U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $442 million in inflows on Thursday, marking the fifth consecutive day of positive momentum for the crypto investment vehicles.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the charge, attracting $327.3 million, according to data from SoSoValue.
Ark Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB followed with $97 million in net inflows, while Bitwise’s BITB and Invesco’s BTCO saw $10.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Slow but Signal Rising Institutional Confidence
Although Thursday’s inflows were smaller compared to the $916.9 million and $936.4 million recorded on Wednesday and Tuesday, the consistent streak reflects growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin amid volatile macroeconomic conditions.
Total trading volume across the 12 U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs dipped to $2 billion on Thursday, down from $4 billion the previous day.
The surge in ETF inflows comes as Bitcoin continues to hold firm despite global market uncertainty tied to U.S.-China trade tensions.
On Thursday, major U.S. stock indexes rallied, with the Nasdaq climbing 2.7%, the S&P 500 up 2%, and the Dow gaining 1.2%, as investors reacted to signs of easing tariff disputes.

Calls for $100K Bitcoin Increases
Bitcoin’s surge above $94,000 has sparked renewed enthusiasm among retail traders.
On-chain analytics firm Santiment highlighted a spike in fear of missing out (FOMO) among smaller investors, a behavior often seen near local market tops.
While Santiment acknowledged that Bitcoin could reach $100K soon, they cautioned that such milestones typically occur after market hype subsides.
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

As reported, Prince Filip Karađorđević of Serbia also believes Bitcoin is on the verge of a massive price surge, predicting an imminent “omega candle” rally that could push BTC well beyond $100,000.
In a recent interview, Prince Filip suggested that while certain market forces may currently be suppressing Bitcoin’s price, a breakout is inevitable.
Notably, as of April 23, 87.3% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply is in profit, up from 82.7% when BTC last approached $94,000 in March, according to Glassnode.
This rise suggests renewed accumulation during the recent market dip.
Historically, when over 90% of Bitcoin supply stays in profit, markets often shift into a euphoric phase.
With bullish sentiment growing and technical indicators aligning, Bitcoin is positioned for a potential push toward $100,000.
