Record Bitcoin ETF inflows turn market around

After weeks of downward pressure, the crypto market has come back to life. Bitcoin skyrockets to a peak of nearly $96,000, driven by institutional interest in Bitcoin ETFs. It’s the strongest ETF inflow week in years, and that impact is being felt across the entire market.

Institutional capital inflow moves the market

Over the past week, more money flowed into Bitcoin ETFs than we’ve seen in years. According to data from Santiment, this is the highest net inflow since early 2017, just before Donald Trump’s inauguration. Major players like BlackRock are leading the charge, clearly boosting confidence in crypto.

It’s not just Bitcoin that’s benefiting. The entire crypto market is getting a boost from these movements, which are creating a structural trend reversal. Investors who had been sidelined for months now seem to be finding their way back, thanks to the positive signal this inflow sends.

Bitcoin hits a new high

Bitcoin’s price shot up to $95,800, a level not seen since the recent corrections. This price increase comes at a time when many traders are turning bullish again, partly due to the optimism surrounding institutional involvement.

Investors are also viewing ETFs with fresh eyes as a gateway to crypto, especially now that products from major names like BlackRock are gaining more traction. This is seen as a confirmation of the market’s maturation.

The upward trend could gain further momentum if this inflow continues. Attention is not only focused on ETFs but also on how other institutions are responding to this shift in market structure.

What does this mean for the rest of the year?

If this momentum continues, it could very well mark the beginning of a broader bull market. Analysts note that not just retail traders, but especially institutional players now seem to be taking the lead. That offers potential for further growth, provided macroeconomic conditions don’t spoil the party.

The fact that investors are stepping back in despite earlier corrections indicates that confidence in crypto as an asset class is growing. Especially with the rise of new ETFs and increasing regulation on the horizon, this is a trend worth keeping a close eye on.
