US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew $411.5 million in inflows on Tuesday, the second-largest daily inflow so far in April, according to SoSoValue. The inflows pushed 2026 net flows into positive territory at about $245 million year-to-date, and total assets under management topped $96.5 billion, the highest level since mid-March.
The surge coincided with Goldman Sachs filing with U.S. securities regulators to launch a Bitcoin-linked ETF — a notable move from a firm that has previously been critical of Bitcoin — coming shortly after Morgan Stanley launched its Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) last Wednesday.
No U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF recorded outflows on Tuesday. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) led inflows at roughly $214 million, per Farside data. IBIT and Morgan Stanley’s MSBT each extended their inflow streaks to five days, totaling about $696 million and $84 million, respectively. ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) added about $113 million and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) about $45 million.
The positive flow trend extended across U.S.-listed altcoin ETFs. Spot Ether ETFs recorded roughly $53 million in inflows. XRP funds saw about $11 million, Solana just over $1 million, and Dogecoin ETFs around $187,000 on the day, bringing cumulative DOGE ETF inflows to about $9.2 million.
Market sentiment has shown slight improvement recently: the Crypto Fear & Greed Index climbed above 20 this week. Bitcoin’s price also hit a multi-week high on Tuesday, briefly rising above $75,000 for the first time since March 17 before pulling back; it was trading around $73,852 at the time of publication, per CoinGecko.
While inflows and heightened interest from major banks have boosted ETFs and prices, whether the rebound will be sustained remains uncertain. Cointelegraph notes it produces independent reporting and encourages readers to verify information against primary sources.
