US-traded spot Bitcoin ETFs have snapped a four-month cooling period, recording their longest daily inflow streak this year. This surge comes as institutional demand shows renewed signs of life amidst a volatile macroeconomic backdrop.
The suite of 11 investment products attracted more than $767 million in fresh capital over a five-day period from March 9 to March 13, according to data from SosoValue.
Bitcoin ETFs Absorb 18,000 BTC as Institutional Demand Turns Higher
The streak marks a significant pivot for the sector, which had been struggling with net outflows since November 2025 amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) continues to be the primary engine of the recovery. The fund accounted for $600 million of the week’s total, representing more than 78% of all inflows.
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund followed with $147.5 million in inflows. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust recorded a modest $15.3 million, marking a stark contrast to the massive liquidations that plagued the converted trust last year.
Analysts at Ecoinometrics, a macro intelligence platform, noted that these numbers indicate Bitcoin ETFs are finally showing signs of life.
The firm noted that the ETFs have absorbed approximately 18,000 BTC since the start of March, which is a “sharp break” from the previous four months.
“It does not mean the recovery is confirmed yet. But if this pace holds… it would strengthen the case that Bitcoin is building a base,” it added.
Notably, the resurgence in buying coincided with a recovery in Bitcoin’s price, which climbed more than 6% over the last seven days to trade near $71,791.
The performance is particularly notable given the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which has historically sent investors fleeing to traditional “safe havens” like gold.
Data from the financial firm River indicates that Bitcoin has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 and gold during major geopolitical events since 2020.
This suggests that some institutional portfolios may now view digital assets as a legitimate hedge against traditional market instability.
