In a stunning display of resilience, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded a staggering $412.2 million in net inflows on Monday, June 16, 2025, extending an impressive six-day inflow streak that has now amassed over $1.8 billion. This surge, tracked by SoSoValue, pushes the total cumulative inflows to a formidable $46.04 billion, even as the world watches escalating tensions between Iran and Israel unfold.
The Web3 landscape is buzzing with this unexpected bullish momentum, as institutional investors appear undeterred by the geopolitical uncertainty gripping the Middle East. Leading the charge is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which raked in a robust $266.60 million, propelling its assets under management past the $50 billion mark. Fidelity’s FBTC followed closely with $82.96 million, while Grayscale’s GBTC, despite a modest $12.84 million inflow, continues to navigate its $23.23 billion net outflow since inception.
Analysts are marveling at this steadfast appetite for Bitcoin, even as Friday’s Israeli strike on Iran triggered a 7% price dip, ending the week on a cautious note. Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Taiwan-based Kronos Research, told Cointelegraph, “Despite rising tensions, institutions are looking past short-term volatility, focusing on Bitcoin’s long-term positioning as a hedge in a shifting macro environment.” This sentiment echoes across the Web3 community, where Bitcoin’s role as “digital gold” is being tested and, so far, validated.
The inflows rebounded sharply, with $322.60 million flooding in on Friday and the latest $412.2 million on Monday, underscoring a growing confidence. Total net assets across all U.S. Bitcoin ETFs now stand at $132.5 billion, representing 6.13% of Bitcoin’s market cap, with Monday’s trading volume hitting an impressive $3.12 billion. This resilience highlights a pivotal moment for the decentralized finance ecosystem, as traditional finance continues to intertwine with Web3 innovations.
As the Iran-Israel conflict casts a shadow over global markets, the crypto sphere stands firm, with Bitcoin ETFs signaling a bold bet on the future of digital assets.
