Spot $BTC exchange-traded funds pulled in $996 million in net inflows last week, the strongest weekly total since early January. The January figure reached approximately $1.4 billion. Last week's performance signals a clear shift in investor appetite toward risk assets, according to data from SoSoValue. #BitcoinETF

Friday was the standout session, with $663.9 million flowing into spot $BTC ETFs in a single day. Tuesday recorded $411.5 million in inflows, followed by $186 million on Wednesday and $26 million on Thursday. Monday began the week with a $291 million outflow before sentiment reversed.

Total net assets across spot $BTC ETFs rose above $101 billion by Friday. Daily trading volumes approached $4.8 billion, reflecting a broad pickup in market participation. The combination of strong inflows and elevated volume points to renewed institutional and retail engagement with the asset class. #Bitcoin #CryptoMarkets

Analysts at Bitunix said markets are increasingly focused on how geopolitical tensions de-escalate, not simply whether they persist. Reduced pressure around U.S.-Iran relations has lowered the likelihood of extreme risk scenarios. That shift has weakened demand for traditional safe havens, including the U.S. dollar.

#TheFederalReserve's cautious stance on rate cuts has added to the pressure on conventional assets. Elevated long-term yields and concerns about U.S. debt demand have further undermined confidence in what are typically considered #low-risk holdings. Bitunix analysts said those dynamics have pushed additional capital toward alternatives like $BTC.

Bitunix described $BTC as being in a "classic liquidity redistribution phase." The analysts said Bitcoin is trading between resistance above $75,000 and support near $72,000. Liquidation data suggests the market is forming a new price range rather than trending in a single direction.
