US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $458.2 million in net inflows on Monday, extending a rebound that began last week even as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to rise.
The Monday figure adds to the $787.3 million in net inflows recorded across the prior week, according to data from SoSoValue. Cumulative net inflows into US spot Bitcoin funds now stand at $55.3 billion. Trading volume reached approximately $5.8 billion — the highest level since early February.
Bitcoin itself rose about 3% on Monday, according to CoinGecko. Analysts attributed the move partly to strong spot buying from US investors, with sentiment holding up despite the backdrop of an expanding regional conflict following strikes on Iran over the weekend.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led all funds with $264 million in inflows. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund followed with roughly $95 million, and Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF added $36 million. The institutional demand was broad, not concentrated in a single product.
Altcoin funds also saw modest gains. Ether funds drew about $39 million in inflows, while Solana and XRP products recorded $17 million and $7 million respectively. Smaller numbers, but directionally consistent with the overall mood.
Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, noted on Monday that Bitcoin had weathered the weekend’s uncertainty without a significant breakdown. “There was downward pressure but we just bounced back up each time,” he wrote on X, adding that market behavior felt different compared to previous months. Analysts at CryptoQuant offered a similar read, observing that short-term holders were not rushing to sell despite the Iran escalation. “The sell-side pressure from recent buyers is fading. Panic is being replaced by patience, or at least exhaustion,” they said.

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck, speaking on CNBC Monday, said Bitcoin is approaching a bottom and is positioned to gradually recover through the year. He pointed to the four-year halving cycle as a continuing structural driver of price behavior.
JPMorgan’s analyst Mislav Matejka also weighed in, suggesting the current geopolitical situation represents a buying opportunity rather than a reason to exit risk assets. He said fundamentals remain positive even as markets prepare for potential volatility.
What stands out here is not the size of any single day’s inflows but the consistency. The market absorbed a genuine geopolitical shock over the weekend and institutional flows continued moving in the same direction they had been heading all week. That kind of resilience doesn’t prove anything definitive about where Bitcoin goes next, but it does say something about the current character of demand — measured, and largely unmoved by noise that would have rattled the same market considerably more a year ago.
