United States: Bitcoin ETFs See Record Inflow Over 5 Weeks
Bitcoin stabilizes above 100,000 dollars, trading recently around 103,000 dollars. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs listed in the United States are showing impressive momentum. Recent inflow statistics have reignited investor interest. Indeed, the price movement of BTC now appears to be closely correlated with these financial instruments. This synchronicity is no longer a coincidence: it is a market signal.
In Brief
- Bitcoin ETFs attracted 603 million dollars during the week of May 13 to 17.
- On May 16, no funds experienced outflows, a sign of a confident institutional market.
- BlackRock, Fidelity, and Ark recorded the largest purchase volumes over this 5-day period.
- The price of bitcoin remains stable despite these flows, moving within a technical consolidation zone.
Rollercoaster since January… but an upward institutional slope
Since their launch in January 2023, Bitcoin ETFs have experienced a zigzag progression. After a mixed start, the market is now witnessing a fifth consecutive week of positive inflows. The last week, in particular, left an impression with over 603 million dollars injected.
On Friday, May 16, the figures were unequivocal: 260 million $ flowed in a single day. Notably, no ETF recorded outflows that day. These performances confirm increasing institutional mobilization.
Key figures:
- 130 M$ captured by IBIT (BlackRock);
- 67.95 M$ for FBTC (Fidelity);
- 57.98 M$ for ARKB (Ark & 21Shares);
- 4.61 M$ for Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust;
- 603 M$ in one week, but a slowdown after the 3 billion in April.
Despite this apparent strength, the pace is slowing. The last week of April crossed the billion-dollar mark, compared to only 600 million recently. Yet institutional support remains massive, structured, and strategic.
Bitcoin: a stable price… but underlying tension signals
The BTC price remains calm, but this calm hides a strategic accumulation. Bitcoin oscillates within a narrow range, around 103,362 $. On the surface, everything seems frozen. In reality, ETF data strongly influence price expectations.
A massive rejection at 105,900 $. The crucial support for bitcoin is now at 103,400 $ and 101,300 $.
In other words, the market remains technically tense. A 5% drop or a 13% rise are possible depending on the direction taken. Rekt Capital, for his part, warns: “2025 will be the year of the peak of bitcoin’s bull market.”
Thus, even in the absence of immediate volatility, bullish fundamentals are accumulating.
Meanwhile, ETF flows reveal ongoing institutional consolidation. Data shows ETFs have experienced only one negative day out of five, a clear sign of resilience despite general caution.
While prices stagnate, whales accumulate between 93,000 and 95,000 dollars. Why? Because on-chain data indicates real, spot demand, far from derivative products. Coinbase recorded buying pressure, Binance reduced its sales. This precise signal drives large holders to buy massively. It is a disciplined buy-the-dip strategy that could well foreshadow the next bullish cycle.
