Bitcoin ETFs Draw ₱87.34 billion ($1.5 billion) Inflows Despite 50% Crash
Institutional investors are treating Bitcoin's 50% crash from October 2025 highs as a buying opportunity. Data shows 17 of the top 25 largest Bitcoin ETF holders added to their positions, with nearly every major provider bringing in fresh capital despite the market downturn.
Key Takeaway
Institutional holders are buying the Bitcoin dip, not fleeing — a bullish signal for long-term price recovery.
Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted ₱87.34 billion ($1.5 billion) in inflows over the past five days despite Bitcoin crashing 50% from its October 2025 highs.
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas called it the biggest haul in a while, posting on X Tuesday that boomers are coming to the rescue again.
The buying came from institutional players, not panic sellers. Meanwhile data from CEO Zac Townsend shows that 17 of the top 25 largest Bitcoin ETF holders added to their positions since October. ETFs now control ₱6.23 trillion ($107 billion) worth of Bitcoin according to DefiLlama, representing 12% of the network's entire supply.
Nearly every provider brought in funds during the five-day window. ETF Institute co-founder Nate Geraci said ETF investors clearly aren't panicking despite the downturn and Middle East military conflict.
The inflows suggest that institutional money views the drawdown as a buying opportunity rather than a reason to exit. Balchunas has previously highlighted how competitive dynamics in spot Bitcoin ETFs push flows toward large issuers like BlackRock's IBIT, which offers superior liquidity and low fees. All 10 original spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in the US market remain active and collectively hold 12% of Bitcoin's total supply as of March 2026.
