Bitcoin-ETFs verzeichneten im März Zuflüsse in Höhe von 1,3 Milliarden US-Dollar, was den ersten monatlichen Zuwachs im Jahr 2026 darstellt

[라온]

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finished the first quarter of 2026 with net outflows, even after March delivered the category’s first monthly inflows of the year.

Spot Bitcoin
BTCUSD
ETFs recorded $1.32 billion in March inflows, the first monthly gain of 2026 and the first since October 2025, according to SoSoValue.

The inflows were not enough to offset monthly redemptions of $1.61 billion in January and $207 million in February, resulting in roughly $500 million in net outflows in Q1.

The outflows mounted as BTC fell by more than 22% in Q1, its second consecutive quarterly decline after a 23% drop in Q4 2025, according to CoinGlass.

Inflows come despite persistent investor caution

However, March managed to clock inflows to spot Bitcoin ETFs despite persistent investor caution, with negative sentiment prevailing for most of the quarter. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index largely hovered below 20 throughout the month, suggesting “Extreme Fear” in the market.

Analysts pointed to the resilience of crypto investment products amid rising geopolitical tensions linked to the Middle East conflict.

In line with the weak sentiment, monthly trading volumes in spot Bitcoin ETFs eased to about $79 billion in March, compared with $93 billion in February and $87 billion in January.

Cumulative inflows reached roughly $56 billion by the end of the quarter, while total assets under management stood at about $87.5 billion at quarter’s end.

ETFs also saw outflows in March, totaling about $31 million. However, quarterly net flows remained positive at roughly $43 million.

Solana (SOL) ETFs continued to gain momentum over the quarter, with consecutive inflows totaling $213 million. The funds have not recorded a month of outflows since launching in October 2025, as of the end of March 2026.
