Bitcoin ETFs See $532 Million Inflows as BTC Reclaims $80K

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States recorded net inflows of $532.21 million on Monday, aligning with Bitcoin’s return above the $80,000 level. The move reflects a shift in investor sentiment following easing geopolitical tensions linked to a US-Iran ceasefire, which has supported broader risk assets.

The latest data extends a three day inflow streak, following $629.73 million on Friday and $14.76 million on Thursday. This rebound comes after a three-day outflow period totaling $490.63 million.
