On April 21, 2025, US Bitcoin ETFs experienced their largest daily inflows since January, attracting $381.3 million. The ARK 21Shares ETF (ARKB) led this surge with substantial net inflows of $116.1 million. This uptick follows a challenging period for the cryptocurrency, where Bitcoin slid below $75,000 early in April, highlighting renewed institutional interest in the asset class.

Total inflows in US Bitcoin ETFs on this day represent the strongest performance since January 30, during which the funds garnered $588.1 million following Bitcoin’s brief rise past the $100,000 milestone. Other contributors to this growth include the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which received $87.6 million, and Grayscale funds, combining for $69.1 million in inflows, indicating a broader institutional recovery.

Despite a downturn in traditional stock markets—with the S&P 500 declining by 2.4% and Nasdaq by 2.5%—the cryptocurrency sector demonstrated resilience. Over the Easter weekend, the total market capitalisation surged by $800 billion to stabilise at $2.84 trillion, with Bitcoin’s market value alone exceeding $1.75 trillion, the highest since late March.

The Bitcoin price rebounded significantly, surpassing $88,500, marking its highest level in four weeks after hitting a 2025 low of $74,773 preceding the introduction of new tariffs by President Trump. This visualisation of Bitcoin ETFs’ recuperation underscores the strengthening belief in cryptocurrencies as a reliable investment, even amidst global economic challenges and trade tensions.
