Second Day of BTC ETF Inflows Hints at Confidence Amid Volatility | ETF News
BTC ETFs experienced notable inflows, including BlackRock’s IBIT, signaling institutional optimism. Despite market setbacks, futures traders maintain a bullish outlook.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a second consecutive day of net inflows on Tuesday, bringing in a total of $76.42 million.
This trend marks a notable shift in institutional investor sentiment, considering that last week was marked by persistent outflows as investors pulled capital from the market.

The gradual return of inflows into BTC ETFs suggests renewed confidence in the coin’s long-term prospects, even as its short-term price volatility continues to unsettle the broader market.
On Tuesday, BlackRock’s ETF IBIT recorded the largest daily net inflow, totaling $38.22 million, bringing its total cumulative net inflows to $39.64 billion.
Ark Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB recorded the second-highest net inflow of the day, attracting $13.42 million. The ETF’s total historical net inflows now stand at $2.60 billion.
Bitcoin Price Dips, But Long Bets Persist
The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a noticeable dip in trading activity over the past 24 hours, as reflected in a $40 billion drop in total market capitalization during the period.
In line with this broader market pullback, BTC’s price has declined by 3%, currently trading at $83,341. This price dip has been accompanied by a 5% drop in the coin’s futures open interest, signaling a retreat from leveraged positions.

The decline in BTC’s open interest and price suggests that traders are closing their positions rather than opening new ones. This trend shows a market in retreat, where traders are exiting leveraged trades to avoid further losses or liquidations.
However, not all signals are bearish.
The coin’s funding rate has flipped back into positive territory and is currently at 0.0032% at press time. This signals that many futures traders are still opening long positions and expecting a recovery.

This indicates a bullish sentiment among options traders, as call options are typically used to bet on upward price movement.
