U.S. spot Bitcoin funds pulled in about $2.1 billion over eight straight trading days through April 23 as Bitcoin traded back above $77,000. (coindesk.com) (coinmarketcap.com) Daily net inflows reached $411.4 million on April 14, $186.1 million on April 15, $26.1 million on April 16 and $663.9 million on April 17, according to Farside Investors’ U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF tracker. (farside.co.uk) The streak continued with $238.4 million on April 20, $11.8 million on April 21, $335.8 million on April 22 and $223.3 million on April 23, bringing the eight-session total to roughly $2.1 billion. (farside.co.uk) (coindesk.com) BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, trading under IBIT, accounted for $246 million of the April 23 intake and about $1.9 billion over the past month, according to The Block. (theblock.co) Ben Slavin, global head of ETFs at BNY Asset Servicing, told The Block that spot Bitcoin ETF flows had “turned positive for the year.” Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said every rolling period Bloomberg tracks was back in positive territory. (theblock.co) That shift followed a March pullback that The Block linked to inflation worries and the conflict involving Iran, which had pushed investors out of the funds late in the month. (theblock.co) Bitcoin’s price recovery ran alongside the ETF rebound. CoinMarketCap data shows Bitcoin closed at $77,126.88 on April 17, $78,203.10 on April 22 and $77,455.32 on April 24. (coinmarketcap.com) The funds are still below their late-2025 peak. The Block reported total spot Bitcoin ETF assets at about $125 billion, versus an all-time high above $162 billion in October 2025, when Bitcoin traded above $120,000. (theblock.co) For now, the latest signal is simple: money is moving back into regulated Bitcoin funds, and BlackRock’s vehicle is still setting the pace. (theblock.co)
