Catenaa, Thursday, March 05, 2026- US spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $458.2 million in net inflows Monday, signaling renewed institutional demand amid global instability and recent market volatility.
Data from SoSoValue show the gains were led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which attracted $263.2 million.
Seven other funds, including products from Fidelity Investments and Grayscale Investments, also posted inflows, while none reported outflows.
The move extends last week’s reversal, when bitcoin ETFs logged $787 million in net inflows after five consecutive weeks of withdrawals. January and February had seen more than $1.8 billion exit the funds as prices fell and volatility increased.
Analysts said institutional investors appear to view bitcoin’s recent correction as a buying opportunity, diverging from cautious retail sentiment.
Market observers noted that large allocators such as pension funds and endowments may be positioning for a macroeconomic rebound, citing bitcoin’s role as a diversifier during geopolitical stress.
The inflows come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and broader global uncertainty.
Some analysts said institutions are allocating capital despite instability, viewing structural ETF demand and price stabilization as reasons to enter positions.
Other crypto-linked ETFs also recorded gains. Spot Ethereum funds drew $38.7 million, while Solana and XRP products saw $17.4 million and about $7 million in net inflows, respectively.
