Bitcoin ETF Inflows Rebound

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a seven‑day inflow streak totaling about $1.2 billion, with $199.4 million added on Tuesday and aggregate ETF AUM near $96.7 billion. (cointelegraph.com) That seven‑day run remains well below October 2025’s nine‑day surge, which put roughly $6 billion into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. (cointelegraph.com) BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominated recent flows, leading single‑day inflows in mid‑March with roughly $139–144 million and accounting for the lion’s share of weekly demand. (tekedia.com, livebitcoinnews.com) Rotation across products showed Grayscale’s GBTC with an $18.8 million outflow on March 18, highlighting reallocations within the ETF complex. (blockchain.news) Ether‑linked ETFs remain net negative year‑to‑date (about −$364.5 million) despite intermittent March inflows, underscoring a persistent demand gap versus Bitcoin spot products. (cointelegraph.com) Insurance channels are incorporating ETF‑based crypto exposure: Delaware Life launched a fixed‑indexed annuity tied to BlackRock’s U.S. Equity Bitcoin Balanced Risk 12% Index on Jan. 20, 2026, which accesses IBIT to deliver Bitcoin exposure within a principal‑protected wrapper. (businesswire.com) BlackRock expanded IBIT’s operational setup by naming Anchorage Digital as a secondary custodian in an April 7, 2025 Form 8‑K filing, a move that industry filings and reporting framed as strengthening redundancy and lowering custodian counterparty risk. (cryptoslate.com) Data aggregators put recent March Bitcoin ETF intake in the range of several hundred million to over $1 billion across short windows, coinciding with Bitcoin’s March outperformance versus equities and indicating ETF buying has materially absorbed institutional capital.
