The latest inflow activity also places Bitcoin ETFs on track for a sixth consecutive week of positive flows, potentially becoming the longest weekly inflow streak since July 2025.

Institutional Bitcoin Demand Supports Market Recovery

The steady ETF inflows come as Bitcoin continues recovering from its February lows near $62,000. BTC has recently traded between $81,000 and $82,000, posting a gain of roughly 26% over the past three months.

Market analysts said the continued inflows reflect growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long term portfolio asset rather than a speculative trade. Strong ETF demand has also contributed to broader market stability during the recent crypto rally.

Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs also maintained positive momentum, recording their fourth straight day of inflows with $11.6 million added on Wednesday and $271.6 million accumulated during the four-day period.
