Bitcoin ETF inflows hit highest level since February

Spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in $471 million on April 6, the 6th-largest inflow of 2026, as prediction markets price little near-term Fed movement. What to know : U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw about $471 million in net inflows on April 6, their strongest daily intake in more than a month, even as bitcoin hovered around $68,780. Robust ETF demand is helping to offset weak spot buying and selling by large holders, effectively anchoring bitcoin’s price below the $70,000 level. New research suggests bitcoin has shifted from lagging to leading global monetary policy, with ETF-driven institutional flows now front-running expected central bank moves rather than reacting to them.
