On the last trading day, a total of $936 million was net invested in spot Bitcoin
93,681 ETFs in the United States. This marks the highest single-day inflow since January 17. Observers note that this development indicates a growing perception of Bitcoin as a safe haven amidst global geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
Institutional Investors Make a Comeback
With positive inflows over the past three days, U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs have seen capital inflows exceeding $1.4 billion. The largest contribution on Tuesday came from the Ark & 21Shares fund, registering a net inflow of $267.1 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC product with $253.8 million and BlackRock’s IBIT fund with $193.5 million.
Bitcoin ETF – April 22 Data
BTC Markets analyst Rachael Lucas pointed out that the strong demand for ETFs signifies a structural change. She stated, “Macroeconomic turmoil, advantages in supply dynamics, and an increasing recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic asset class are redirecting institutional capital back to cryptocurrencies.”
During this period, Bitcoin’s resilience against market uncertainties has further boosted interest in ETFs. Bitcoin is currently trading at $93,765, reflecting a 6.4% increase in the last 24 hours.
Inflation Concerns and Weak Dollar Drive Inflows
Presto Research analyst Min Jung remarked that investors are reassessing Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks. “It may still be early to fully define Bitcoin as a safe haven, but its limited pullbacks during recent global risk events suggest it is beginning to be perceived as digital gold,” he explained.
Lucas added that the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, concerns about persistent inflation, and expectations that the Fed may return to monetary expansion are increasing interest in Bitcoin. “The total asset value held in spot Bitcoin ETFs has surpassed $103 billion, reducing circulating supply and exerting upward pressure on prices,” she noted.
Another development boosting investor confidence is the anticipation of easing tensions in the U.S.-China trade war. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in an interview that President Trump plans to reduce trade tensions with China “very soon.” On the same day, Trump announced he would retain Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, calming fears stemming from market uncertainties.
Bitget COO Vugar Usi Zade mentioned that if the Fed continues to signal dovish policies and the dollar weakens further, there could be more capital flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to Zade, “Global liquidity abundance, geopolitical risks, and the U.S.’s crypto-friendly policies, such as measures like the Bitcoin Law, can further increase investor interest.”
