Bitcoin ETFs: six consecutive days of investment inflows and nearly $1 billion in a week
U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded their sixth consecutive day of positive capital inflows — the longest streak since October last year, while Bitcoin gained more than 12% over the same period.
According to Farside Investors, on March 16 the net inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs on U.S. exchanges amounted to $199.4 million. The leaders were BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, which attracted $139.4 million and $64.5 million, respectively.
The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and Franklin Bitcoin ETF added modest inflows of $2.8 million and $2.1 million, while the VanEck Bitcoin ETF and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF recorded outflows of $6.3 million and $3.1 million.
Total inflows for the period since March 9 reached $962.8 million. During the same time, Bitcoin rose by 12.5% — from $65,960 to $74,250.

October record still out of reach
The current streak is impressive, but it still pales compared with the nine-day record set in September–October 2025, when Bitcoin ETFs accumulated nearly $6 billion.
During that period, Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $126,080.
Geopolitics and FOMO push the market
The analytical platform Santiment pointed to rumors of diplomatic progress between the United States, Iran, and Israel as one of the factors that allowed Bitcoin to break above $74,400 for the first time in six weeks.
“This bullish momentum was enough for FOMO to reach its highest level since January 2,” analysts noted, adding that traders once again see cryptocurrencies as a sector with growth potential in the coming weeks and months.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index today rose by five points to 28, leaving the “extreme fear” zone for the first time since the end of January.
AI opinion
From the perspective of machine data analysis, the six-day inflow streak looks different when considering the preceding context: since the beginning of 2026, Bitcoin ETFs have lost $2.5 billion over five weeks.
The current inflow of $963 million represents only one-third of what the market lost during the period of deep pessimism.
The mathematics does not yet favor a “reversal”: several such streaks will be required to fully restore the investment inflow.
