Despite lackluster price action, spot bitcoin ETFs saw over $1 billion in inflows in the first quarter, with expectations of even stronger inflows in the second quarter, possibly reaching $3 billion. Institutional investors are driving this momentum, utilizing basis trades to capitalize on yield without exposure to price movement.

While the basis trade yield has decreased recently, there is still optimism for continued inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs throughout the year. Institutional adoption is still in its early stages, with potential for significant growth as regulatory stance towards the industry becomes more favorable.

Advisors are showing increased interest in crypto ETFs, with 57% planning to boost allocations this year. The perception of bitcoin as a “safe haven” in times of economic uncertainty may drive further confidence and inflows, especially if fears of a recession in the US continue to escalate.
