Spot Bitcoin ETFs Mark 8th Consecutive Inflows Amid Iran and Israel Conflict

US Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recently seen substantial inflows, collectively registering $388.3 million on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. The latest inflow marks an eight-day streak of uninterrupted capital attraction.

This notable influx occurred despite initial market apprehension sparked by renewed tensions between Israel and Iran, a scenario that has historically instigated volatility in financial markets.

A large amount of money flowed into two main funds: BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which received $278.9 million, and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which attracted an extra $104.4 million. This information is based on data gathered by Farside Investors.

This steady stream of capital, especially on June 18, suggests that large investors remain confident in Bitcoin as a valuable asset. The crypto data company Santiment stated on X on June 18 that investors’ trust remained strong as Bitcoin held steady around $105,000, largely unaffected by global political issues.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Flash Inflows Amid National Conflicts

Santiment also noticed a clear pattern in how Bitcoin reacts to such global flashpoints. The market’s strength now is very similar to Bitcoin’s behavior during the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the Israel-Palestine conflict in October 2023.

In both past cases, Bitcoin dropped by approximately 7% before stabilizing within a few days. This means it can recover quickly, and that unfavorable price changes resulting from external global events do not last long.

Besides the top performers, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) was the only other product to receive money on June 18, albeit in a smaller amount of $11.3 million.

Moreover, after a somewhat slow start to 2025, the amount of money flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs has increased significantly. Since April 17, these funds have collectively raised a substantial $11.2 billion in new capital. During this time, there were only eight days when more money left than came in. During this period, Bitcoin’s price rose significantly from under $85,000 to approximately $104,950.

Spot Ethereum ETF Stay Consistent

The US Spot Ether (ETH) ETFs had just completed a strong 19-day run of inflows on June 13. However, it quickly recovered, with new funds flowing in for three days straight between June 16 and June 18, including a notable $19.1 million on Wednesday.

BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) has become a key player in this area. Although Farside Investor data indicates that ETHA has seen $5.28 billion leave overall since its inception, it has received money on almost every trading day since May 20 (excluding only two days), and no money has left since May 7.
