75% of Bitcoin Inflows From ETFs
CryptoQuant analysts see ETFs as having a huge impact on the asset price adding that 75% of new investment into the market flow toward ETFs.
“We estimate over 75% Of new investments into Bitcoin are coming from these ETFs. Moreover, investments from these ETFs have increased to 2% of the total historical investments in Bitcoin in just one month as measured by the realized market capitalization.”

Spot ETFs Triggers Bitcoin Uptick
Crypto commentators point to the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as the reason for the price surge.
Last year, the market recorded high institutional inflow from the second quarter following BlackRock’s spot ETF application.
This led to a plethora of traditional firms seeking a piece of the leading to more applications and drawing speculations from industry analysts.
Notably, the price of Bitcoin traded below 55% of its value in 2022. This was due to industry collapses and macroeconomic factors before tapping $31,000 in Q2 3023.
BTC notched steady inflows and rose to $43,000 in December. This came on the heels of an imminent approval with analysts predicting huge inflows once ETFs go live.
Weeks after the approval, the price of the asset stands at $52,414. Bitcoin recorded a 15% price growth in the last seven days as the wider market cap soars above $1.9 trillion.
