Bitcoin ETFs approach $1B in 7-session inflow run

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $69 million in inflows on Wednesday, extending their inflow streak to seven sessions and bringing total inflows during the period to nearly $1 billion

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted about $1 billion in net inflows over seven straight trading sessions.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $68.99 million in net inflows on Wednesday, bringing cumulative inflows since July 14 to $999.38 million, according to data from SoSoValue.

The current streak remains below April’s nine-session run, when spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $2.1 billion in net inflows.

Wednesday’s inflows were below Tuesday’s $203 million as Bitcoin price fell below $66,000. At publishing time, BTC traded at about $65,729, down roughly 0.3% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a market sentiment gauge, slipped to a reading of 31 on Thursday from 33 on Wednesday.

“The consistency suggests institutions are rebuilding long-term Bitcoin exposure through regulated ETFs,” Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO, a decentralized verification protocol, told Cointelegraph. Levin said improving macroeconomic sentiment, expectations for easier monetary policy, cooling inflation and stronger equity markets have encouraged investors to rotate back into risk assets.
