Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the US have broken a four-month lull, achieving their longest streak of daily inflows this year. This uptick comes as institutional interest appears to be reviving amidst a fluctuating macroeconomic environment.
According to data from SosoValue, the collection of 11 investment vehicles attracted over $767 million in new investments within just five days, from March 9 to March 13.
Bitcoin ETFs Gather 18,000 $BTC as Institutional Interest Rises
This trend signifies a notable turnaround for the sector that had been facing net outflows since November 2025 due to rising geopolitical tensions.
The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) by BlackRock has emerged as the key driver behind this recovery. The fund alone accounted for $600 million of the total inflow during that week, which is more than 78% of all contributions.
Following closely was Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund with an influx of $147.5 million. In contrast, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust only saw modest inflows amounting to $15.3 million—this starkly contrasts with last year’s significant liquidations affecting its converted trust.
Ecoinometrics analysts highlighted that these figures suggest that Bitcoin ETFs are finally gaining momentum again.
The demand for Bitcoin ETFs is showing promising signs.
Since early March, spot Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed around +18K $BTC. This marks a sharp departure from the previous four months which were characterized by net outflows.

The firm pointed out that approximately 18,000 $BTC has been absorbed by these ETFs since early March—a significant shift compared to prior months’ trends.
“This does not confirm recovery yet; however if this trend continues… it would bolster arguments suggesting that Bitcoin is establishing a solid foundation,” they added.
A noteworthy aspect is how this surge in buying activity coincided with an increase in Bitcoin’s price, which rose over six percent within seven days and approached $71,791 at one point.
This performance stands out especially against the backdrop of ongoing US-Iran tensions—a situation historically prompting investors towards traditional “safe havens,” such as gold.
Data provided by financial firm River indicates that since 2020, during major geopolitical crises, Bitcoin has consistently surpassed both gold and the S&P 500 in performance metrics.

This suggests some institutional investors may now regard digital assets as viable hedges against instability present in traditional markets.
