Amid rising tensions in the Iran-Israel conflict, Bitcoin ETF inflows have surged alongside a spike in Gold prices. On Wednesday, net inflows into BTC ETFs reached $386 million, nearly double the previous day’s figure, signaling increasing institutional confidence. These inflows came after Jerome Powell’s FOMC meeting, which maintained unchanged interest rates, as the crypto market adopts a cautious stance amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.
Inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs surged all the way to $388 million across all the US ETF issuers on Wednesday. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) once again led the pack with $280 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC managed to recover the lost ground with over $100 million in inflows. BlackRock’s IBIT purchased an additional 2861 Bitcoins yesterday, taking its total BTC holdings to 680,336, as per the official IBIT data.
The US Bitcoin ETFs have witnessed strong inflows for eight consecutive trading sessions. Since the beginning of 2025, these products have netted a total of $11.25 billion in net inflows, showing strong institutional demand.
Geopolitical tensions are on the rise amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, with superpowers like US and UK hinting that they are willing to join the war. As per the latest Bloomberg report, senior officials in the US are preparing for a strike on Iran. This comes as Trump denied any peace talks with Iran in the ongoing conflict earlier this week.
Some of the sources told Bloomberg that Washington officials are assembling the infrastructure in order to engage in a direct conflict with Tehran. According to The Times, Britain is weighing the possibility of joining a conflict against Iran if the United States intervenes alongside Israel.
Ahead of the FOMC meeting, Bitcoin price faced selling pressure and is currently holding support at $104K. As the geopolitical conflict escalates, investors take a wait-and-see approach.
