Institutional investors are sounding the call for capital accumulation once again. As the market anticipates a potential turning point in geopolitical risks, US Bitcoin spot ETFs have become "capital-absorbing beasts," raking in nearly $1 billion in a single week. This not only marks the highest record since mid-January of this year but also represents three consecutive weeks of net inflows. According to SoSoValue statistics, US Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $996.4 million last week, the largest single-week net inflow since the week of January 16. Looking at a longer timeframe, these funds have accumulated over $1.8 billion in inflows over the past three weeks. Last week's inflows were led by BlackRock's IBIT, which is currently the Bitcoin ETF with the largest net asset scale, attracting $906 million in a single week. Additionally, last week was the first full trading week for Morgan Stanley's MSBT after its listing (MSBT was launched on April 8), recording a net inflow of $71 million. Ether spot ETFs also showed strength, with a net inflow of $275.8 million for the week, marking their best performance since January 16. Expectations of Geopolitical De-escalation Boost Institutional Risk Appetite Jeff Mei, COO of the cryptocurrency exchange BTSE, stated: "Institutional investors generally believe that the tensions between the US and Iran are about to see a substantial and permanent cooling, which is why they are significantly increasing their long positions in Bitcoin ETFs." The two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran is set to expire this Wednesday, and both sides are still mediating for peace. However, just as institutions were assessing whether the conflict might end, reports emerged that the US had seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, adding new variables to the situation. US President Trump announced earlier that US negotiators are heading to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, to prepare for potential talks with Iran. However, according to Iranian sources, Iran refuses to return to the negotiating table unless the US lifts its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Under the shadow of seemingly renewed geopolitical tensions, the cryptocurrency market rally took a breather today (the 20th). According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin fluctuated slightly over the past 24 hours, rising 0.1% to $75,146, while Ether fell 0.1% to $2,311. Looking ahead, BTSE COO Jeff Mei observed that while the willingness of retail investors to enter the market is recovering, the key to driving continued upward breakthroughs in coin prices remains in the hands of the Fed. The market needs to see more interest rate cuts. He said: Before the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict, interest rate policy was already the main variable affecting the flow of cryptocurrency funds, and this factor will continue to dominate market sentiment in the medium to long term.
