of the assets being tracked by the European company.
On Friday only, Bitcoin ETF manufacturers saw$ 908 million worth of shares sold, according to statistics from Farside Buyers.
” Bitcoin’s performance at the end of January will be a critical indicator”, wrote 10x Research CEO Markus Thielsen, in a note to investors. ” Following the aggressive December FOMC conference, Bitcoin ETF outflows have somewhat slowed, compounded by less positive global liquidity circumstances”.
The CME Group FedWatch Tool reveals that most investors have faith that the Fed did maintain prices at the current level with 23 weeks left. The CME device uses derivatives exchanging data to predict what will happen at upcoming Federal Open Markets Committee conferences.
Even if it does, Bitcoin might not have a significant economic indicator. For a while, each Fed meeting that ended with no change to the Fed’s important interest rate was disastrous for Bitcoin. But since the Fed suddenly lowered levels in September —the second time in four years—the effect on the price has been less marked.
However, BRN scientist Valentin Fournier thinks that any upward trend in price action that coincides with Donald Trump’s opening later this month could be followed by combination.
” Since Christmas, Bitcoin has been on a solid upward direction. With no bad reports on the horizon, this trend is likely to linger until Trump’s opening on January 20″, he wrote. A retracement may appear at that point unless business expectations are met. We advise keeping a balance between Bitcoin and Ethereum based on their respective business cap and maintaining a significant exposure to electronic goods.
