Bitcoin ETFs See Strongest Inflows in Six Weeks as Macro Risks Persist
Summary
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $471.3 million in net inflows on Monday, the highest daily total in over six weeks.
BlackRock and Fidelity led the surge, with additional inflows across ARK 21Shares, Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck products.
Despite strong institutional demand, macro uncertainty continues to weigh on market sentiment.
Fresh capital returned to U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs at the start of the week, with Monday posting the strongest single-day inflows in over a month and a half.
According to data from SoSoValue, total net inflows reached $471.3 million across six issuers. Leading the charge, BlackRock’s IBIT brought in $181.9 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $147.3 million. ARK Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB added another $118.7 million, while smaller inflows were recorded across products from Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck.
This marks the largest daily intake since February 25, when inflows hit $506 million. The rebound also offsets the $173.7 million in net outflows seen on April 1, signaling a swift shift in investor positioning.
Beyond Bitcoin, spot Ethereum ETFs also attracted strong demand, logging $120.2 million in net inflows—their highest daily total since mid-March.
Market analysts suggest that continued ETF inflows could provide structural support for Bitcoin prices and help the asset break out of its current range. However, broader macroeconomic uncertainty remains a key overhang.
Geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate, with Donald Trump setting an April 7 deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—a crucial global energy route that has remained disrupted for weeks, pushing oil prices higher.
Trump warned of severe consequences, including potential strikes on key infrastructure, if the demands are not met, further heightening market anxiety.
For now, Bitcoin remains highly sensitive to macro developments. A de-escalation in geopolitical tensions could revive risk appetite and support further upside, while continued conflict may keep markets volatile and cap gains.
