- Bitcoin ETFs rebound with $240M inflows after six-day slump.
- BlackRock and Fidelity lead massive turnaround in crypto ETF demand.
- Investor confidence returns as trading volumes surge across bitcoin funds.
U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) made a strong comeback on Thursday after enduring six straight days of losses. According to SoSoValue data, the funds recorded $240 million in net inflows, signaling renewed investor confidence following a sharp wave of outflows earlier in the week.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) took the lead with $112.4 million flowing in, reaffirming its dominant position in the market. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with $61.6 million, while Ark Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB attracted $60.4 million. Additionally, Bitwise’s BITB secured $5.5 million in new inflows, showing a coordinated return of buying pressure across the board.
Moreover, trading volumes jumped to $4.77 billion, compared to $4.07 billion the previous day. This rise in activity highlighted a swift rebound in investor interest, suggesting that the pullback phase might be giving way to renewed optimism in the crypto market.

Market Sentiment Strengthens Despite Bitcoin’s Price Dip
Despite the positive ETF performance, bitcoin’s price slipped 1.32% in the past 24 hours, trading at $101,919 and down roughly 7% over the past week. Ethereum also edged lower by 1.2%, hovering around $3,345, according to The Block’s price data.
Even so, analysts remain upbeat about bitcoin’s medium-term outlook. According to JPMorgan experts, the cryptocurrency could rally to around $170,000 within six to twelve months when compared to gold on a volatility-adjusted basis.
In addition, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs reported $12.5 million in inflows on Thursday, also ending a six-day outflow streak. This synchronized recovery between Bitcoin and Ethereum funds reflected improving sentiment among institutional investors.
Overall, Thursday’s surge in inflows marks a vital turning point for crypto ETFs. The data suggests that major investors are regaining confidence, fueling hopes for a broader market revival even as prices consolidate.
