Total dollar value of net assets across the 11 spot ETFs stood at $77.58 billion on June 9. That's the same level seen just after President Donald Trump won the presidential election in early November 2024.
This is not to say the ETFs didn't grow in the 19-month period. Hopes that Trump would deliver on his campaign promise of friendlier crypto regulation helped push bitcoin higher, along with ETF assets. Total net assets crossed $90 billion within a week of this election win and went on to hit a record high of $169.54 billion in October 2025.
