BlackRock\u2019s IBIT led, attracting $263.19m. Seven other products, including ETFs from Fidelity and Grayscale, also finished in the black.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In January and February, clients pulled more than $1.8bn from bitcoin ETFs. Last week the trend reversed \u2014 $787m flowed into the funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s numbers suggest interest is returning. BTC Markets analyst Rachel Lucas pointed out<\/a> a split in market sentiment. Large capital is building positions, anticipating a global economic recovery, while smaller investors are feeling \u201cextreme fear\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Lucas\u2019s view, BlackRock\u2019s lead points to coordinated moves by pension funds and asset managers. Institutions are using cryptocurrency to diversify risk amid macroeconomic instability<\/a>, buying the dip rather than waiting for perfect market conditions.<\/p>\n

Altcoin-based investment products also supported the positive trend. Spot Ethereum ETFs took in $38.69m over the day.<\/p>\n

The crypto market responded<\/a> with gains. At the time of writing, bitcoin traded at $67,314 (+2% over 24 hours), and Ethereum at $1966 (+1.3%).<\/p>\n

Downside risks remain<\/h2>\n

According to Wintermute analysts, despite the local rebound, the crypto market remains fragile due to rising energy prices and structural changes in the global economy.<\/p>\n
