Interest in spot Bitcoin 
$76,429 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States has surged once again. On Monday, a total net inflow of $381.4 million marked the highest daily inflow recorded since January 30. Despite a significant decline in traditional financial markets, Bitcoin maintained its stability, surpassing the $88,000 level. This activity in ETFs and price movement indicates a renewed interest from institutional players in the cryptocurrency market.
ARKB, FBTC, and BITB Lead ETF Inflows
According to SoSoValue data, among the twelve different spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S., the highest inflow was seen in Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB fund, with a notable net inflow of $116.1 million. Following closely was Fidelity’s FBTC fund with $87.6 million in inflows. Bitwise’s BITB fund also attracted $45.1 million. BlackRock’s IBIT fund, which is the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by net assets, recorded an inflow of $41.6 million.
The robust demand for ETFs is directly related to Bitcoin’s price performance. On Monday, the largest cryptocurrency tested the $88,000 mark multiple times while maintaining its strength despite a wave of sell-offs in traditional financial markets.
The sharp decline in U.S. stock markets and the weakening dollar have steered investors towards alternative assets. Bitcoin’s appeal as a safe haven for investors seeking refuge is reflected in the trading volumes of ETFs, which reached a total of $3.75 billion. This figure represents nearly double the $1.55 billion trading volume just four days prior.
As the Dollar Weakens, Bitcoin Gains Strength
U.S. President Donald Trump’s sharp criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his call for “preventative rate cuts” have resonated in the markets. The dollar index (DXY) has fallen to its lowest level in three years, with analysts like Peter Chung describing this decline as a structural weakening. According to Chung, the U.S. share of global GDP has halved since World War II, increasing investors’ quest to diversify dollar risk. Bitcoin is emerging as a clear response to this pursuit.
As alternative assets like gold and Bitcoin rise, the largest altcoin, Ethereum (ETH) 
$2,262, interestingly, has been negatively affected by these developments. There was a notable outflow of $25.4 million from spot Ethereum ETFs. Moreover, Ethereum’s value dropped by 4% within 24 hours, falling to $1,581, reflecting investors’ cautious stance. In contrast, Bitcoin increased by 0.76% during the same period, exceeding $88,000.
