US spot Bitcoin ETFs started the week with strong inflows, even as Middle East tensions increased after the US-Iran war. Data from SoSoValue showed that spot Bitcoin funds recorded about $458.2 million in net inflows on Monday. The move extended last week’s rebound, when the funds posted roughly $787.3 million in net inflows.
The latest session added to a broader recovery in crypto ETF demand after several weeks of weaker flows. The data also pushed cumulative net inflows forUSspot Bitcoin ETFs to about $55.3 billion. Trading activity increased as well, with daily volume rising to nearly $5.8 billion, its highest level since early February.
Among theUSspot Bitcoin ETFs, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the inflow table. Farside data showed that IBIT attracted about $264 million on Monday. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with about $95 million, while Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (BITB) added about $36 million.
Several other funds also posted gains, and reports indicated no outflows across major Bitcoin ETF products that day. That pattern suggested broad participation rather than a one-fund move. Market participants often track this type of distribution closely because it can reflect steady institutional demand across multiple issuers.
The inflows came as Bitcoin rose about 3% on Monday, according to CoinGecko data, and traded near the upper end of its recent range. Some analysts linked the price move to strong spot buying fromUSinvestors. Others pointed to improving risk sentiment after the market absorbed the initial geopolitical shock.

Bitcoin price action drew attention because it stayed relatively stable during a period of elevated geopolitical risk. Samson Mow, chief executive of Jan3, said on X that Bitcoin faced downward pressure over the weekend but rebounded each time. He described the market response as different from previous months.
Analysts at CryptoQuant shared a similar view and said short-term holders had not shown panic behavior yet. They noted that sell-side pressure from recent buyers appeared to fade. That shift suggested traders may have moved from panic selling to a wait-and-see approach.
Options market activity also supported the view that traders treated the event as a short-term shock. QCP Capital said recent liquidations were notable but contained. The firm also noted that one-day implied volatility rose sharply and then pulled back, which indicated temporary hedging rather than expectations of prolonged market stress.
Altcoin ETFs also moved higher, although their gains remained well below Bitcoin fund inflows. Ether ETFs brought in about $39 million, while Solana and XRP products saw roughly $17 million and $7 million, respectively.
Furthermore, the positive flows across Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP products suggested that demand improved across the broader crypto ETF market, not just in one segment. If inflows continue in the coming sessions, it may indicate that some institutional investors are adding exposure during volatility instead of cutting positions.
