BlackRock Drives $191M Bitcoin ETF Inflow as Shorts Bet on Pullback

BlackRock Leads $191M Bitcoin ETF Inflow

On Thursday, U.S. crypto ETFs posted broad inflows, led by $190.65 million flowing into Bitcoin funds. The momentum continues as BlackRock remains the dominant force behind the sector's recent volume spike, drawing institutional capital that previously trickled in smaller batches.

Short Sellers Target Potential Pullback

While longs accumulate, short positions are accumulating as traders anticipate a pullback in Bitcoin prices. The sustained institutional demand has created a rare alignment between buy-side strength and bearish hedging activity, signaling sophisticated positioning ahead of possible correction.

Broader Crypto Sector Moves

Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and HYPE products also attracted capital during the session, reflecting diversified investor appetite beyond Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Zcash ETFs held steady for a second straight session, showing limited volatility despite the overall ETF rally.

Six-Day Streak for Bitcoin ETFs

Bitcoin ETF buying hit its sixth straight day of inflows, underscoring growing institutional confidence. This extended streak follows months of regulatory uncertainty and fluctuating spot prices, suggesting ETFs may become a reliable vehicle for institutional exposure.
