📊 Massive Inflows Into Spot Bitcoin ETFs Continue
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded a massive inflow of capital over the past 10 days, indicating strong investor confidence even amid broader market volatility. According to data from SosoValue, reported by U.Today on May 29, over $4.26 billion (approximately ₩5.84 trillion) flowed into Bitcoin ETFs during this period.
This continued capital injection underscores a notable divergence between institutional investment activity and the retail investor sentiment, which remains cautious due to persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and price pullbacks across the crypto market.
🔁 Crypto Prices Struggle, But Institutional Interest Remains
While the overall cryptocurrency market faces ongoing bearish pressure, including a retreat in Bitcoin’s price to previous support levels, ETF investment vehicles are showing exceptional strength.
Bitcoin-based investment products are still attracting large amounts of capital, suggesting that institutional investors view Bitcoin as a long-term opportunity—especially through regulated, familiar financial structures like ETFs.
📅 10 Days of Consecutive Net Inflows
The current inflow streak began on May 14, 2025, with a daily net inflow of approximately $319.6 million. From that day through May 28, Bitcoin ETFs have posted 10 consecutive days of positive net flows.
On May 28 alone, net inflows hit $432.6 million, marking one of the strongest days since the ETFs launched. Since their approval and launch in January 2024, total cumulative net inflows across all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have now reached approximately $45.34 billion.
This trend not only highlights growing institutional trust in Bitcoin as an investable asset but also reflects the increasing mainstream adoption of crypto through regulated channels.
🏦 BlackRock Leads the Charge Amid Mixed Flows
Among the ETF issuers, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) continues to dominate, consistently leading in daily inflows. On May 28, BlackRock added $48.88 million, reinforcing its position as the most favored Bitcoin ETF.
However, not all issuers followed the same path. ARK 21Shares (ARKB) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) saw outflows of $34.29 million and $14.05 million respectively, highlighting diverging investor preferences.
Despite this mixed picture, BlackRock’s performance has played a crucial role in maintaining overall positive momentum across the ETF sector.
🚀 ETFs Driving Mainstream Bitcoin Adoption
The surge in ETF inflows reveals that regulated investment products are playing a pivotal role in driving crypto adoption. These vehicles offer traditional investors easy access to Bitcoin without the complexities of wallets or private keys, and they're becoming a gateway for wider institutional adoption.
As more investors turn to ETFs amid market uncertainty, Bitcoin’s growing status as a legitimate store of value and hedge asset seems to be gaining traction.
