On Monday, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their largest single-day net inflows in roughly six weeks.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $471.3 million in inflows on Monday across six funds, according to data from SoSoValue. This inflow represents the largest daily total since Feb. 25, when ETFs recorded $506 million in net inflows. Notably, Monday’s surge has more than reversed the $173.7 million in withdrawals seen on April 1, signaling renewed institutional confidence.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the surge with $181.9 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC, which attracted $147.3 million. ARKB, managed by ARK Invest and 21Shares, also recorded strong net inflows of $118.7 million, with additional gains across funds from Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck.
Spot Ethereum ETFs also posted net inflows of $120.2 million on Monday, marking their strongest single-day total since mid-March.
Inflows Come Even as Investor Sentiment Remains Wary
The spot ETFs managed to clock inflows despite ongoing investor caution, as negative sentiment dominated recent months. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has remained mostly below 20, signaling “Extreme Fear” across the market amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East conflict.
 
The conflict between the United States and Iran, now in its second month, continues to escalate with no resolution in sight. Donald Trump has issued a hard ultimatum for Iran to reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has resisted amid ongoing hostilities. Iran has pushed back against U.S. demands, and the standoff has contributed to a surge in global oil prices above $110 per barrel.
These strong inflows come as Bitcoin continues to trade below the $70,000 zone, with subdued spot demand and ongoing distribution from large holders limiting upward momentum. In this environment, ETFs have played an increasingly important role, effectively serving as a key source of incremental buying pressure.
Over the past 24 hours, BTC has fallen 0.6% and is trading around $68,783, according to CoinGecko data.
