The bitcoin-based exchange traded fund market is once again attracting investor attention, showing strong growth in fund inflows. Fidelity and ARK Invest have made $40 million in joint Bitcoin purchases, underscoring the increased interest of institutional players in the asset.
After a period of outflows, the situation in the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market has changed dramatically. Between Jan. 13 and Feb. 5, 2025, net inflows into these funds totaled $4.4 billion, far surpassing the same period last year's $1.6 billion. This surge in interest underscores institutional investors' confidence in the cryptocurrency market and its prospects.
According to Arkham Alert, major players continue to increase their investments in Bitcoin. Thus, according to unconfirmed reports, BlackRock, one of the largest ETF issuers, is also making large purchases, although the exact amounts remain unknown.
Notably, the active participation of institutional investors is traditionally seen as a signal of possible further growth in the value of the cryptocurrency. Large-scale investments of large funds create a positive momentum, stimulating demand and strengthening the position of bitcoin as an investment asset.
The renewed activity of large BTC holders has also become an important factor in supporting the market. Data shows that in March, whale investors purchased more than 200,000 BTC, indicating a strategic accumulation of the asset amid a favorable mood of market participants.
At the time of this article's writing, bitcoin is worth $83,766, showing an increase of 1.46% for the day and 1% for the week, according to Coin Market Cap data. At the same time, analysts note that long-term forecasts remain positive - in particular, a target of $126,000 by June 2025 was previously announced.
