Bitcoin ETFs are finally seeing inflows after weeks of brutal sell-offs as the global crypto market recorded a mild recovery. US spot Bitcoin ETFs hit an eight-day streak of inflows suggesting that investors are gaining their confidence back again.

The cumulative digital asset market cap surged marginally on Wednesday morning to stand just short of $3 trillion. Its 24-hour trading volume took a hit of 5% to stand at $76 billion. The biggest of the cryptos like Bitcoin, Solana and Dogecoin printed green indexes while the fear and greed index remained “Neutral”.

Bitcoin ETFs see 8-day inflow streak

As per the data provided by Sosovalue, Bitcoin spot ETF recorded a total net inflow of $26.83 on March 25, marking 8 consecutive days of investors buying. This is the first streak of this length in 2025. It might sound great, but it’s still a drop in the ocean compared to the billions that flowed out between early February and mid-March.

BlackRock‘s ETF IBIT saw the highest inflow of $42 million. The total historical net inflow of IBIT stands at $39.83 billion. Bitwise’s ETF BITB posted the highest outflow of $10 million for the day, while WisdomTree’s BTCW bled another $5 million.

A day prior to this, Fidelity’s FBTC pulled in $82.85 million, bringing its total net inflows to $11.47 billion with $17.38 billion in assets. However, Bitwise’s BITB and BlackRock’s IBIT weren’t far behind. BITB gained $19.23 million while IBIT added $18.07 million on March 24.

As of now, the total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs stands at $99.07 billion with an ETF net asset ratio of 5.68%. Its cumulative net inflow has reached $36.16 billion.

Bitcoin and Ether ETFs face diverging fates

Now to the question whether this is the start of a real trend reversal, or just a temporary cooldown in ETF volatility. As per Santiment, ETFs have taken a positive turn since March 14. This comes in when Bitcoin and major altcoins dodged the selling pressure.

The crypto market bounced back nicely in the second half of March as traders swung the pendulum back toward mild greed. Investor sentiment depicted major fear in late February and early March after Bitcoin dipped as low as $78K on two occasions.

Bitcoin price is up by around 5% in the last 7 days, but it still remains down by 8% over the past 30 days. BTC is trading at an average price of $88,129 as of press time. It appears that this rebound to $88.5K has brought back a dose of optimism to retail traders.

Things look much more complicated on Ethereum’s side as its price has dropped by over 22% in the past 30 days. Ether gained around 3% in the last 7 days yet the sentiments haven’t improved much. ETH is trading just above the crucial $2,000 mark.

According to SoSoValue data, Ethereum spot ETF recorded a total net outflow of $3.2109 million.  Grayscale’s ETH had the largest net outflow of $1.75 million, but it still posted a total net inflow of $575 million overtime. Invesco’s QETH saw a single-day net outflow of $1.4 million. As of now,  the total net asset value of the Ethereum spot ETFs stands at $7.111 billion.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
