US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $411.5 million in inflows on Tuesday, marking the second-largest daily inflow day in April so far, according to SoSoValue data.
The fresh inflows pushed total net flows for 2026 into positive territory at roughly $245 million year-to-date, while total assets under management surged above $96.5 billion—the highest since mid-March.
Goldman Sachs enters the bitcoin ETF space
The gains came as Goldman Sachs, once a major bitcoin critic, filed with US securities regulators to launch a Bitcoin-linked ETF.
The move follows Morgan Stanley’s launch of its Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) last Wednesday.
Neither Goldman nor Morgan Stanley are small entrants—their involvement signals a meaningful shift in how Wall Street’s largest institutions view bitcoin exposure.
BlackRock and Morgan Stanley extend streaks
No US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded outflows on Tuesday.
BlackRock’s IBIT led the pack with roughly $214 million in inflows, extending its inflow streak to five consecutive days and totaling around $696 million over that run.
Morgan Stanley’s MSBT also extended its streak to five days, accumulating around $84 million.
The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and Fidelity’s FBTC contributed $113 million and $45 million, respectively.
Altcoin ETFs and broader sentiment
The positive trend spread across all US-listed altcoin ETFs on Tuesday, with spot Ether ETFs recording $53 million in inflows, XRP funds adding $11 million, and Dogecoin ETFs seeing around $187,000—bringing their cumulative inflows to roughly $9.2 million.
Overall sentiment has also ticked up, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rising above a score of 20 this week.
Bitcoin briefly climbed above $75,000 on Tuesday for the first time since March 17, before pulling back below $74,000.
