Bitcoin ETFs Hit the Longest Inflow Streak in 9 Months as Tokenized ETFs Reach $400M

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak to six straight weeks as institutional investors increased exposure during Bitcoin’s recovery above $80,000.

The latest flows marked the longest positive run for Bitcoin ETFs since Aug. 2025. More than $3.4 billion has entered the products since early April, reflecting improving sentiment across crypto and broader risk markets.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Longest Inflow Streak Since Aug. 2025

Bitcoin ETFs added another $622.75 million in net inflows this week, according to SoSoValue data. The latest figure extended the positive streak to six consecutive weeks.

The previous longest run occurred in Aug. 2025 before Bitcoin climbed toward its all-time high near $126,000 in Sept. 2025.

Weekly inflows accelerated sharply after early April. Bitcoin ETFs recorded $786.31 million, $996.38 million, and $823.70 million in separate weekly sessions during the period.

Last week’s $153.87 million inflow marked one of the weaker weeks in the streak. Only the week ending April 2 posted a lower figure at $22.34 million.

The sustained inflows suggested institutional investors rotated back into Bitcoin as macro sentiment stabilized. Bitcoin also outperformed gold since the start of the U.S.-Iran conflict, signaling stronger demand for risk assets.

Historically, Bitcoin has tracked equities during broader liquidity expansions. However, analysts remain cautious about directly linking ETF inflows to another all-time high.

Tokenized ETF Market Cap Climbs to $400 Million

The rebound extended beyond Bitcoin ETFs into tokenized equity products.

According to Token Terminal data, tokenized ETF market capitalization climbed to $400 million as on-chain financial products expanded. The growth reflected increasing interest in blockchain-based exposure to traditional assets.

Several tokenized ETF products linked to Ondo Finance dominated the market. The largest included tokenized versions of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, Invesco QQQ, and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust also appeared among the largest tokenized equity products.

The expansion came as lawmakers continued discussions around the CLARITY Act, which could provide clearer rules for tokenized assets and digital securities in the United States.

Still, some market participants criticized the trend. Critics argued tokenization was replicating traditional financial products instead of expanding crypto-native innovation.

Bitcoin Positioning Index Shows Building Bulls Exposure

On the Futures market, bulls were continuing to build exposure with positioning in the green. This indicated derivative traders were accumulating Bitcoin with leverage. This was different for spot traders.

The spot market was still in the negative territory. That is, Bitcoin basis percentage reading for futures trading below spot was below 0.20.

Altogether, Bitcoin ETFs inflows, peaking of tokenized ETFs and futures traders building massive positions indicated bullish sentiment.
