Bitwise’s BITB fund closed the day with a $10.2 million inflow, while Invesco’s BTCO fund saw a $7.5 million inflow.

With inflows recorded at $916.9 million on Wednesday and $936.4 million on Tuesday, the weekly total net inflow has surpassed $2.7 billion.
Bitcoin’s Strength Fuels Market Recovery
The rising demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs is directly linked to the recent price stability exhibited by Bitcoin. At the time of this report, BTC was trading at $93,687, having gained 1.3% in the last 24 hours, with a weekly price increase of 10%. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH)
$1,785, often viewed as a gauge for the altcoin market, is trading at $1,778 after a 0.43% rise.
This revival in the cryptocurrency market comes amid global trade wars and geopolitical tensions. Major U.S. stock indices closed positively, buoyed by expectations of easing tariff tensions with China. The Nasdaq rose by 2.7%, the S&P 500 by 2%, and the Dow Jones index by 1.2%.
Additionally, spot Ethereum ETFs have begun to regain investor interest, recording a net inflow of $63.5 million on Thursday after a $23.9 million outflow the previous day. Daily ETF trading volume has decreased to $2 billion, half of the $4 billion volume seen the day before, suggesting that investors may be consolidating positions after a period of intense buying.
However, the continued net inflows despite the reduced volume indicate that investor confidence remains intact. This evolving landscape is worth monitoring closely as market dynamics shift.
