Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US have now logged their longest streak of inflows since October last year, extending to six consecutive days as Bitcoin climbed over 12% during the same period.

According to data from Farside Investors, Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $199.4 million in net inflows on Monday, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust leading the charge at $139.4 million, followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund at $64.5 million.

Other funds such as the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and Franklin Bitcoin ETF recorded modest inflows of $2.8 million and $2.1 million, while products from VanEck and ARK 21Shares moved in the opposite direction, posting outflows of $6.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Cumulative flows have now reached $962.8 million since March 9, tracking closely with Bitcoin’s move from $65,960 to $74,250 over the same stretch. 

However, the current run remains smaller than the nine-day inflow streak seen between September and October 2025, when Bitcoin ETFs absorbed nearly $6 billion as prices pushed toward a peak of $126,080.

What’s fuelling the comeback?

One of the primary reasons behind the latest resurgence of institutional demand is the digital gold narrative. Analysts have highlighted that Bitcoin has outperformed a number of traditional risk assets and even some commodities, even as geopolitical tensions across the globe have rattled traditional equity markets.

Investors have now started rotating into Bitcoin as the battle-tested geopolitical hedge and a decentralized store of value.

Against this backdrop, concerns over sticky global inflation are adding another layer of bullish sentiment to Bitcoin’s narrative, specifically as a hedge against fiat currency debasement.

Lastly, rumors of a potential de-escalation between the US and Iran are a contributing factor behind Bitcoin’s latest recovery above the $74,000 mark, according to Santiment.
