Bitcoin ETFs Witness $900M+ Inflows as BTC Becomes Safe-Haven Asset AllinCrypto April 28, 2025
Bitcoin spot ETFs had their strongest days in the last 3 months, with over $900 million in inflows recorded on April 22, 2025.
The inflows arrive at a time when Bitcoin has decoupled from the S&P 500, finally outperforming the traditional index and forging its own path as a potential safe-haven.
Analysts predict Bitcoin could be on track to a similar trajectory as gold in recent weeks, with AXU reaching a new all-time high of $3,500 on April 22.
Bitcoin ETFs reach $900M in inflows in April
Bitcoin’s decoupling from the S&P 500 came as a surprise to some investors after the token seemed to be pegged to the performance of the stock market since February, tracking alongside SPX.
BTC has since decoupled from the S&P, which has gradually regained some footing above lows of $4,982. SPX made a new all-time high of $6,152 during February 2025, which Bitcoin closely correlated with before entering a downtrend.
While the S&P fell dramatically after President Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs, Bitcoin, for the most part, managed to stay afloat above $80k, only dipping below the price point briefly.
Since April 20, Bitcoin seems to have decoupled from the S&P 500 and forged a new path higher, reaching over $94k on April 23rd.
The move has pulled altcoins up, with gains being found in Sui Network, Cardano, Ethereum, and Fartcoin, up 18% over the last 7 days.
Bitcoin ETFs pull institutional players into crypto world
In total, 12 Bitcoin ETFs pulled over $380 million on April 21 before bursting with over $900 million in inflows on April 22.
BlackRock’s IBIT BTC ETF is still at the top of the ETF list with over $40 million in inflows being recorded. The week ending on January 17 saw $1.96 billion inflows, with $1.7B inflows a week afterwards.
Institutional interest is there, and banking groups have been noticing Bitcoin and cryptos climb amid economic uncertainty. Some analysts believe Bitcoin’s decoupling could lead to safe-haven investments from gold being shared between the two.
President Trump is due to greenlight new pro-crypto regulations with the STABLE Act and GENIUS Act for crypto adoption, bringing clear regulations to the US.
Paul Atkins, a pro-crypto advocate, has also been sworn in as the new SEC chair following the resignation of Gary Gensler, taking over from acting chair Mark Uyeda. Investors expect new altcoin ETFs and regulations to be given the go-ahead later this year.
