Bitcoin ETFs Attract Significant Inflows Amid Market Challenges

The US Bitcoin ETFs received $381 million in inflows, with ARK 21Shares leading at $116 million. Bitcoin remained stable above $80k during Easter, while traditional equities fell. However, the crypto market increased by $800 billion, and new purchases were made by Strategy and Metaplanet. The article underscores the resilient performance of Bitcoin against manufacturing challenges in traditional markets.

US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reported significant inflows of $381 million, predominantly driven by ARK 21Shares, which attracted $116.1 million. During the Easter holiday, Bitcoin traded steadily above $80,000, distinguishing itself by outperforming traditional equities that faced declines of 2.5% and 2.4% on the Dow Jones and Nasdaq, respectively.

The growth in Bitcoin ETF inflows marks the most substantial daily intake since January, when previous data indicated inflows of $588.1 million, largely occurring amidst Bitcoin’s surge to a six-figure peak. With the recent inflow, Bitcoin’s performance has been notably resilient against the backdrop of falling USD and traditional market instability, culminating in a total market presence of $381.4 million on Easter Monday.

According to CoinGlass, the outflows to major Bitcoin ETFs included Fidelity’s products, which received $87.6 million, and BlackRock’s IBIT with $41.6 million, highlighting robust participation in the market despite fluctuating economic policies impacting the USD and broader financial markets.

The cryptocurrency market demonstrated notable strength throughout the Easter holiday, with Bitcoin holding firm above the $80,000 mark while Ethereum saw a 4% decline to $1,581. The Ethereum Foundation transferred 1,000 ETH valued at about $1.58 million to Kraken, creating concerns regarding sell pressure in the Ethereum market.

A notable increase of $800 billion uplifted the entire crypto market valuation to $2.84 trillion, with Shiba Inu reporting an 825% rise in its burn rate, translating to the incineration of 26.48 million tokens. Post-holiday trading returns resulted in S&P 500 suffering a decline, reflecting negative sentiment in traditional markets.

Moreover, Strategy has recently acquired 6,556 Bitcoin for approximately $555.8 million, averaging $84,785 per Bitcoin. In tandem, Japanese firm Metaplanet made a substantial purchase of 330 Bitcoin for around $28.2 million, amplifying their total Bitcoin assets to 4,855 BTC. They target a strategic acquisition increase aiming for 21,000 BTC by 2026, currently valuing their holdings at approximately $414.5 million.
