Despite Sharp Fluctuations in Bitcoin's Price in Recent Days, Institutional Investors Seem to Show a Higher Level of Confidence

Despite sharp fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin in recent days, institutional investors seem to show a higher level of confidence in the largest cryptocurrency

Jakarta, pintu news – Latest data from Arkham Intelligence shows three major Bitcoin ETFs being bought by ETF issuers amid a broader crypto market selloff and a surprise announcement of increased tariffs by former President Donald Trump.

After former President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced a significant increase in import tariffs, the crypto market is showing signs of adjusting to the conditions of the traditional stock market (TradFi) with a downward trend.

However, in stark contrast to the general market conditions, spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US are displaying a resurgence of institutional demand in the short term.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Arkham Intelligence highlighted this phenomenon with a statement:

DONALD TRUMP JUST TARIFFED THE WHOLE WORLD. SO?GRAYSCALE IS BUYING BITCOINFIDELITY IS BUYING BITCOINARK INVEST ALSO INCREASED HOLDINGS AND IS BUYING BITCOIN

“Donald Trump just put tariffs on the whole world. So what? Grayscale bought Bitcoin, Fidelity bought Bitcoin, Ark Invest also increased holdings and is buying Bitcoin.”

As a leading blockchain analysis platform, Arkham's observation is valuable. While Bitcoin's price has shown some stability in the past two days, the asset continues to return to its base price level despite the broader market downturn.

Reporting from BeInCrypto (3/4/25), Bitcoin's long-short ratio last week was at 0.94, and has now risen to 1.00 – indicating that investor positions are starting to balance. Previously, with 48.5% long positions and 51.5% short positions, the market tended to be slightly bearish.

Now, the positions are almost balanced, with 50.5% long, indicating that market sentiment is neutral and bearish pressure is easing.

This balance of long and short positions suggests that investors are becoming more cautious and prefer to wait for clearer market signals before taking a position with a firmer direction.

Interestingly, Bitcoin ETFs are also performing strongly in other sectors. Based on data from SoSo Value, total net inflows into this asset category reached $220 million in just one day yesterday—a very significant figure.

Although Donald Trump's tariff announcement came after the stock market closed on Liberation Day, the ETF's growth remains an impressive highlight.

The direct impact of today's market turmoil on Bitcoin ETFs is not entirely clear. However, data from Arkham Intelligence shows that ETF issuers are making large BTC purchases.

At the very least, this signals that institutions are anticipating a surge in demand in the future. While there are still many unanswered questions regarding tariff policies, crypto market conditions, and the overall global economic situation, this trend is worth noting.

If inflows into ETFs continue throughout this week, it will reflect that institutional investors increasingly believe that Bitcoin will remain more stable and sustainable than traditional financial markets (TradFi) amid growing recessionary concerns.
