Six consecutive days of capital flows into US Bitcoin ETFs amid cryptocurrency surge
American spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have accumulated close to $1 billion in fresh investments starting March 9, during which Bitcoin's value climbed over 12% to reach $74,250.
Exchange-traded funds tracking spot Bitcoin prices in the United States registered their sixth consecutive day of positive capital flows on Monday, coinciding with Bitcoin's price appreciation exceeding 12% during this timeframe, representing the most extended period of continuous fresh investments into these financial products since October of the previous year.
According to information compiled by Farside Investors, Bitcoin-focused ETFs accumulated $199.4 million in net capital inflows on Monday. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) managed by BlackRock and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund dominated the inflows, capturing $139.4 million and $64.5 million respectively.
Additional inflows were recorded by the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF at $2.8 million and the Franklin Bitcoin ETF at $2.1 million, whereas the VanEck Bitcoin ETF and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF experienced capital outflows totaling $6.3 million and $3.1 million respectively.
The cumulative net capital inflows beginning March 9 have reached $962.8 million, corresponding with Bitcoin (BTC) experiencing a 12.5% price appreciation from $65,960 to $74,250 throughout this timeframe.
This current streak of inflows comes after a substantially more significant nine-day period spanning September through October 2025, during which Bitcoin investment products accumulated close to $6 billion in total inflows.
During that earlier period, Bitcoin traded at considerably elevated levels, achieving an all-time peak of $126,080 within that timeframe.
The latest uptick in capital flows toward Bitcoin ETFs alongside the digital currency's spot market price appreciation occurs against a backdrop of continuing geopolitical uncertainty involving the United States and Iran, coupled with instability across oil markets.
Speculation about diplomatic advances has benefited Bitcoin
Nevertheless, the blockchain data analytics platform Santiment indicated that circulating speculation regarding diplomatic headway being achieved among the United States, Iran and Israel has served as a contributing element to Bitcoin surging past the $74,400 threshold for the first occurrence in six weeks.
"This upward momentum has proven sufficient to elevate FOMO to its most elevated level since January 2nd," Santiment observed.
In spite of global uncertainty at the moment, traders are once again seeing crypto as a sector with rise potential in the coming weeks and months.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rating, which serves as a gauge of Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency market sentiment, similarly rose by five points to reach 28 on Tuesday — exiting the "Extreme Fear" territory for the first instance since the latter part of January.
