Bitcoin ETFs post $506 million daily inflow reflecting improved investor sentiment
Bitcoin ETF rebound gains pace

​U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of 506.5 million dollars in a single day, marking the strongest result in three weeks. According to SoSoValue, the largest contribution came from BlackRock IBIT fund, which attracted 297.4 million dollars. Fidelity and Grayscale funds also posted inflows, while no ETF recorded outflows that day.

Since the beginning of the year, flows had remained negative as volatility and price declines weighed on investor confidence. Through February 20, funds recorded five consecutive weeks of net outflows, with more than 3.8 billion dollars withdrawn, The Block reported. The latest inflow may indicate a partial recovery in sentiment. “Institutional investors are cautiously returning to accumulation after a period of risk reduction,” said Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research. He added that positioning remains balanced, suggesting stabilization rather than a full trend reversal.

Inflows extend to other crypto ETFs

Other cryptocurrency funds also posted gains on Wednesday. Ethereum ETFs attracted 157.1 million dollars, while Solana ETFs saw 30.9 million dollars in inflows, the strongest daily result for SOL funds since Dec. 15, 2025. The moves came amid broader improvement in market sentiment.

Bitcoin rose 3.8 percent over 24 hours to approach 68,000 dollars, while Ether gained 7.6 percent to surpass 2,000 dollars, according to The Block. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index climbed to 11 from 5 earlier in the week. Despite the increase, the reading remains in the fear zone, reflecting continued caution among investors.

Market discusses Jane Street factor

Some market participants linked the price rebound to a pause in the alleged 10 a.m. Eastern Time selloffs. Social media discussions suggested that intraday pressure may have been connected to trading firm Jane Street. Following reports of a lawsuit involving the company, some commentators claimed that the morning selling pattern weakened.

However, analysts urged restraint. Bitwise adviser Jeff Park said no single firm can dictate movements in a market of this scale. “The rally looks more like short term relief than a structural reversal,” said Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research. He added that further direction will depend on macroeconomic stabilization and sustained ETF inflows.

Institutional flows and market implications

Assets under management in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs remain a key indicator of institutional demand. After five weeks of outflows, markets are watching whether the current inflow marks the beginning of a new trend. Even a one day move of 506 million dollars can affect short term liquidity and volatility.

If inflows persist for several weeks, it could signal a shift from tactical buying to structural institutional demand. Otherwise, the rebound risks remaining temporary. For investors, ETF flows remain one of the primary indicators of direction in the crypto market amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
