On Thursday, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) welcomed $442 million in inflows, marking the fifth consecutive day of positive growth for these financial products.
Leading the influx was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which attracted a significant $327.3 million, as reported by SoSoValue.
Following closely behind were Ark Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB, with net inflows of $97 million. Bitwise’s BITB and Invesco’s BTCO also contributed with $10.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Slow but Signal Rising Institutional Confidence
Despite Thursday’s inflows being less impressive than the $916.9 million and $936.4 million recorded earlier in the week, the steady increase indicates a growing confidence from institutional investors in Bitcoin, even amid challenging macroeconomic conditions.
Trading volumes across the 12 U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs dropped to $2 billion on Thursday, down from a robust $4 billion the day prior.
The uptick in ETF inflows comes as Bitcoin maintains its position despite global economic uncertainties linked to U.S.-China trade relations.
On the same day, major U.S. stock indexes surged, with the Nasdaq rising by 2.7%, the S&P 500 climbing 2%, and the Dow increasing by 1.2%, as investors responded positively to signs of easing tariff tensions.

Calls for $100K Bitcoin Increases
The rise of Bitcoin above $94,000 has reignited enthusiasm among retail investors.
On-chain analytics platform Santiment noted a marked increase in fear of missing out (FOMO) among smaller traders, a behavior that often indicates approaching market peaks.
While the firm suggested that Bitcoin could soon reach the $100,000 mark, it also warned that such milestones typically follow a period of diminished market excitement.
Following Bitcoin’s surge above $94.2K Wednesday, @santimentfeed data showed that FOMO began pouring in from retail traders. This crowd reaction typically leads to tops. $100K could very likely arrive in the near future, but it typically won’t happen til the emojis calm. https://t.co/KPiUTkyCWw

In related commentary, Prince Filip Karađorđević of Serbia expressed confidence in an imminent surge for Bitcoin, predicting a significant “omega candle” rally that could propel BTC prices well past $100,000.
In a recent dialogue, Prince Filip conveyed that while current market dynamics may be suppressing Bitcoin’s value, an upward breakout appears to be on the horizon.
As of April 23, data from Glassnode indicates that 87.3% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply is currently in profit, a rise from 82.7% during Bitcoin’s last visit to the $94,000 threshold in March.
This uptick suggests renewed accumulation following recent market corrections.
Historically, when more than 90% of Bitcoin’s supply remains profitable, it often signals a transition to a euphoric market phase.
The confluence of bullish sentiment and favorable technical indicators positions Bitcoin for a potential rise towards the coveted $100,000 mark.
