Bitcoin ETFs have seen performance absent since around the time that BTC/USD hit all-time highs of $73,800.


As Santiment reveals, this week saw the seven largest U.S. spot ETFs manage $5.65 billion in volume between them — the highest since March 24.


“Gone are the days of whales only accumulating onchain,’ Santiment wrote in comments, describing volume as “picking up major steam.”


Reacting, hedge fund manager Thomas Kralow was equally bullish.

The spot ETFs have enjoyed a return to form as May continues, with inflows positive every day this week as of May 17.


Even the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), previously known for considerable outflows, saw modest interest which totaled $27 million and $4.6 million for May 16 and 17, respectively, per data from sources including United Kingdom investment firm Farside.Bitcoin ETF flows (screenshot).

In its latest update sent to Telegram channel subscribers, QCP highlighted “genuine institutional and sovereign adoption,” as well as Bitcoin now exiting its halving period.


“We had multiple sharp v-shape recoveries whenever Bitcoin dipped under 60k, which clearly makes it a buy-the-dip zone,” it summarized.
