On Monday, U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered a daily net inflow of $274.6 million, marking their largest single-day increase since February 4.
This surge comes after five consecutive weeks of outflows, during which $5.4 billion exited these investment products, according to SoSoValue data.
After weeks of selling pressure, institutional investors appear to be regaining confidence in bitcoin ETFs, according to Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets.
“This shift indicates renewed institutional interest, supported by bitcoinโs price stability and a growing demand for lower-fee ETFs,” Lucas noted.
She pointed to factors such as quarter-end portfolio rebalancing and cost-efficient investment options as key drivers behind Mondayโs strong inflows.
Fidelity, Ark, and BlackRock Lead ETF Inflows
Five bitcoin ETFs reported positive net inflows, with no outflows recorded across any funds.
- Fidelityโs FBTC led the inflows with $127.3 million.
- Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB saw $88.5 million added.
- BlackRockโs IBIT, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by net assets, reported $42.3 million in new investments.
- Grayscaleโs Mini Bitcoin Trust and Bitwiseโs BITB also recorded net inflows.
On Monday alone, total ETF trading volume reached $1.87 billion, while cumulative net inflows since bitcoin ETFs debuted have now surpassed $35.58 billion.
Bitcoin Price Stabilizes Amid ETF Activity
Bitcoinโs price has found support around $83,000, following high volatility earlier this month, where it swung between $78,500 and $94,000.
Lucas believes market turbulence is far from over, stating:
“With the quarter-end approaching, investors are closely tracking portfolio positioning. Institutional rebalancing could drive further inflows, but any sign of weakness in bitcoinโs price may lead to renewed selling pressure.”
As institutional demand ramps up, all eyes are on whether bitcoin ETFs will sustain their recovery or face another wave of profit-taking in the coming weeks.
