Bitcoin, Ethereum ETFs End 5-Week Slide as Crypto Funds Add $1B

Published at 2026-03-02 16:45:22

Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds halted a five-week selling streak after crypto funds pulled in roughly $1 billion in new inflows last week, giving both tokens a modest rebound. The move suggests renewed interest from institutional and ETF-driven buyers, helping spot demand recover some ground and alleviating short-term selling pressure that pushed prices lower in recent weeks.

The inflows are a positive sign for market liquidity and investor confidence, but analysts caution it's too early to call a durable bottom. Broader macro forces, interest-rate expectations and regulatory headlines can still reverse flows quickly, so traders will be closely watching next week’s ETF numbers and on-chain metrics to see if momentum holds. For now, the $1 billion week provides tactical relief and a clearer line of sight for investors weighing fresh exposure to BTC and ETH.
