March 3 News: Strong capital inflows have once again appeared in the US spot Bitcoin ETF. The latest data shows that the net daily inflow into the spot Bitcoin ETF is approximately $458 million, with BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF IBIT attracting about $263 million, accounting for most of the total inflow that day. Meanwhile, multiple funds recorded capital inflows simultaneously, and no products experienced net outflows on that day, indicating a clear rebound in institutional willingness to allocate Bitcoin assets.
Data provider SoSoValue reports that this capital return continues recent trends. Previously, in January and February, due to increased market volatility and price corrections, Bitcoin ETFs experienced cumulative outflows of over $1.8 billion. However, last week, market sentiment began to improve, with weekly capital inflows reaching about $787 million, ending five consecutive weeks of outflows.
Nick Ruck, Director of Research at LVRG Research, said that the change in capital flow into spot Bitcoin ETFs may suggest that institutional investors are reassessing the attractiveness of the current price range. After Bitcoin experienced a phase adjustment, some large funds began gradually building positions at lower price levels.
Rachael Lucas, analyst at BTC Markets, pointed out that the market is currently showing clear divergence. The fear and greed index still indicates retail investor sentiment is in the “extreme fear” zone, but institutional investors continue to increase their allocations. She believes this divergence suggests that some long-term capital is positioning itself in anticipation of a potential macro recovery phase.
Lucas also mentioned that the large inflow of funds into IBIT may indicate that major institutions such as pension funds and university endowments are coordinating their purchases. These investors typically adopt long-term asset allocation strategies, so their capital flows are often seen as important market signals.
In addition to Bitcoin ETFs, other mainstream crypto asset ETFs are also experiencing capital inflows. Data shows that Ethereum spot funds saw a net inflow of about $38.7 million on that day, while Solana ETF and XRP ETF attracted approximately $17.4 million and $7 million, respectively.
The timing of the capital return has also attracted attention. Recently, new tensions have emerged in the global geopolitical landscape, with market volatility rising significantly. In this environment, some institutions still view Bitcoin as a potential hedge asset. Andri Fauzan Adziima, Head of Research at Bitrue, stated that institutional investors tend to focus more on long-term structural trends rather than short-term market sentiment, making them more inclined to position during price corrections.
Regarding prices, as of the latest data, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $67,877, up about 2.5% in 24 hours; Ethereum is around $1,993. As ETF capital continues to flow in, whether institutional demand will become a key driver of the next crypto market rally is closely watched by the market.

The New York Times reignites the “Satoshi identity mystery”; after Adam Back was targeted, he quickly clarified
Author: Nancy, PANews
Satoshi Nakamoto’s real identity remains the mystery that has continued for 17 years in the crypto world. Guesses surrounding this pseudonym have never stopped—candidates ranging from cryptographers to company founders have come and gone, yet there has always been a lack of decisive evidence.
Recently, The New York Times published a 10,000-plus-word investigation. Based on multiple comparisons drawn from language style, technical paths, and historical context, it ranked Blockstream CEO Adam Back as the strongest candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto. However, this claim was quickly and explicitly denied by Back himself, and the relevant arguments were widely questioned by the industry as difficult to substantiate.
