Bitcoin ETF Inflows: Institutions Are All In, Even as BTC Dips to $116K

by

Key points:

  • Institutional buyers are shrugging off Bitcoin’s recent dip and scooping up almost 11,000 BTC in just two days. No biggie, right? 💸

  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs are not crying over this latest market retracement, unlike their past emotional reactions. 😎

  • New forecasts predict Bitcoin could soar to $135,000 in six months, all thanks to these ETF buyers doing their thing. 🚀

Bitcoin (BTC) was basically a “buy” signal for institutions when the price dipped below $116,000 on Tuesday. 💁‍♀️

According to data from Glassnode (they know stuff, trust them), while BTC/USD took a little tumble, institutional investors jumped in like it was Black Friday. 💥

Institutions “didn’t flinch” as Bitcoin fell by $7,000 😬

Looks like institutional investors are learning to be as calm as a cucumber when Bitcoin throws a tantrum.

Glassnode’s numbers show that inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs stayed strong even after BTC lost more than $7,000 in a hot minute. Like, really strong. 💪

“Monday saw one of the largest daily inflows to US spot Bitcoin ETFs in the past 3 months (+7.5K BTC),” they tweeted on Wednesday.

“But wait, it gets better—Tuesday’s move was the real kicker: they didn’t flinch. They doubled down, adding another +3.4K BTC. Outflows? Almost nonexistent.”

This is a total shift from the old days, when price corrections would send ETFs running for the hills. Like, get me out of here! 😱

Take February, for example. When BTC dipped from near $100,000 to $75,000, net outflows reached $3.2 billion. Yes, billion with a B. That was the drama-filled rollercoaster ride of 2025.

Bitcoin’s Price Might Just Hit $135K Thanks to These ETFs 🙌

But here’s the thing: With all this buying power, the future’s looking sunny for Bitcoin’s price, and the forecast is… $135,000. 🤩

Network economist Timothy Peterson crunched the numbers (because, you know, smart people do that) and concluded that US Bitcoin ETFs are buying BTC faster than the protocol can keep up. It’s like a race, but Bitcoin’s on the losing side. 🏃‍♂️

“Bitcoin’s digital scarcity limits supply production to a fixed amount, which is halved every 4 years. A net -343,000 Bitcoin deficit has resulted from US Bitcoin ETF acquisitions, representing about $40 billion in today’s value.”

According to Peterson’s magical math, if the demand keeps up and no one suddenly floods the market with BTC (hello, miners), we could see a rise of $18,000 by the end of the year. 🎉

And in six months? He’s predicting a cozy $130,000 to $135,000. Not too shabby, right? 💰
