Bitcoin climbs as ETF inflows hit multi-day streak, sentiment rebounds

[라온]

US-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds are once again attracting steady inflows, signalling a shift in institutional behaviour as crypto markets regain momentum.

The latest data shows that capital has entered these funds for six straight sessions, marking the longest run of inflows since October last year.

This renewed interest comes alongside a sharp rise in Bitcoin prices and improving market sentiment.

The combination suggests that investors are re-entering the space after a period of caution, with ETF flows now closely mirroring movements in the underlying asset.

Inflows concentrate in major funds

Data from Farside Investors shows net inflows of $199.4 million into spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday.

The bulk of this capital was directed towards the largest issuers, highlighting a clear preference for established products.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led the inflows with $139.4 million, followed by the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, which added $64.5 million.

Smaller inflows were recorded by the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and the Franklin Bitcoin ETF, which brought in $2.8 million and $2.1 million.

Some funds, however, moved in the opposite direction.

The VanEck Bitcoin ETF saw outflows of $6.3 million, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF posted $3.1 million in withdrawals, showing that investor demand remains uneven across products.

Cumulative flows mirror price gains

The latest inflow streak has pushed total net inflows since March 9 to $962.8 million.

This period coincides with a notable rise in Bitcoin’s price, which increased by 12.5% from $65,960 to $74,250.

Bitcoin was trading around $73,945 at the time of reporting, maintaining most of its gains after briefly crossing the $74,400 mark for the first time in six weeks.

The alignment between ETF inflows and price movement indicates that institutional demand is reinforcing the upward trend.

Comparison with earlier surge

While the current inflow streak is the longest since October, it remains smaller in scale compared to the previous cycle between September and October 2025.

During that nine-day run, Bitcoin investment products recorded nearly $6 billion in inflows.

At that time, Bitcoin was trading at significantly higher levels and reached an all-time high of $126,080.

The current cycle, by contrast, reflects a more gradual return of capital rather than a peak phase in the market.

Sentiment improves despite uncertainty

The recent rise in both ETF inflows and Bitcoin prices comes amid continued geopolitical tensions involving the US and Iran, as well as volatility in global oil markets.

These factors have added uncertainty across financial markets.

Despite this, blockchain analytics platform Santiment noted that rumours of progress involving the US, Iran, and Israel have contributed to Bitcoin moving above $74,400. https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/2033578933526892731

The platform also observed that fear of missing out has climbed to its highest level since January 2, indicating a shift in trader behaviour.

Market sentiment indicators support this trend.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index rose by five points to 28 on Tuesday, moving out of the extreme fear zone for the first time since late January.

This suggests a gradual improvement in confidence as investors reassess the sector.
