Bitcoin ETFs See Just $5M Inflows Despite Market Rally, Profit-Taking Stalls Momentum

In Brief:

Despite BTC hitting $105,819 after U.S.–China tariff relief news, Bitcoin ETF net inflows reached only $5.2 million—lowest since April 14.

Institutional investors held back as BTC dropped to $102,367, with profit-taking capping gains.

Bitcoin ETFs saw sluggish inflows on Monday, totaling only $5.2 million—marking the lowest single-day total since April 14—despite Bitcoin briefly soaring to $105,819 following the announcement of a 90-day tariff relief agreement between the U.S. and China.

The positive news sparked optimism across global markets, but the resulting crypto rally was short-lived. Bitcoin soon dropped back below the psychological $105,000 threshold, closing at $102,729 as profit-taking took hold. The dip led institutional investors to hesitate, capping ETF demand for the day.

Among ETF issuers, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) posted the highest inflow at $69.41 million, raising its cumulative net inflows to $44.78 billion. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GBTC saw the largest outflow, with $32.92 million leaving the fund.

At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $102,367—down 2% in 24 hours. Despite the retreat, funding rates remain positive, suggesting traders are still anticipating a renewed rally. Data from Coinglass also shows a concentration of liquidation risk near the $105,337 level, hinting at a possible short squeeze if bullish momentum resumes.

Market watchers remain cautious, waiting for Bitcoin to reclaim and hold key resistance levels before making large ETF commitments.
