For the first time this year, US spot Bitcoin ETFs strung together five consecutive days of net inflows, pulling in $767.32 million across the week according to SoSoValue data. The last time anything close to this happened was late November 2025, when a similar streak brought in $284.61 million. This week’s run nearly triples that.
Tuesday was the strongest day at $250.92 million. Friday closed the streak with another $180.33 million. Total net assets across spot Bitcoin ETFs now stand at $91.83 billion, with cumulative net inflows reaching $56.14 billion.
Spot Ether ETFs ran their own four-day inflow streak simultaneously, adding $212.14 million and reversing the outflows that had weighed on the product through early March. Thursday was the standout session at $115.85 million. Cumulative net inflows into US spot Ether ETFs now sit at $11.79 billion.
Both products running positive at the same time is a signal worth noting.
The backdrop makes the inflow streak harder to ignore. Middle East tensions, elevated oil prices, and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed macro risk sentiment lower. Historically, that kind of environment sends money into gold.
That is not what is happening right now.
Trader Thomas Kralow noted on X that “Gold ETFs have seen outflows, while Bitcoin ETFs continue pulling in capital.”
He pointed to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust attracting steady inflows while major gold funds like SPDR Gold Shares have seen money leave, arguing that for a growing group of institutional investors, Bitcoin is starting to compete with gold when uncertainty rises.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $70,686, down 1.49% on the day.
Bitunix analysts point to a short-liquidity cluster near $71,300 acting as near-term resistance, with a larger concentration between $72,000 and $73,500. Downside support sits around $69,000.
DaanCryptoTrades put it in context on X, noting that 2025 saw $20B+ in ETF inflows while BTC ended the year just about in the red. His point: the price action wasn’t ideal, but those inflows rotated coins into ETF hands, building a more solid and diversified base for the long term.
The flows are building. Whether price confirms it is the question the market is sitting with heading into next week’s FOMC meeting.
Institutional demand is rising as investors look for alternative safe-haven assets. Over $767M entered Bitcoin ETFs in five days, showing growing confidence despite market volatility.
Sustained ETF inflows strengthen long-term demand. If Bitcoin breaks resistance around $71K–$73.5K, analysts say the next bullish momentum could follow.
Analysts expect Bitcoin to trade between $120K and $170K in 2026 if institutional adoption and ETF inflows continue, though some forecasts range from $70K to $250K depending on market conditions.
