- U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reversed a five-week trend of capital flight, posting significant net inflows for the week ending Feb. 27.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $787.3 million in weekly net inflows, while Ethereum funds added roughly $80.5 million.
- The momentum continued into Monday, March 2, with Bitcoin ETFs drawing an additional $458.2 million as institutions “bought the dip.”
U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have successfully broken a five-week streak of net outflows, signaling a renewed appetite for digital assets among institutional investors. According to data from SoSoValue and CoinShares, the broader crypto investment product market saw a total of $1 billion in net inflows last week, effectively halting a slump that had drained nearly $3.8 billion from the sector since late January.
The Bitcoin category led the recovery, with U.S. spot ETFs securing $787.3 million in net inflows during the final week of February. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) remained the primary driver of the trend, accounting for over $500 million of the weekly total. This pivot follows a volatile February where price corrections and geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East prompted aggressive de-risking from major allocators.
The positive sentiment extended to Ethereum products, which snapped their own multi-week losing streak by adding $80.46 million. While BlackRock’s ETHA saw mixed results mid-week, the category was bolstered by strong performances from Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and Fidelity’s FETH. On Monday, March 2, the momentum stayed green as Bitcoin ETFs recorded another $458.2 million in inflows, with no individual funds reporting net withdrawals for the day.
Analysts suggest that the reversal is less about a single macroeconomic catalyst and more about institutional investors identifying attractive entry points after Bitcoin fell below key technical support levels. “The positive spot bitcoin ETF inflows mark a turning point as major allocators appear to view current price levels as an attractive entry point amid bitcoin’s recent correction and stabilization,” said Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research.
Despite the recent influx of capital, year-to-date figures remain under pressure. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs are still navigating net outflows for 2026, totaling $408 million and $430 million, respectively. However, the stabilization of flows alongside rising trading volumes—which hit $5.8 billion on Monday—indicates that the “buy the dip” mentality is taking hold as the market monitors ongoing geopolitical developments.
