The excitement in spot Bitcoin ETFs is linked to the recent increase in the price of BTC, which is up 5% over the past week. On May 21, BTC hit a six-week high of $71,600 before falling below the $70,000 level.
After several weeks of setbacks, this inflow reflects the growing acceptance of Bitcoin in the traditional financial world, with significant involvement from financial institutions.
