US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Attract $1.6 Billion in Best Weekly Inflows in 10 Months as Price Crosses $77,000
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their strongest weekly net inflows in nearly 10 months, capturing approximately $1.6 billion across four trading sessions. The surge reflects a decisive resurgence in institutional demand, coinciding with a sharp price rally and improving risk appetite across digital asset markets.
Daily inflows remained robust throughout the week, highlighted by a single-day influx exceeding $606 million. Leading the institutional wave was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which absorbed approximately $1.3 billion in fresh capital, consolidating its position as the primary institutional vehicle for spot cryptocurrency exposure.
The aggressive capital rotation provided key technical and liquidity tailwinds, propelling Bitcoin past the $77,000 mark. The underlying asset booked its strongest weekly performance in over two years, supported by a softer U.S. dollar, favorable macroeconomic liquidity projections, and growing regulatory optimism in Washington.

Key Market Drivers & Macro Dynamics
Institutional vs. Speculative Surge: Unlike earlier retail-driven rallies, the recent price breakout was heavily underpinned by verifiable capital accumulation within regulated, institutional-grade fund structures.
Regulated Access Advantage: The accelerated inflows demonstrate sustained preference from wealth managers, family offices, and institutional allocators for transparent, regulated ETP wrappers rather than navigating direct crypto custody or private wallets.
Macro & Regulatory Tailwinds: A softening U.S. dollar index (DXY) alongside improving global liquidity forecasts and policy optimism around digital asset regulation created a favorable macro backdrop for high-beta digital assets.
