Bitcoin nears $72,842 as $461.9M spot ETF inflows contrast with cautious institutional demand
On 4 March, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of about $461.9 million, led by $306.6 million into BlackRock's IBIT product, while Bitcoin traded near $72,842 after recently dipping toward $63,000. Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs also logged smaller inflows, but on-chain data indicates institutions are still tentative, suggesting a slow re-accumulation phase rather than an aggressive new bull leg.
