Funds from both institutional and retail investors are flowing into the U.S. market simultaneously, signaling a revival in the cryptocurrency market. More than $1.3 billion has been invested in crypto investment products this week alone, suggesting a renewed appetite for risk assets.
According to investment media outlet FXStreet on March 5 (local time), more than $1.33 billion flowed into crypto-related investment funds this week. Spot crypto ETFs traded in the U.S. led the inflows, indicating that institutional demand is rising again.
Data from CoinGlass shows that U.S. spot crypto ETFs recorded a net inflow of $654.59 million in a single day on the 5th. This marked the third consecutive day of inflows, bringing the cumulative total for the week to over $1.33 billion. Following last week’s inflow of $921.96 million, the data suggests that institutional capital is steadily returning to the market.
Retail investor demand is also showing signs of recovery. The Coinbase Premium Index, which measures the gap between U.S. market prices and the global average, rose to 0.0227%, returning to positive territory for the first time in about two months. This indicates that U.S. retail investors are purchasing Bitcoin even at prices higher than the global average.
The expanding demand has contributed to a rebound in Bitcoin (BTC) prices. Bitcoin is currently trading above $72,000, signaling a recovery from the corrective trend seen in recent weeks. On the same day, the U.S. stock market closed higher, reflecting improved investor sentiment toward risk assets overall.
Political factors are also fueling market expectations. U.S. President Donald Trump stated at a press conference that “the United States must hold a dominant position in the cryptocurrency sector.” He previously emphasized that banks should cooperate with the crypto industry, underscoring the need for the U.S. to secure leadership in the global cryptocurrency market.
