Gate News message, April 24 — Bitcoin spot ETFs are gaining momentum as all flow metrics tracked by Bloomberg turned positive for the first time in months, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas. The cumulative one-day inflows for all 12 spot bitcoin funds reached over $335 million as of Thursday morning, April 23, while monthly flows topped $2.1 billion. Year-to-date flows stand at approximately $1.8 billion.
BlackRock’s IBIT fund, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by valuation, accounted for $246 million of the single-day inflows and $1.9 billion over the past month. Most other funds also recorded positive flows, with the notable exception of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which saw $16 million in one-day outflows and $960 million in year-to-date outflows. Ben Slavin, global head of ETFs at BNY Asset Servicing (which services 80% of the crypto ETF market), confirmed the trend: “Flows have turned positive for the year. That’s modestly so. But they’re in the green, not in the red.”
Spot bitcoin ETF assets under management currently stand at approximately $125 billion, below the all-time high of $162 billion reached in October 2025 when BTC traded above $120,000. March saw significant outflows driven by geopolitical tensions in Iran and inflation concerns. Bitcoin has since recovered from its January lows of $85,000–$95,000 and is trending upward. Slavin noted that crypto ETF investors demonstrate unique resilience during drawdowns, attributing this partly to market stabilization and structural usage in asset allocation models and buy-and-hold strategies rather than tactical trading.
