Bitcoin ETF Inflows Spike Post Trump: Is BTC Set for a New High?

The U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were caught in the broader market selloff following the second inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Despite this turbulence, Bitcoin ETFs have maintained steady weekly cash inflows, totaling approximately $5.4 billion since the second week of February 2025.

As investors adjust to the macroeconomic shifts triggered by U.S.-led tariff wars, Bitcoin is emerging as a preferred hedge. Institutional investors are increasingly betting that Bitcoin will mirror gold’s recent surge—gold hit a new all-time high earlier today, adding to the bullish sentiment around digital assets.

BlackRock’s Aggressive Bitcoin Accumulation

In a recent interview, Robbie Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, highlighted that institutional adoption is not yet fully reflected in Bitcoin’s price action. However, investors at BlackRock’s IBIT fund are doubling down, accelerating Bitcoin accumulation in anticipation of a major price rally.

Over the past two days, IBIT has seen a net cash inflow of around $260 million, bringing its total cumulative net inflow to an impressive $39.5 billion.

Despite market fluctuations, U.S. spot BTC ETF issuers have collectively recorded a net inflow of approximately $483 million since the start of the week. On Tuesday alone, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $209 million in fresh investments, pushing total net assets to roughly $91.9 billion.

Midterm Targets for BTC Price

In the daily timeframe, Bitcoin price has been forming a possible reversal pattern, characterized by an inverted head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. As Coinpedia noted earlier today, the flagship coin is hovering at a crucial crossroads, which could either lead to a rally towards $109k or a further dip towards $71k.
