Institutional Demand with $50 Billion in US ETF Inflows Pumps Bitcoin to $122,000

MUMBAI, July 14, 2025 – Bitcoin soared to a new all-time high of $122,000 (₹1.05 crore), marking a 2.7% gain in a single day, driven by robust institutional interest and over $50 billion in cumulative net inflows to US-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The Bitcoin rally, which has pushed its market capitalization to approximately $2.38 trillion, reflects growing mainstream acceptance of the cryptocurrency as a legitimate asset class, bolstered by favourable regulatory developments and strategic corporate investments.
According to ‘The Block’, US spot Bitcoin ETFs surpassed $50 billion in cumulative net inflows on July 9, 2025, with a daily net inflow of $218 million, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with $125.5 million. “Spot Bitcoin ETFs pushing past $50 billion in cumulative net inflows marks a defining moment in Bitcoin’s institutionalization,” said Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets.
The Block quoted Lucas , saying: “What we’re seeing is not a retail-driven frenzy, but a steady pipeline of capital from asset managers, corporate treasuries, and wealth platforms finally stepping into the market.”
Bitcoin’s surge coincided with the US Congress’ “Crypto Week,” where lawmakers are discussing key legislation, including the CLARITY Act and Anti-CBDC Act, aimed at providing regulatory clarity for digital assets. The rally is further supported by significant corporate adoption.
Fortune India highlighted that companies like MicroStrategy and Semler Scientific are treating Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset, with MicroStrategy holding over 331,000 BTC. “This institutional capital influx, evidenced by giants like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and hedge funds like Renaissance Technologies loading up on ETFs, signals a seismic shift,” the outlet quoted Sumit Gupta, Co-Founder at CoinDCX, saying.
A section of analysts is claiming that Bitcoin could reach $125,000 in the next month or two. Posts on X reflect strong bullish sentiment, with @glassnode reporting Bitcoin’s high of $122,800 on July 14, 2025, and noting sustained institutional demand through ETF inflows.
However, some analysts caution about short-term volatility due to global economic uncertainties. The furious run in Bitcoin prices has come after US President Donald Trump began openly canvassing for the crypto-currency. His former aide and billionaire Elon Musk has also been canvassing for crypto-currencies. They, incidentally, have crypto-currencies of their own. With Trump tariffs also bringing trade disruptions and currency volatility, institutions are seen hedging with bets on Bitcoins.
