Despite the recent volatility, the market maintains optimism amidst rising institutional adoption.
SoSoValue data shows that inflows in BTC ETFs continued for straight eight days since March 14, with the biggest inflow day being March 17 at over $274 million inflows.
Yesterday, March 25, the crypto products recorded almost $27 million in inflows.
