US Bitcoin ETFs See Largest Inflows of $381.1M Amid Market Recovery

United States Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw their largest inflows on April 21, 2025, as the crypto market showed strong signs of recovery. According to a report by data analytics platform CoinGlass, the 11 Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net joint inflow of approximately $381.1 million. This is the largest day of inflows the EFTs have reported since January 30, 2025.

ARK 21Shares Leads The Way 

As the biggest inflow for April,  ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) recorded a $116.1 million inflow in a single day. Following the report, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) saw the second-largest daily inflow, attracting a remarkable $87.6 million. 

Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and its Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) also collectively recorded net inflows totaling $69.1 million. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) raked in $41.6 million in inflows—about half of what it saw before the April 17 weekend break. Despite the dip, it remains the largest Bitcoin ETF.

Investor appetite for Bitcoin ETFs has waned in recent weeks, coinciding with heightened geopolitical uncertainty stemming from U.S. President Donald Trump’s broad tariff measures. Earlier this month, Trump announced a 90-day halt on tariffs, excluding China. The move prompted a sharp rebound across stocks and crypto assets, as traders—fueled by heightened Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)—poured back into the markets.

According to data from CoinGecko, the largest crypto asset, BTC, fell below the $100,000 price mark in early February. The asset hit a low of over $74,500 in April, shortly after tariffs were imposed globally, leading to a broader market downturn.

Meanwhile, as of the time of writing, BTC was changing hands at over $88,400, which shows a strong sign of recovery from its fall. Its over $1.7 trillion market capitalization positions crypto as the leading digital asset.  

Big Firms Continue Buying Spree

Analysts suggest that with increased transaction volumes and bullish sentiment marked by bitcoin ETF inflows, bitcoin is poised to hit a new all-time high by mid-2025. Despite its volatile nature and recent drawbacks, firms like Strategy see it as an opportunity to buy big. 

Recently, business intelligence firm Strategy increased its BTC portfolio. The largest BTC corporate holder acquired 6,556 bitcoins worth approximately $555.8 million. Following the firm’s latest purchase, Strategy now holds 538,200 BTC, valued at $36.47 billion. The company noted that it has achieved a BTC yield of 12.1% since the year began.  

Similarly, publicly traded Japanese investment company Metaplanet also acquired some of the crypto asset. The firm acquired an additional 330 BTC worth $28.2 million and now holds 4855 BTC ($414.5 million).
