US-listed spot Bitcoin<\/a> exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their largest single-day capital inflow since January on April 17, as the reopening of a critical Middle Eastern shipping route sparked a broader market rotation into risk assets.<\/p>\n

According to SoSoValue data<\/a>, the 12 products drew approximately $664 million in fresh capital on April 17.<\/p>\n

The surge was catalyzed by an announcement from Iran\u2019s foreign minister that the Strait of Hormuz had reopened<\/a> to commercial shipping for the duration of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

The development, subsequently confirmed by US President Donald Trump, alleviated immediate fears of global energy supply disruptions.<\/p>\n

This macroeconomic relief triggered a massive daily allocation into spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)<\/a> led the pack, absorbing $284 million on Friday alone. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with $163.4 million, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) took in $117.9 million.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley\u2019s newly launched MSBT fund<\/a> also captured $16.6 million during the session, demonstrating early traction for the wealth management giant's bespoke offering.<\/p>\n

Caution remains<\/h2>\n

Despite the robust headline figures, market analysts remain cautious about the structural integrity of Bitcoin's current rally. <\/a><\/p>\n

Ecoinometrics, a digital asset analytics platform, noted<\/a> that while recent flows indicate active market participation, they lack the compounding momentum indicative of a sustained breakout.<\/p>\n

According to the firm, the market's current environment<\/a> can be described as “participation without urgency” because the industry is still seeing chunks of outflows.<\/p>\n

It explained:<\/p>\n

“The daily data is inconsistent. Inflows are interspersed with outflows, and more importantly, we haven\u2019t seen any of the large single-day inflows that typically mark a strong wave of demand. When a rally is backed by conviction, flows will cluster and build momentum. That has not happened yet.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Considering this, Ecoinometrics concluded that Bitcoin is currently priced exactly in line with its baseline flow levels, with no sign of demand pushing the market beyond that metric.<\/p>\n

Unless capital injections accelerate meaningfully and build consistent momentum, analysts warned that any attempt by Bitcoin to sustain a move higher will remain fragile.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin ETFs register strongest weekly inflow since January<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, the concentrated surge on April 17 marked the asset class's strongest weekly performance since January.<\/p>\n

Supported by the late-week rally, the suite of US ETFs drew in $996 million in total net inflows over the five-day period. Notably, this is the highest weekly intake since the roughly $1.4 billion recorded in early January.<\/p>\n

The massive haul effectively salvaged what had begun as a volatile trading week.<\/p>\n

The period opened with a $291 million outflow on Monday before momentum shifted, resulting in gains of $411.5 million on Tuesday and $186 million on Wednesday, followed by a modest $26 million on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this marked the third consecutive week of inflow for the products. During this period, the funds have drawn around $1.7 billion in fresh capital.<\/p>\n

As of press time, the total net assets across spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> stood at over $101 billion, pushing cumulative net inflows to $57 billion since inception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
