"Bitcoin ETF in U.S. Gains $3 Billion Net Inflow in a Week—Investors Seek Unique Assets"

# U.S. Bitcoin Spot ETFs See Over $3 Billion Net Inflows This Week Strong investor interest has driven over $3 billion (approximately 4.3 trillion KRW) in net inflows into U.S.-based Bitcoin (BTC) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this week, according to market data. On April 26 (local time), Farside Investors reported on X (formerly Twitter) that Bitcoin ETFs saw $3 billion in net inflows over the past week. Just on April 25, inflows hit $380 million, showing significant enthusiasm from both institutional and retail investors. "This week alone saw $3.0 billion of net inflow into Bitcoin ETFs," Farside Investors noted, with a comparative chart of Bitcoin ETF flows attached. # Largest Bitcoin ETF Inflow Since November 2024 On-chain data analytics platform Sosovalue also confirmed the influx, as cited by *The Block*. The $3 billion represents the largest weekly net inflow into Bitcoin-focused ETFs since November 2024, highlighting a surge in institutional demand. Analysts attribute this growing momentum to heightened expectations of future Bitcoin price increases. In a CNBC interview, Jay Jacobs, Head of U.S. Equity ETFs at BlackRock, stated, “With rising global uncertainty, commodities like gold and Bitcoin are expected to maintain strong upward trends.” He emphasized that investors are actively seeking assets with price movements less correlated to traditional asset classes. # Bitcoin Gains Over 10% This Week Amid Market Optimism Bitcoin price-action reflected investor enthusiasm. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin rose by over 10% this week, closing at $93,953—its highest level in months. Market experts cite various factors driving both the inflow into Bitcoin ETFs and the broader upward momentum in BTC prices. These include global economic uncertainties, declining trust in traditional asset classes, and improving investment sentiment toward Bitcoin as a hedge and alternative store of value. As the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization continues to outperform, its role in diversifying amidst a turbulent financial landscape remains strong.
