Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit $412M Despite Geopolitical Tensions

US spot Bitcoin exchangeโ€‘traded funds (ETFs) recorded $412.2 million in net inflows on Monday, extending their streak to six days and pushing total cumulative inflows to $46.04 billion.

The six-day run of inflows began on June 9 and has now absorbed over $1.8 billion in capital, according to data from SoSoValue. The run has continued despite escalating geopolitical tensions, including renewed conflict between Iran and Israel.

Daily contributions included $386.27 million on June 9, followed by a $431.12 million surge on June 10. Despite a slight dip mid-week, inflows rebounded sharply with $322.60 million on Friday and the most recent $412.2 million on Monday.

Total net assets across all US Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs have reached $132.5 billion, representing 6.13% of Bitcoinโ€™s total market cap. Trading volume remained strong as well, with $3.12 billion in value exchanged on Monday alone.

BlackRockโ€™s IBIT leads the charge

BlackRockโ€™s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the charge, which recorded a $266.60 million net inflow on Monday and has now accumulated $50.03 billion.

โ€œDespite rising tensions between Israel and Iran, institutions are looking past short-term volatility and focusing on long-term positioning,โ€ย Vincent Liu, chief investment officer of the Taiwan-based company Kronos Research, told Cointelegraph, adding:

โ€œSteady Bitcoin ETF inflows reflect growing trust in BTCโ€™s resilience, accessibility, and role as a hedge in a shifting macro environment.โ€

Bitcoin dips, but market structure holds

The unexpected Israeli strike on Iran on Friday triggered a market sell-off, pulling Bitcoin down over 7% and ending the week in negative territory.

Under the hood, metrics showed signs of capitulation, Bitfinex analysts said in a Monday report. They noted that Net Taker Volume hit a multi-week low at $197 million, indicating aggressive selling.

โ€œThis selling, however, combined with a spike in liquidations, resembles past capitulation-style setups that often mark local bottoms,โ€ the analysts said.

They added that if Bitcoin manages to hold the $102,000โ€“$103,000 zone, it may suggest that selling pressure is being absorbed and that the market could be primed for recovery.
