iShares Bitcoin Trust Leads Inflows Amid Market Optimism
The iShares Bitcoin Trust from BlackRock secured the top position among U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on Tuesday by attracting $216 million in inflows. This figure came despite most other ETF products witnessing limited or negative flows.
Grayscale’s GBTC continued its trend of outflows, with $69.9 million exiting the fund, marking another day in its post-conversion decline, as per the data from Farside Investors. In the last 20 days nine spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net positive inflows while only one did not.
Since the start of 2025, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted more than $39 billion in cumulative investments. The steady capital flows demonstrate reinforced institutional confidence while the larger market assesses ongoing volatility and regulatory issues.
Bitcoin Maintains Upward Momentum Near $95K
Bitcoin maintained its $95,000 price level throughout Tuesday’s trading session because of favorable macroeconomic indicators that improved investor mood. Market experts determined that the Federal Reserve intends to maintain current interest rates which has eased inflation concerns and strengthened investor confidence in the markets.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin keeps its bullish momentum striving toward the $96,000 resistance level.
Data shows that Bitcoin’s Realized Capitalization climbed to a record high of $882.2 billion on Tuesday. This metric highlights the total capital invested in the asset at acquisition cost. Such growth in realized capitalization is often associated with the early stages of broader price expansion.
Additionally, Bitcoin is now trading nearly 50% higher year-to-date, adding weight to forecasts of a sustained rally. Some analysts have even pointed to $106,000 as a potential target if Bitcoin breaches its current resistance levels.
Institutional Activity Expands with Major Venture Launch
Institutional participation received a further boost with the announcement of a $3.6 billion crypto venture by Cantor Fitzgerald. The venture, named Twenty One Capital, is backed by SoftBank, Tether, and Bitfinex. It is set to launch with over 42,000 bitcoins, which would make it the third-largest Bitcoin treasury globally.
BlackRock’s ETF remained a popular choice for investors as it pulled in almost $1 billion each week. Financial experts forecast that U.S. Bitcoin ETF inflows will surpass $50 billion before 2025 concludes. The developments suggest continued appetite from institutional players as the digital asset sector matures.
