2 hours ago

Tuesday, March 18 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $199.4 million on Tuesday, extending their streak of positive net inflows to seven straight trading days—marking the longest such streak since October 2025. BlackRock’s IBIT led the charge with $169 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC recorded $24.4 million. Over the past seven trading days, the funds have attracted roughly $1.17 billion, putting them on track for a fourth consecutive week of net inflows. BTC Markets analyst Rachael Lucas noted that institutional confidence is rebounding, fueled by structural, long-term allocation demand—not reactive buying. On the same day, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs also posted net inflows of $138 million, $17.8 million, and $4.6 million, respectively.
