U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a significant inflow as it attracted $381.30 million, this is the highest single-day net inflows since January 30, 2025.

This new influx of capital in the ETFs, which occurred on April 21st, 2025, signifies a bullish momentum for Bitcoin (BTC) and also shows that global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) are winning investors’ confidence back.

Additionally, none of the twelve ETFs experienced a net outflow, though some didn’t record an inflow, either.

According to Coinglass, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) contributed $116.1 million which is the largest of the total amount, followed by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with $87.60 million.

At the same time, Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO), CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR), and WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW) had zero inflow respectively.

The recent inflow is the biggest daily inflow for the ETFs since January 30, when the funds saw a combined net inflow of $588.1 million.

A bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), which is a type of ETP, is a financial instrument that tracks Bitcoin’s price and offers investors exposure to the Bitcoin market without necessarily needing to hold Bitcoin itself.

ETFs Struggle Amid Trump’s Trade War

The ETFs have struggled to maintain their previous uptrend since the news of President Donald Trump’s tariff hikes which brought about a trade war in the world.

Consequently, the Bitcoin ETFs followed the downward trend witnessed in the crypto space.

For instance, the BTC ETFs recorded an outflow of $326.3 million on the 8th of April, 2025. Likewise, the three days that followed it, with $127.2 million, $149.5 million, and $1 million outflows noted respectively.

While no inflow or outflow was recorded on the 18th of April, 2025.

Despite the BTC ETFs revival, their Ethereum counterparts (ETH ETFs) are still battling the downturn with little to no inflows, and several outflows being recorded since January.

In fact, the ETH ETFs had $25.4 million outflows recorded on the day Bitcoin ETFs garnered the new biggest inflows.

Bitcoin Price Surges Past $87K Amid Market Instability

Furthermore, on the same day, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a big win; Bitcoin itself surged past $87,000, marking investors’ confidence as the U.S. dollar weakened following a feud between President Trump and America’s Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell.

In addition, the U.S. dollar index dropped to a three-year low, sparking selling pressure across U.S. stock markets which boosted demand for Bitcoin and gold by institutional investors and through Bitcoin ETFs.

Companies like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and Blackrock added more Bitcoin to their reserves.
