ProShares Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ticker BITI, attracted $5.23 million in new money on March 25, 2026, signaling renewed demand for downside protection in crypto. The single-day intake represents roughly 3.28% of the fund’s $159.39 million in assets under management, a sizable vote of confidence in bearish positioning.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $69,522.99 after sliding 18.32% over the past three months, a correction that has not yet shaken investors’ appetite for leveraged short exposure. Despite the medium-term pullback, the coin’s 1-day technical signal stands at Buy, underscoring the tug-of-war between tactical bulls and structural bears.
The combination of strong inflows into a short vehicle and a near-term buy signal on spot prices highlights a market split between traders expecting a relief rally and those bracing for further declines.
