ChainCatcher reports that despite Bitcoin plunging more than 50% from its October 2025 high, spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen approximately $1.5 billion in net inflows over the past five trading days, with nearly all major issuers experiencing capital inflows. Bloomberg Intelligence ETF expert Eric Balchunas exclaimed, “Even I am impressed,” attributing this buying spree to older “Baby Boomer” investors (born 1946-1964), joking that they are “once again stepping in to save the market.”
Analysts point out that the role of institutional investors should not be overlooked. Data shows that among the top 25 Bitcoin ETF holders, 17 have been steadily increasing their holdings since October last year. Currently, the total holdings of Bitcoin ETFs exceed $107 billion, with institutions controlling approximately 12% of the total supply across the network. Nate Geraci, co-founder of ETF Institute, stated, “ETF investors clearly are not panicking and fleeing.”
