Spot Bitcoin ETFs Continue to Attract Capital, Bitcoin Poised to Re-enter the World’s Top Ten Assets

BlockBeats news, on May 16, in April this year, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a cumulative net inflow of approximately $2.135 billion, driving continued institutional investment into the digital asset market. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust has net assets approaching $64 billion, with Strategy holdings reaching 815,061 BTC and a market value of about $64 billion.

As of May 13, the total market value of Bitcoin is approximately $1.611 trillion, up about 13% from April, showing signs of recovery after an 18% pullback in the first quarter.

Analysts believe ETF fund inflows and corporate treasury allocations are reshaping Bitcoin's asset pricing logic, driving its return to the rankings of the global top ten assets by market capitalization. If institutional capital maintains its current pace, Bitcoin could return to the global top ten assets rankings in the second quarter of 2026 (currently ranked thirteenth).
