Bitcoin has spent the majority of the past 24 hours on a notable rally that saw it price peak at an intraday high of $94,320. This rally marks an interesting change from the tight consolidation range between $80,000 and $85,000 that had defined Bitcoins trajectory through much of April. Behind this breakout lies a significant uptick in institutional activity through Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded their highest daily inflows since January. Interestingly, this inflow surge has helped push Bitcoin into the top five largest assets globally, surpassing Alphabet, Silver, and Amazon in market capitalization. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Sees Largest Inflows Since January According to data from SoSoValue, US-based Spot Bitcoin ETFs raked in $936.43 million in net inflows on Tuesday, April 22 alone, marking their best single-day performance since January 17 when it registered $1.08 billion. Wednesday, April 23 also witnessed similar performance, registering inflows of $916.91 million.

Furthermore, Spot Bitcoin ETFs are now on four days of consecutive inflows of $100 million or more. The last time such happened was in the last week of January. These inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs follow a weeks-long dry spell in ETF activity, which saw many traders question the sustainability of institutional interest. Nonetheless, the timing of these inflows couldnt be more impactful. Bitcoins price surged in tandem with recent ETF activity, showing the the strong effect these ETFs have come to have on the spot price of Bitcoin. BTC Surpasses Amazon And Google To Become Fifth Largest Asset Worldwide The ETF inflows lit the spark and the resulting market reaction pushed Bitcoins rise up the global rankings. According to data from CompaniesMarketCap, Bitcoins total market value climbed to over $1.87 trillion as it crossed over $94,000 for the first time in eight weeks.

This development positions BTC not only as a leading cryptocurrency but also as a top-tier macroeconomic asset, competing on the global stage with traditional tech and commodity giants. As it stands, Bitcoin is now outperforming the NASDAQ 100, and analysts are pointing to signs of decoupling from traditional indices. Now that Bitcoin is trading above $90,000 again, the next focus is on where it goes from here. The bullish trajectory would be on the $100,000 price level, and whether BTC can break above this level before the end of April. That said, the $94,000 region is now shaping up to act as an early resistance band, and short-term profit-taking could cause pullbacks that might liquidate buy orders.

Bitcoin (BTC) Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are currently in the limelight as the products have seen massive net inflows in the past few days than in the initial weeks of introduction, dominating the market of crypto investment products. Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surges In The Last 4 Days Thomas Fahrer, the co-founder of Bitcoin tracking platform Apollo, took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share the development with the community. Fahrer pointed out that BTC spot ETFs are presently experiencing a “total acceleration” of inflows. Related Reading: Fee Cuts in Bitcoin ETF Battle: Invesco and Galaxy Respond; Render Competitor Attracts Key Investors Fahrer emphasized that Bitcoin ETFs underperformed in the first few weeks compared to the last four days. He noted that BTC had a significant inflow of 42,000 BTC during the first 20 days of trading. Meanwhile, the products in the past 4 days have witnessed an inflow of 43,000 BTC tokens valued at $2.3 billion. This latest surge in inflows suggests renewed adoption of the products from crypto players and investors. Data from Apollo reveals that Grayscale is the leading firm in Assets Under Management (AUM). Registered as Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), the company boasts a whopping $23.7 billion AUM. However, this is a notable drop from $28 billion in assets it had on January 11, after transitioning to an ETF. This is due to the daily net outflows the fund has seen since it was approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Blackrock comes in second after Grayscale, with an asset under management of over $5 billion since it started trading. It is followed by Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) and Ark/21Shares Bitcoin Trust (ARKB), which come in third and fourth place, respectively. Investment firm Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (BITB) is the latest company to reach the billion-dollar milestone. As of the press, the company’s BTC ETF is the fifth largest behind the aforementioned asset management companies. Blackrock Records Its Largest Inflow On Tuesday, Blackrock recorded its largest inflow day ever since Bitcoin ET products were approved. A senior Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, Eric Balchunas, revealed information regarding the update on X. Related Reading: Breaking Down Bitcoin ETFs Early Trading Days; a New Render Challenger Emerges He stated that Blackrock’s BTC ETF was booming on Tuesday, seeing almost “half a billion” inflow. According to the data shared by Balchunas, IBIT made $493 million in revenue during the trading day. IBIT’s previous largest daily net inflow was $386 million, recorded on the second trading day of January 12. Consequently, Blackrock’s Bitcoin ETF overall inflow exceeded the $5 billion mark after the Tuesday event. So far, of all ETFs, Blackrock’s IBIT leads by “7% by size in just 23 days of trading.” These developments came in light of the recent rally around Bitcoin in the past few days, which took BTC’s price above $ 50,000. Many market enthusiasts believe that a major factor in the rally is the reason surrounding the BTC ETF flows. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
