US‑listed Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds posted a remarkable $471.32 million surge on April 6—their strongest single‑day inflow since late February—raising cumulative net inflows to $56.43 billion. Not a single fund recorded a loss that day; six posted zero movement while six posted gains, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leading the charge at $181.89 million, followed closely by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) at $147.32 million and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB at $118.76 million. Together these three accounts captured roughly 95 % of the total inflow, with Grayscale’s mini BTC Trust adding $17.59 million, Bitwise’s BITB $3.79 million, and VanEck’s HODL $1.97 million.
The bullish flow contrasted sharply with a deteriorating on‑chain backdrop: CryptoQuant reported that apparent 30‑day demand slipped to about –87,600 BTC by April 5. Analyst Darkfost warned that “the dynamic continues to deteriorate, even though Bitcoin is still confined to its current range; without improvement, a breakout seems unlikely.” Adding to the narrative, wallets holding 1,000–10,000 BTC turned net distributors, and one‑year holdings swung from a peak of roughly +200,000 BTC to about –188,000 BTC, marking one of the most aggressive distribution cycles on record.
Spot‑Ethereum ETFs also attracted renewed attention, pulling in $120.24 million on April 6—the highest single‑day total since March 17’s $138.25 million—after two consecutive sessions of outflows. The inflows underscore a brief but notable reversal in market sentiment toward ETH‑based products.
