Bitcoin ETFs are finally seeing inflows after weeks of brutal sell-offs as the global crypto market recorded a mild recovery. US spot Bitcoin ETFs hit an eight-day streak of inflows suggesting that investors are gaining their confidence back again.
The cumulative digital asset market cap surged marginally on Wednesday morning to stand just short of $3 trillion. Its 24-hour trading volume took a hit of 5% to stand at $76 billion. The biggest of the cryptos like Bitcoin, Solana and Dogecoin printed green indexes while the fear and greed index remained “Neutral”.
Bitcoin ETFs see 8-day inflow streak
As per the data provided by Sosovalue, Bitcoin spot ETF recorded a total net inflow of $26.83 on March 25, marking 8 consecutive days of investors buying. This is the first streak of this length in 2025. It might sound great, but it’s still a drop in the ocean compared to the billions that flowed out between early February and mid-March.
BlackRock‘s ETF IBIT saw the highest inflow of $42 million. The total historical net inflow of IBIT stands at $39.83 billion. Bitwise’s ETF BITB posted the highest outflow of $10 million for the day, while WisdomTree’s BTCW bled another $5 million.
A day prior to this, Fidelity’s FBTC pulled in $82.85 million, bringing its total net inflows to $11.47 billion with $17.38 billion in assets. However, Bitwise’s BITB and BlackRock’s IBIT weren’t far behind. BITB gained $19.23 million while IBIT added $18.07 million on March 24.
As of now, the total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs stands at $99.07 billion with an ETF net asset ratio of 5.68%. Its cumulative net inflow has reached $36.16 billion.
Bitcoin and Ether ETFs face diverging fates
Now to the question whether this is the start of a real trend reversal, or just a temporary cooldown in ETF volatility. As per Santiment, ETFs have taken a positive turn since March 14. This comes in when Bitcoin and major altcoins dodged the selling pressure.
The crypto market bounced back nicely in the second half of March as traders swung the pendulum back toward mild greed. Investor sentiment depicted major fear in late February and early March after Bitcoin dipped as low as $78K on two occasions.
💸📈 ETF's have taken a positive turn since March 14th, and so has $BTC and altcoins. There have now been seven straight days with more money moving in to Bitcoin ETF's (positive inflow) than moving out (negative inflow). This is the first streak of this length in 2025. pic.twitter.com/9V1LNQ95uX

Bitcoin price is up by around 5% in the last 7 days, but it still remains down by 8% over the past 30 days. BTC is trading at an average price of $88,129 as of press time. It appears that this rebound to $88.5K has brought back a dose of optimism to retail traders.
Things look much more complicated on Ethereum’s side as its price has dropped by over 22% in the past 30 days. Ether gained around 3% in the last 7 days yet the sentiments haven’t improved much. ETH is trading just above the crucial $2,000 mark.
