Strongest Inflow Since Mid-February

Bitcoin's price traded near $68,780 on Tuesday, supported by a significant influx into U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds attracted $471 million on April 6, marking the strongest daily inflow since February 25 and the sixth-highest total this year. While not yet matching the peak daily inflows above $700 million seen in January, this trend shows continued institutional demand.

ETFs Now Leading Bitcoin Price Discovery

This strong buying comes as Bitcoin has seen soft demand from spot buyers and selling from large holders. ETFs are increasingly offsetting this, providing vital buying support. Bitcoin's relationship with global monetary policy is changing. Analysts now see Bitcoin shifting from reacting to economic news to setting prices ahead of it.

Institutional Demand Looks Ahead

Binance Research highlighted that Bitcoin’s correlation with its Global Easing Breadth Index turned sharply negative in 2024, the same year U.S. spot ETFs launched. Previously, Bitcoin often followed central bank policy changes after a delay. Today, ETF flows seem more proactive, anticipating policy shifts rather than just reacting. This suggests Bitcoin may start pricing in central bank moves before traditional markets, especially with growing blockchain adoption and better data for forecasting.
