- US spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed US$471 million in net inflows on Monday, their biggest single-day result since Feb. 25.
- BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led with roughly US$182 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC at US$147 million and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB at about US$119 million.
- Inflows arrived with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index pinned in “Extreme Fear” at 13 and roughly US$196 million in short positions liquidated.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in US$471 million (AU$683 million) in net inflows on Monday, their strongest daily result since late February.
The one-day intake was the largest for the 11-fund US spot Bitcoin ETF group since Feb. 25, when the products collectively attracted US$507 million (AU$735 million).
The rebound also pushed total assets under management back above US$90 billion (AU$130.5 billion), recovering some of the ground lost during about five weeks of net outflows earlier in the quarter.

BlackRock, Fidelity and ARK Lead Flows
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led Monday’s inflows with about US$182 million (AU$264 million), followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund with US$147 million (AU$213 million), according to Farside data.
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF added roughly US$119 million (AU$173 million), marking its biggest single-day inflow since July 10, 2025.
The broader start to April has also improved. Across the first three trading sessions of the month, US spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in US$307 million (AU$445 million) in net new capital. Spot Ether ETFs also posted a US$120 million (AU$174 million) inflow, despite logging about US$770 million (AU$1.12 billion) in net redemptions over the previous three months.
The renewed demand arrived against a notably cautious market backdrop. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index held at 13, a level associated with extreme fear, while Bitcoin gave up an earlier move toward US$70,000 (AU$101K). Its drop below US$69,000 helped trigger around US$196 million (AU$284 million) in short liquidations across derivatives markets, showing how heavily traders had been positioned for further downside before the reversal in fund flows.
Analysts said the data reinforces the role of ETFs as the main channel for institutional Bitcoin exposure.
Rather than holding the asset directly on-chain, traditional investors are increasingly using regulated fund structures, creating a holder base that may be steadier but also more sensitive to interest rates and broader financial conditions.
