IShares Bitcoin Trust Registered’s ETF, IBIT, attracted fresh inflows of $64.46 million on February 23, 2026, defying recent weakness in the underlying cryptocurrency. The move is modest relative to its scale, shifting just 0.13% of its $51.23 billion in assets under management but still signaling selective dip-buying among institutional investors.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $63,187.92 after shedding about 24.27% over the past three months, underscoring the depth of the latest correction. Short-term momentum remains bearish, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, even as ETF buyers appear increasingly willing to look through near-term price volatility.
The divergence between flows into IBIT and Bitcoin’s price performance hints at a maturing investor base that may be using the ETF wrapper to average into long-term positions rather than chase rallies.
