Crypto ETFs Hit Record Inflows Amid Volatility

[Rhaes]

Crypto’s narrative took a sharp twist this week and not just in market panic, but in capital flows. Global crypto ETFs pulled in a record $5.95 billion in net inflows, with the US alone contributing $5 billion. 

This influx arrives as markets reeling from the biggest leveraged liquidation event ever over $19 billion wiped in hours. 

On-chain data points toward orchestration, not chaos. Analysts link the flash crash to a coordinated $60M sell order triggering cascading auto liquidations and benefiting a few whale actors. The volatility was brutal, but the capital injection via ETFs suggests a return of institutional conviction.

We’re now at a pivot: will on-chain metrics confirm accumulation, or will ETF flows be front-loaded hype? The next chapter depends on whether the data can back sentiment.
