Bitcoin ETFs Draw Cash Again as Token Remains 50% Below Record
US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a second consecutive week of net inflows after nearly two months of capital flight, raising hopes that cryptocurrencies may be finding a floor.
The 13 spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $75.7 million last week, adding to the $197.4 million they secured the previous week. That’s despite investors draining $424.7 million from the funds last Monday after renewed military conflict between the US and Iran.
The reversal, combined with flows into ETFs tied to Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, could signal positive sentiment returning to the market, according to Richard Galvin, executive chairman at crypto investment firm DACM.
