The Bitcoin ETF inflows reflect the overall trend on the crypto market. According to the most recent CoinShares data, digital asset investment products saw inflows of $3.3 billion last week, bringing the six-week inflow streak to $10.5 billion.
Bitcoin led the pack with $2.9 billion in inflows, accounting for a fourth of total inflows in 2024. Meanwhile, other speculators saw recent price advances as an opportunity to short Bitcoin, garnering $12.7 million, the largest weekly inflow since December 2024.
Bitcoin price rebounds
Bitcoin recovered slightly under $110,000 on Monday after a weekend sell-off amid broader relief across global risk markets, with U.S. and European equity futures up more than 1%.
Over the weekend, Bitcoin fell from around $111,000 to as low as $108,600, with the resulting risk-off sentiment wiping out over $500 million in long liquidations across the crypto market, but the tone changed early Monday.
At press time, BTC was up 2.68% in the last 24 hours to $109,751 and up 7% weekly. If Bitcoin concludes today in the green, it will be the third straight day of gains since May 24.
Bitcoin hit a new record high near $112,000 on May 22 in a slower-than-usual climb fueled by increasing institutional ownership of the digital asset and corporate adoption.
