Bitcoin ETFs Surge, Stablecoins Top $205 Billion

The supply of stablecoins has reached a new milestone of $205 billion, while Bitcoin ETFs have seen inflows of $200 million, indicating sustained investor interest in digital assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) prices have been trading within a range of $90,000 to $105,000 since early December, despite concerns over potential tariff threats from President Donald Trump and favorable regulatory developments within the United States. The broader crypto market has remained relatively flat week-over-week, but new investments continue to flow into the digital asset space.

Crypto investment products attracted $1.3 billion in inflows over the past week, with Bitcoin-focused ETFs experiencing net inflows of $200 million. The stablecoin market also demonstrated robust growth, with the total supply reaching $205 billion, driven by the minting of $5 billion worth of stablecoins over the last week.

The increasing supply of stablecoins suggests a growing use of these digital assets, which often serve as a bridge between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market. Data on BTC funding rates, which measure the cost to fund long positions in the perpetual futures market, indicated a rate of just 6%, signaling a modest demand for leverage among crypto traders and a cautious approach to market engagement.

The continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and the expansion of the stablecoin supply point to sustained investor interest in digital assets, even as the market displays a measured response to external economic factors and regulatory changes.
