U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs experienced a surge in demand on Monday, recording $274.6 million in net inflows—their highest since early February.
This marks a sharp reversal from recent weeks, during which these funds faced sustained selling pressure, shedding approximately $5.4 billion over five consecutive weeks, according to Farside Investors.
Analysts attribute the rebound to institutional portfolio adjustments at the end of the quarter and increased interest in lower-cost ETFs. Crypto analyst Rachael Lucas noted that Bitcoin’s price stability and renewed institutional confidence likely played a role in driving inflows.
Five Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows on Monday, with Fidelity’s FBTC leading the pack at $127.3 million, followed by Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB, which attracted $88.5 million. BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest Bitcoin ETF by assets, gained $42.3 million, while Bitwise’s BITB and Grayscale’s Mini Bitcoin Trust also reported inflows.
Trading volume across Bitcoin ETFs reached $1.87 billion for the day, with total cumulative inflows standing at $35.58 billion since their launch. Meanwhile, BTC’s price has steadied around $83,000 after a volatile stretch that saw swings between $78,500 and $94,000.
Lucas cautioned that market turbulence may persist as quarter-end approaches. Institutional rebalancing could sustain inflows, but any renewed price dips might trigger another round of outflows.
After more than four weeks of uninterrupted investor enthusiasm, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has reported its steepest daily outflow since its inception, signaling a potential shift in sentiment.
