Bitcoin reclaimed the $76,000 level on April 14, 2026, following a $411.41 million net inflow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. The surge was led by the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which absorbing $285 million in fresh capital. Total net assets across the spot Bitcoin ETF category have reached $94.09 billion.
This volume of daily institutional inflows now surpasses the amount of new Bitcoin created post-halving. The result is a structural supply squeeze. The market is no longer reacting to geopolitical shocks as it once did, but is instead defined by persistent, large-scale fiat-to-digital conversion.
Bitcoin is trading at approximately $74,713.25, while price momentum has risen 51.7% and surpassed prior high bands. Futures open interest has risen 7.2%, though long-side funding payments have declined 198.6%, signaling a preference for short positioning or hedging. On-chain activity has cooled, with a decline in daily active addresses and entity-adjusted transfer volume. This increase in long-term holder dominance has contributed to greater market stability.
