Institutional Buying, ETF Inflows Revive Bitcoin’s $100,000 Prospects
Bitcoin’s sensitivity to capital flows has made institutional demand and subscriptions to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds key gauges of risk appetite among large investors. The latest rebound has revived attention on whether the cryptocurrency can return to $100,000, a psychologically important threshold for the broader digital-asset market. Its longer-term performance may also indicate whether Bitcoin is gaining a more durable role in global portfolios beyond speculative trading.
Renewed institutional buying and a return of funds to spot Bitcoin ETFs have driven a broad cryptocurrency rebound, restoring expectations that Bitcoin could challenge $100,000. Several Taiwan-based virtual asset service providers said near-term momentum will depend on market liquidity and macroeconomic signals, while the medium- to long-term outlook hinges on regulatory developments and Bitcoin’s place in global asset allocation. The available report did not identify the firms or disclose exact inflow amounts or dates.

The history behind this eventBitcoin's Return to $74,000 Fuels Hopes for Broader Crypto Rebound
Bitcoin had retreated steadily since reaching a record $126,000 in October 2025 and came close to $60,000 at one point in 2026. Buying by US spot Bitcoin ETFs and institutions such as Strategy has therefore become a key indicator of whether market demand can stabilize and whether the bear market may be nearing an end.
On April 14, Bitcoin recovered to $74,000 from a weekend low of $70,500. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $615 million in net inflows last Thursday and Friday, while Strategy spent another $1 billion to buy 13,927 Bitcoin. However, the annualized premium on monthly futures stood at just 2%, below the neutral range of 4% to 8%, leaving the market divided over whether a reversal is underway.
