US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been gaining momentum amid Bitcoin’s price recovery, showing steady inflows since mid-April.
Spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs logged $335.8 million in inflows on Wednesday, marking the seventh consecutive day of inflows, according to Farside data.
During the inflow streak, the ETFs drew around $1.9 billion in total inflows, surpassing the previous seven-day inflow streak in March, which totaled $1.2 billion.
According to Wallet Pilot data, Bitcoin ETFs hold a combined 1.3 million Bitcoin in assets under management, worth around $103 billion.
The steady inflows to Bitcoin ETFs were accompanied by a rising BTC price, which has surged 11% over the past 30 days. BTC briefly rose above $79,000 on Wednesday, its first time reaching that level since late January, according to CoinGecko.

The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) strongly contributed to the momentum, posting $95 million within the total streak. Notably, the fund itself has not yet seen a single day of outflows, generating $163 million since launch on April 8.
