US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post $517.2M Largest Single-Day Inflow Since May

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $517.2 million in net inflows on Wednesday, the largest single-day capture for the Bitcoin fund cohort since May 4 and the third straight session of inflows for the week-to-date. Exchange data confirms the Wednesday print lifted this week’s net total past $1 billion, marking the strongest weekly accumulation since the period ended Jan. 16, when the funds took in roughly $1.42 billion. The move extended August inflows to $1.47 billion and arrived as Bitcoin traded near $72,000. A corresponding $189.2 million flowed into spot Ether ETFs on the same day, pushing their weekly tally to about $291.5 million.

The inflows surfaced as crypto markets rallied in tandem with a US Treasury decision to broaden buybacks of longer-dated government debt, a step that pushed yields and the dollar lower while gold and silver outperformed equities. The regulatory backdrop added to the bid after President Donald Trump urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act during a White House event. Analysts read the session as a currency-driven rather than growth-driven move, with Bitcoin moving alongside precious metals in what market participants describe as a working debasement trade. The $517.2 million print marks a return of institutional demand after weeks of comparatively subdued flows.

COINOTAG’s proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine rates the immediate $72,578 resistance at 77/100, driven by the confluence of the Fibo 0.618 retracement, Donchian upper channel and high-volume node, with spot last at $71,712. The $70,005 support holds a 63/100 score on a mix of high-volume node, VWAP, ATR lower and Fibo 0.500. Funding remains tame at 0.0046% perp, open interest sits at $14.40 billion and the long/short account ratio of 1.11 shows mild directional length. With RSI at 78.49 and the Fear & Greed Index at 62, momentum favors the bulls, though a daily close below $70,005 would invalidate the breakout thesis. The directional run now spans three consecutive sessions, pushing this week’s cumulative ETF inflows above $1 billion.
