Bitcoin and Ether ETFs see $2.6 billion weekly inflow
US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs recorded a massive surge in capital, with combined net inflows reaching approximately $2.6 billion in a single week. This represents the strongest weekly performance for these investment vehicles since October 2025, marking a significant reversal from the previous week's $392 million outflow.
Bitcoin ETFs led the recovery, attracting roughly $1.9 billion in net inflows, while Ether ETFs saw approximately $697 million. This influx coincided with a substantial rally in cryptocurrency prices, with Bitcoin climbing approximately 25% and briefly touching $79,461. The market momentum was further amplified by a major short squeeze, with an estimated $4 billion in bearish positions being liquidated.
Macroeconomic factors also played a role in the rally. The US Treasury's announcement to increase bond buyback operations to at least $4 billion per operation helped lower long-term Treasury yields, improving investor appetite for risk assets. Additionally, regulatory developments and shifting sentiment regarding digital assets as a hedge against fiat currency debasement have contributed to the renewed institutional interest.
